The Nationals have just introduced legislation to protect women’s rights. My Nationals colleague Alison Penfold introduced a bill this morning to define a biological female into the Sex Discrimination Act. This would let women protect their own spaces, sports and activities. It would stop us getting ridiculous court decisions like we saw in the Tickle v Giggle case. The Nationals will always defend women's rights.

We need to build coal fired power stations again not blow them up.

Last night, the One Nation candidate in Farrer said that the current number of migrants is "probably not" too many. Will One Nation really make our border stronger then? It has been revealed in the past week that the One Nation candidate tried to run for Labor and Anthony Albanese in 2022 and donated to a teal backed candidate last year. What are you really going to get if you vote for One Nation?

Our eSafety Commissioner has lost multiple court cases which reveal that she has been acting beyond the boundaries that the Parliament set for her. Now the US Congress is concerned that her actions are limiting the First Amendment rights of Americans. It is time for a proper Parliamentary investigation of the eSafety Commissioner.

Our country is doing it tough. Our living standards have gone back a decade, energy prices are out of control and we can't even guarantee fuel supplies. That's the bad news. t The good news is that we have everything we need to revive Australia here in Australia. We have the resources, the people and the land. We don't need to import anything from anywhere. We must manifest a HYPER Australia with more Australian farming, more Australian mining, more Australian manufacturing and more Australian jobs. More Australian everything. The Nationals are patriots and under my leadership we will fight every day to use our resources to improve the lives of Australians first.

Govt officials admit that "there is nothing in the law" that would stop the eSafety Commissioner saying that Digital ID should be used to verify someone's age. Remember, the social media ban applies to children under 16 but to enforce it EVERYONE will need to verify their age.

Tonight Labor passed a bill to subsidise the importation of oil from overseas. Because of Labor's war on fossil fuels, AUSTRALIAN taxes are being used to support OVERSEAS production and jobs. Labor refused to support our amendments to support the production of DOMESTIC oil and gas jobs. Why is Labor using our taxes to support overseas jobs but not Australian jobs?

I gave this speech 5 years ago calling on us to drill baby drill so that we could be self sufficient in oil production. Labor has instead put carbon taxes on our oil production and wasted billions on hydrogen projects that have produced nothing but hot air. We should have been drilling 5 years ago but as the old saying goes, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is today.

Today Michelle Landry and I shopped like it was 2022 and it was quite the shock! We used old supermarket catalogues to buy a trolley of items that cost $132 in 2022 before Anthony Albanese was PM. Today the same trolley cost $215! I don't know how families are surviving. The extra costs are a consequence of the PM failing to do what he said he would and cut your power bill by $275. Higher electricity prices make it more expensive to produce everything and that makes everything more expensive. With voting opening tomorrow we need a change of government to the LNP. We will keep our gas for Australians first and build low cost nuclear power stations that will make groceries cheaper. We can't afford 3 more years of Labor!

Things were better when we produced our own oil. REVIVE HYPER AUSTRALIA

Our energy regulator has no answer for why we are paying three times higher power prices than the US. It is a national disgrace that with very similar energy resources the US now is now taking our manufacturing jobs because we have shut coal and gas plant, and we will not build nuclear power.

I wonder what the gender pay gap is at this workplace?

Enjoy Tax Freedom Day this week! So far, on average, you have worked the first 4 months of this year to pay taxes to the Government. Taxes have now risen to about a third of the economy under Labor. Under Labor, Tax Freedom Day has been getting later and later. Taxes are up $26,000 per Australian household per year since COVID. Now Labor wants more taxes. Labor wants a tax on property (removing negative gearing), Labor wants a tax on investment (increasing tax on capital gains) and a tax on small businesses (taxing the trusts that so many use). Enough with more Labor taxes that just make you work more for them.

The Labor Government doesn't even know how much it will cost to get to net zero.

Yesterday I was in the great town of Narrandera and they showed me the shocking water quality that comes out of their tap. Today, Michael McCormack and I took the water to Canberra and challenged the press whether they would drink this water. How is that we have spent $13 billion on the Murray-Darling Basin Plan but we can't deliver clean drinking water to the towns of the Murray-Darling? This is totally unacceptable. I will be working with the Nationals candidate for Farrer, Brad Robertson, to fix this shocking outcome.

I am running for Nats leader to end the tyranny of groupthink. We should not let the speech police stop us from ending crazy goals like net zero. Australia is in decline because no one is permitted to question whether we should do things differently. We must give the Australian people a choice because things are really bad and for things to get better there needs to be change.

Did you know that the government wants to charge you for the solar power that you don't use? This "sun tax" will charge you 1.2 cents per every kilowatt hour of energy your solar panels generate that you do not use. The sun tax will be mandatory in NSW form next year and it is spreading elsewhere next! Labor is now even taxing the sun!

When I became leader of the Nationals this week I said we need more AUSTRALIAN EVERTHING to take our country back. Last year, Zac Brown, the head of the McLaren F1 team, reckoned I was "uneducated and uninformed" for questioning whether his team were biased against Oscar Piastri. Who thinks we need an Aussie F1 team too? 🇦🇺
