It’s Time to Tax Multinationals

Transcript Why? That’s one question that I want to ask repeatedly in this speech. I see the government’s changes as a welcome step, but it’s a tiny, tiny step and we need many, many more. It could be one of my footprints, Senator Ayres! We see the government’s previous tax changes. They weren’t cuts; they […]

Telstra 3G Backdown “Not Good Enough”

Telstra has announced it will delay shutting down its 3G network by two months, after public pressure and a looming Senate Inquiry was announced. I call on the Federal Communications Minister to intervene and cancel the shutdown. Telstra’s back down is not good enough. I again call on the telecommunications companies to abandon their 3G […]

Kawana Dolphins Senior and Junior Rugby League

The Kawana Dolphins Senior and Junior Rugby League club recently welcomed me for a meeting. They’ve been caught off guard by news their club will be shut down to make way for a new Olympic indoor sports facility.  Despite the government claiming it consulted the community, the club only became aware of it the night […]
