The big, burly tradie pulls his ute off busy Canberra - Queanbeyan road, hazards flashing. Steps into middle of the thoroughfare, halting traffic. Impatient drivers: "mate, what!"
Tradie gently collects ittle turtle who'd been contemplating playing chicken.

Legislative Council waste-to-energy inquiry I chaired highlights many inconsistencies of NSW Government’s plan for regional areas to deal with metro waste.
The answer isn’t shifting the burden from one community to another, one generation to another.

Some politicians trying to dismiss debate that threatening language/ behaviours towards politicians isn’t on the rise - with my own experience, I beg to differ.
While John Newman may have been killed 32yrs ago, doesn’t diminish what’s going on.

The dog’s breakfast that is Labor’s firearms “legislation” was rammed through NSW Parliament as “urgent” on Christmas Eve 2025 at 3am.
The continuing lack of clarity, how it’s going to work and who’s paying for it, shows the mess it still is.

If the Electoral Commissioner publicly discusses an “intolerable risk” for election failure - bearing in mind we have a NSW election in March - do you reckon the government should do something about it?

Without a successful forestry sector, Australia cannot meet its goals: on housing targets, jobs, regional investment, trade, environmental management and more.
This is about a balanced vision for a sustainable industry AND good environmental stewardship.

There are big questions about how the ACT's natural gas shutdown will impact residents directly across the border in NSW - and it seems the NSW Labor government hasn’t given much thought to it before I asked the question in the @NSWParlLA.

Easy to make all the promises and tap into the vibe - way harder when it’s time to actually deliver in the best interests of the majority.
(As an Upper House member, not sure it would pass the pub test there either! 😬)
What seems to be a conspiracy theory that “big tobacco” is propping up the illicit tobacco market to try to pay less tax doesn’t make sense - and definitely doesn’t help.
I was on the NSW Legislative Council Inquiry into this issue. More here 👇
