If you see a first responder today, please say thank you. In the last week, a firefighter tragically lost her life in Qld. Her colleague is still in hospital. Overnight, two SA police officers working to protect us were stabbed. Countless examples of bravery around the country.

Once you’ve looked at an Olsen, it’s hard to forget his bold use of colour or fail to admire the imagination of the man. As we admire ‘Sydney sun’ at the National Gallery of Australia – and his works in galleries around the country – may our memory of the man always burn bright.

Today we farewell dear Australian artist, John Olsen AO OBE. Olsen transmitted the beauty of life and magic of our landscape into something even more beautiful and magical on canvas. In exploring the Australian landscape, he uncovered our delightful relationship with the land.

Northern Goldfields communities are calling for help against alcohol-fuelled crime, violence and neglect. Today, Laverton & Leonora Shire presidents shared their experiences to members of my team. The PM needs to listen to regional communities & reinstate the Cashless Debit Card.

The Deputy Prime Minister was asked three times this morning to explain his government’s new superannuation policy and he couldn’t. When Labor run out of money, they come after yours. What a mess.

Today, we remember those lives that were lost, and thank the first responders, the ADF and everyday Australians who helped families in their time of need. Australians are resilient and strong, but one year on, many families are still recovering and communities still rebuilding.

One year ago, relentless rain brought heartbreak and devastation to families and businesses in QLD and NSW. Properties were damaged, livestock lost and, most tragically of all, people lost their lives. 📷: ADF Joint Task Group 629.3 team in Goodna, 2022.
