I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful Easter, a time to gather with family, reflect, and recharge and to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. For many Western Australian families this year, however, Easter came with an added burden: the anxiety and uncertainty about whether the bowser would be dry, and a nagging sense that the Albanese government simply does not have a handle on things. That feeling is not unfounded. It is the direct consequence of a

Inflation is not an abstract statistic. It is the weekly grocery bill that keeps creeping higher. It is rent and mortgage repayments swallowing a greater share of household income. It is electricity, healthcare and insurance costs rising faster than wages. And last month, it was another interest-rate rise. Labor told Australians an increase to the cash rate would not be necessary. Instead of confronting the economic reality behind these pressures, the Albanese Government pref

Western Australians are paying the price for a weak, slow and distracted Albanese Government. As instability in the Middle East puts pressure on global fuel supply, WA is once again left exposed and Labor is once again behind the curve. Because in Western Australia, fuel is not optional. Our farmers depend on it. Our miners depend on it. Our freight operators depend on it. Our regional communities depend on it. Whole industries depend on diesel every single day just to keep m

Dear Liberal Friends This government will stop at nothing when it comes to failing to defend Australian values. Time and again, when Australia needs strength, Anthony Albanese offers weakness. When the country needs clarity, he hides behind excuses. And when leadership matters, he reaches for the smallest words he can find. Last week gave us yet another disgraceful example. Across parts of Australia, sermons and mourning events were held for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - a  murder

At this important moment for the Liberal Party and our nation, I want to make it very clear: we are united, we are focused, and we are determined to restore Australia’s promise. The election of Angus Taylor as Leader of the Federal Parliamentary Liberal Party marks a new chapter. Leadership transitions are part of a healthy and democratic party. I thank Sussan Ley for her service and commitment. I am confident that under Angus’s leadership we will build a strong, disciplined

FACTS ON FREE SPEECH You may have seen claims that the Liberal Party of Australia “supported hate-speech laws”.   That claim is false  and it is being pushed deliberately to mislead Australians. So before anything else, here is the truth in plain English.   THE NEW LAWS ARE NOT “SPEECH POLICING” Claims that these laws are about controlling speech are wrong. These are counter-extremism laws, not ideological censorship. They target organised violent extremist activity, not lawf

If energy policy were judged on superficial speeches and symbolism, Chris Bowen’s 2025 performance could be declared a triumph. He has announced, promised and travelled – and basked in any international admiration that came his way. Unfortunately for Australian families, manufacturers and workers here at home, it is outcomes, affordability, reliability, confidence and economic security that matter. Bowen’s energy plan is failing to deliver any of this. He is the architect of

As is often the case when the Albanese Government makes a multibillion-dollar announcement, the devil is in the detail. Labor’s plan to sell-off more than 60 Defence assets is no exception. Already, there are serious concerns about this proposal, particularly its effect in erasing a Defence presence from our cities. Here in WA, that includes the Irwin and Leeuwin barracks. According to the Government’s own report, these barracks support roughly 1150-1200 and 350-400 personnel

I am proud of our great country, and I am proud of our flag.  I believe we live in the greatest country on earth. I support Australia Day because I believe our country is worth celebrating - its freedoms, its people, and the opportunity it offers to millions who call it home. Our way of life is worth defending and our national day is worth celebrating. Australia Day should always be a moment when a vast and diverse continent pauses to reflect on what binds us together. Our sh

It was our worst nightmare. A massacre on Bondi Beach: children, rabbis, Holocaust survivors, all of them doing nothing more and nothing less than celebrating Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of light. Australia will never be the same. And make no mistake: this evil was not spontaneous, and it was not isolated. This was not “just” an attack on Jewish Australians. It was an attack on all Australians, a strike at our social cohesion, our way of life, and the basic promise that peo

As Parliament rose for the year, Australians were left with one stark message: under Labor, the economic storm clouds are only getting darker. Inflation is back up to an extraordinary 3.8% - above market expectations and well above the RBA’s forecasts. Both headline and underlying inflation are now back above the RBA’s target band. With just 17 days until Christmas, this is the worst possible news for struggling mortgage holders, who can now kiss any hope of extra rate relief

Fact: Albanese has lost control of migration and Australians are paying the price. Australia has always been a proud migrant nation - built by people who chose this country, worked hard and made it their home. But migration must be  managed , not left to drift. Under Anthony Albanese, it is completely out of control. In just its first two years, the Albanese Government brought in  one million migrants  -  70 per cent higher  than in any previous two-year period. Someone is ar

Labor's net zero plan is economic sabotage and it’s time to put families, reliability and jobs first. In other words - it’s time to change course. When Anthony Albanese promised Australians an easy, cheap energy transition, Australians were duped into believing it would mean lower bills, secure supply and a smooth shift to a cleaner future. Instead, after more than 3 years of Labor, families and small businesses are paying a heavy price for an energy policy built on ideology.

With the cost of living on the rise, the past few years have been tough for many families - and this Christmas will be no different. To help ease the burden, my office is proud to launch our Fifth Christmas Food Drive in support of Foodbank WA. We're inviting the community to donate in-date, non-perishable food items to help those doing it tough this festive season. Donations can be dropped off at the Office of Senator Slade Brockman (4/1 Harper Terrace, South Perth) on weekd

After more than 340 days, Anthony Albanese finally met President Donald Trump. The meeting looked constructive and positive for the long-standing Australia–US relationship, but Australians will judge it by outcomes, not photo opportunities. Mr Albanese must deliver on AUKUS and the jobs in WA that will come with this investment, not just announce it. The Coalition initiated AUKUS in government. We welcome genuine progress and will always back what strengthens our national sec
