Wherever you are this Wednesday 11 November, at 11am we will all pause to remember the Australians who have given their lives in the service of our nation.

UNSW is opening a law school in Parramatta next year. I got a chance to check it out last week.

Whatever this summer brings, we’re ready to respond.
We’re boosting funding for bushfire preparedness and making sure our first responders have the mental health support they need.
Because while we hope for the best, we’ll prepare for the worst together.

I have said we need a digital detox in our schools.
A new report says the average Year 11 and 12 student spends about an hour and a half a day at school on a screen - looking at stuff that has nothing to do with school.
Games, googling, watching sport. Sending messages to mates.
I’m not anti-tech. But this is not learning.

This is a win for Aussie businesses, farmers and customers. That's why the whole of Parliament should be supporting it.

The number of people who download a ‘Nudify’ app every month is 200,000.
It should be zero.
The Digital Duty of Care Bill is about protecting our kids, and stopping these sickos from harming them.

A little generosity can go a long way at Christmas. The Kmart Wishing Tree is a simple way to help make the season brighter for families who are doing it tough. If you can, consider adding a gift this year. 🎄🎁

One of my favourite days of the year – the @Kmart_Australia @salvos Annual Wishing Tree Launch. This year we celebrate 39 years of this great initiative.
I joined my Parliamentary colleagues to drop off some Christmas pressies to kick off the Christmas season.

Western Sydney International Airport is now open ✈️
This is what building Australia’s future looks like.
WSI Nancy-Bird Walton Airport will connect Western Sydney and Australia to the world with 24/7 flights.
That means more jobs, opportunity and growth to millions of Australians.
It’s our first new major airport in more than 50 years and a proud day for Australia.

This year more Aussies have started a uni degree than ever before.
And it’s just the start, because earlier this week the Parliament passed legislation that will open the doors of our universities even wider.

Why is our government making changes to trusts?
Because nurses, teachers, aged care workers and other wage earners are paying too much tax.
And those earning income from property investments, shares and other assets need to help a little bit more.
These changes will make the tax system fairer.
And help get the government into a position where we can pay for services we all rely on, like Medicare and our world-class hospitals, and give further tax cuts to those doing it toughest.

An honour to meet with Brooke Joppich and Chad Perris who will be representing Australia in the LA 2028 Paralympic Games, alongside Paralympic champion and Paralympics Board Director Ellie Cole.
Thanks for meeting with @AliFranceMP and me this morning and we wish you the best for your training and lead up events for LA.

GET THE FACTS: The Coalition doubled Australia's gross debt even before COVID, and racked up almost two thirds of total gross debt.
Between 2013-2022 the Coalition racked up more than $600bn of gross debt, and debt went from $257bn in 2013/14 to $542bn in 2018/19.

25 years since Australia’s service in Afghanistan, our nation pays our deepest respect and gratitude to all who served our country.
We honour those who went and those who fell.
Those who came home wounded in body or soul.
And we honour their families and loved ones.
Lest we forget.

“I thought uni was for fancy people.”
That’s what Georgia said before she did a FEE-FREE Uni Ready course.
They’re short courses that give people the skills they need to start a uni degree.
Georgia said she wouldn’t be in higher education without this and if it wasn’t accessible on the Central Coast.
These courses change lives.
That’s why we’re investing an extra $1 billion over the next decade to expand access to these courses for more people like Georgia.
