.@The_Nationals are sent to Canberra to fight for the regions. That’s what I am doing – speaking out against the irrational rush to renewables that Chris Bowen – the Federal Minister for Ruining the Regions – is orchestrating whilst country communities suffer under the strain.

Good to speak with Peta Credlin on @SkyNewsAust last night about the rush to renewables madness that is upsetting country communities & ruining lives & livelihoods in the Riverina. This must stop! Here is a clip from the program. Watch my speech here:

The rush to renewables to appease an ineffectual net zero target that won’t move the global climate dial one iota is dividing families, ruining generational friendships & harming country communities in the Riverina. Discussed this issue with Kieran Gilbert on @SkyNewsAust today.

A rare honour to second the nomination for @MiltonDickMP to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 48th Parliament of Australia. Milton was exemplary as the Speaker in the previous Parliament & will do a great job again. Watch my speech:

Temora-born Private Walter Fagg was remembered at a special Last Post Ceremony today at the @AWMemorial to mark the start of the 48th Federal Parliament. This brave son of the Riverina, who served with the 2/27 Australian Infantry Battalion in World War II, died in 1941.

Big changes in the Riverina media landscape with two notables moving on … Peter Mahoney retiring after more than half a century in Riverina newspapers & radio & @WINNews_Riv cameraman James Saligari returning to Sydney to join @9NewsSyd. Thx & best wishes for the future to both.

Great to visit #Crookwell to celebrate the 200th issue of The Upper Lachlan Gazette. Congrats to the newspaper’s publisher Floyd Davis, editor Tristan Kensit, team of volunteer proofreaders & local advertisers who work tirelessly to keep this community publication thriving.

The search continues, despite low cloud and restricted visibility, for a plane now missing for more than 48 hours, in the Snowy Mountains. Spoke to Georgie Burgess of @WINNews_ACT about the worrying situation this afternoon.

Spoke to @_juliabradley on @SkyNewsAust about the urgent need to slash bureaucratic and green tape as a means of boosting productivity for farmers and #SmallBiz. This should be a Government priority with the return of Federal Parliament next week.
