Saturday night I had a pleasure of attending Get Home Safe Foundation’s Annual Christmas in July Gala fundraiser.
It was fantastic to catch up with my great friends Darren and Debbie Davis who run the foundation. Their passion for road safety is one shared by me, especially ensuring regional people are informed and advocated for.
I took part in a panel on the night and donated a dinner for four at Parliament House to the evening’s auction which it went for a tidy sum!
Congrats Darren, Debbie and the entire Get Home Safe board for a brilliant event and for their years of advocacy on road safety. ... See MoreSee Less

Following the Federal Court’s decision in the Tickle v Giggle case, Federal Liberal Opposition Leader Angus Taylor MP has committed to amending the Sex Discrimination Act to define biological sex and ensure protections for single-sex spaces.

This should not be about hostility towards anyone. Every Australian deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. But protecting the rights of one group should not mean erasing the legitimate rights and protections of another. ... See MoreSee Less
