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. #localhero

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. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjzSPK…

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? nicholeoverallmlc.substack.c…

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. forestryconference.com.au

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. aboutregional.com.au/will-th…

What happened in the Legislative Council this week? A busy week in the #UpperHouse saw bills passed, censure motions agreed to, committee reports tabled and new orders for papers.

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! 😬)

Political Editor Andrew Clennell nails it. About bloody time One Nation was held accountable. Pickering is Hanson’s handpicked Victorian leader. Imagine the outrage if Labor ran him. PHON would demand his scalp by lunchtime. Enough hiding behind “the ABC is attacking us” !!!

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 👇 nicholeoverallmlc.substack.c…

There are three more days of Budget Estimates this week, with the final six portfolios to be examined 🔍️ Tune in to the live streams on Parliament of NSW's website 🖥️👀

Veteran Damian made a personal plea at a roundtable in Queanbeyan yesterday, calling out potential consequences of Labor’s plan for a $5000 cap on health support for veterans for injuries sustained while serving. Thank you all for your service. dailytelegraph.com.au/news/n…

You want political solutions and a vision for the future? Mathias Cormann’s oration is worth a read.
