No fair-go for working families
21 December 2018
Labor used to be the party for working class people like my family who wanted to do better and see their kids do better still. Labor is going to an election promising to punish the very people who got ahead under policies it once championed.
Regions grow from the bottom up
14 September 2018
As long as Australia's regions rely on outside labour to do basic jobs while locals experience high unemployment, these areas won’t grow. As long as people in regional Australia are outside the real economy, those area’s economies will be weighed down. Get unemployed people into the existing jobs and create new jobs to meet unmet demand. It’s not rocket science. It’s how every economy in the world has developed in history.
Australia's Power Crisis
29 August 2018
Australia’s political leaders have been lying to the Australian people and lacking courage and determination to implement policies and reforms they know are required. On welfare, the pension age, national debt, tax reform and certainly on energy policy. You can only lie for so long before the truth catches up with you. Regular people have figured it out. The revolving door of governments will continue until our political leaders do the same.

How work for the dole is working
3 June 2018
There are misleading, nonsensical and outright false claims regarding the CDP. The government’s reforms are increasing the role of CDP to drive economic participation in remote Indigenous communities.
Break the cycle
5 May 2018
The most important factor in improving Indigenous health is economic participation – getting adults into work and kids into school.
FIFO activists do nothing for Aboriginal people
21 March 2018
The Green movement isn’t about conservation or environmental protection. It’s far left ideology that uses lies, bullying and deep pockets to opposes all development. An ideology completely at odds with Australia’s regions who are crying out for jobs & businesses opportunities.
Statement on defamation settlement with Fairfax
26 July 2015
Last year I announced that I would take legal action against Fairfax. I can today confirm that those legal proceedings have been settled and concluded with Fairfax agreeing to apologise to me and to provide a retraction. Fairfax has acknowledged that I had nothing to do with the Lake Disappointment deal, directly or indirectly. They have agreed to publish an apology in their print and online publications and to remove the offending articles and allegations from their online publications. They have withdrawn all criticisms of me.
