The important DPA reclassification was confirmed in February this year under the Coalition Government. Very clear Labor has no plan for Western Sydney, save for cuts and spin.

Parliament only began this week and already Labor is deserting Western Sydney. Anthony Albanese is cutting $20m in funding for a vital tech jobs program. What’s next on Labor’s Western Sydney hit list?

As an important mark of respect to the life and leadership of Shinzo Abe, I spoke in the Senate today to offer my condolences.

FMD is a serious threat to Australian agriculture and rural and regional communities. The federal government must further enhance screening measures at the Australian border. Good to see Australia and Indonesia working closely together to combat FMD threat.

I’m struggling to comprehend the assassination of Shinzo Abe. My heart breaks for his family, for Japan and for the loss of a wonderful friend. Democracy has suffered a great tragedy today and the world rightly joins Japan in shedding their tears.

The NSW Government is kicking in to help Rusty and the crew at the #VeteranSurfProject who are doing some pretty cool work to help our veterans along with police, firefighters and paramedics with mental health programs. 🙌 Learn more at: veteransurfproject.org

Many communities in New South Wales, particularly those in Western Sydney, are again battling dangerous weather conditions and severe flooding. I urge all residents to monitor official advice from
@BOM_au
and
@NSWSES
. Thank you to the ADF for their support.

Older Australians should keep more of what they earn. Changing the pension arrangements will help struggling businesses address labour shortages and support seniors and veterans who want to work extra hours.

For 70+ years,

has been caring for children with complex medical needs in Western Sydney - but they're now facing closure because of COVID-19 impacts. At the last election we committed $2 million. We are calling on the Albanese Government to urgently intervene.

Important news that 🇦🇺's unemployment rate is down to 3.9% - the lowest in nearly 50 years. For women, unemployment is 3.7% for a 2nd month. A re-elected Morrison Government will continue to build a strong economy & stronger future for all Australians.

Anthony Albanese: ❌ Doesn’t understand unemployment. ❌ Doesn’t understand interest rates. ❌ Doesn’t know his disability policy. ❌ Makes up wages policy on the run. ❌ Didn’t know Australia’s borders reopened months ago. ❌ Won’t answer questions on Labor’s ⬆️ deficits.

policies now lodged for independent & public scrutiny, all fully funded. Anthony Albanese has failed to submit a single policy for scrutiny & publication. Labor’s got $440b of vague spending promises. Don’t risk Labor’s recklessness. #ausvotes

My deepest sympathies to the Government & people of the UAE following sad news of the death of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. 🇦🇺 & 🇦🇪 have a close partnership, demonstrated by your help to 🇦🇺 during the 2019 bushfires & the evacuation from Afghanistan.

🇦🇺 is deeply disappointed to see the Taliban’s escalated restrictions on Afghan women & girls, directing them to cover their faces in public, only leave home when necessary & with a male guardian. 🇦🇺 with partners will call the Taliban out & judge them by their actions not words.
