Today's public hearings confirmed rushed legislation with almost no consultation and almost no data to support the different parts of the Draft Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026.

Christians will be offered no protections under Labor's new hate speech laws. Watch this exchange with a senior bureaucrat and you'll see why more time is needed to address serious issues in this legislation.

Public hearings into Labor's new hate speech laws continue today and there are many questions left unanswered. There are 500 pages of this legislation, and yet consultation has been rushed and brief. Click here to tune in from 10.30am QLD Time: https://t.co/iBqVRlWbJz.

Anthony Albanese has introduced new laws that will impact all Australians rather than stopping another Bondi. I'll be asking questions in public hearings today. Click here to watch: https://t.co/uoyQQoKrSr

America and other allies need our antimony, gallium and rare earths, but Labor is sending the mining industry to its knees. #SkyNewsAustralia

Regional communities should not have to beg for basic flood warning systems every wet season. Labor needs to explain why promised funding has not translated into functioning infrastructure where it is needed most. Read the councils' full statement here: https://t.co/nuXYK27d45

The stories about how Senator Ron Boswell fought for farmers, fishers and small business are legendary. I went on Sky News today to discuss his enormous contribution to Australia and Queensland. #valeronboswell

Former Senator Ron Boswell was one of the great characters and a tireless defender of primary industries and small business. Not only that, he was a mentor and friend to many - in and out of politics. Vale to a great Australian and a true warrior for Queensland. #ronboswell

About to join Trudy McIntosh on Sky News to discuss the passing of Senator Ron Boswell and Sir Graham McCamley. We'll also be talking about the North West Queensland floods. Hope you can tune in.

Labor's new environment laws will impact the important work of miners and primary producers while making it harder for land managers to control invasive species. We can protect the environment while still allowing our most important industries to provide jobs for Australians.

I hope your Christmas this year is happy, holy and filled with family, mates and plenty of fresh Aussie produce. #ChristmasinAustralia

Do you de-vein your prawns? Let us know in the comments! I visited NQ Marina Fresh Seafoods in Townsville to see Col Lound about Christmas seafood options...and to test my prawn peeling technique! 🦐 🦐 🦐 #AussieSeafood

If seafood is on your Christmas table, make it Australian. The Labor Party has openly attacked commercial fishing and driven many hard-working and sustainable operators to breaking point. #AussieSeafood Queensland Seafood Industry Association

Australians need more gas and real action to deliver cheaper energy. Labor has proven again that its policies are for headlines, not substance. Australia deserves leadership, not an activist agenda.

The Coalition has a serious, practical plan ready. Leadership means acting and acting without delay. #bondi

We have to get environmental laws that work better for nature and better for Australia's food security and economy.

The idea that more government intervention in Australia's gas sector will solve supply and pricing issues doesn't stack up. Labor needs to stop funding activists and increase gas extraction to preserve Australian jobs and keep royalties and taxes from going offshore.

The Parliamentary Friends of Defence hosted Invictus Australia in Canberra this week. The power of sport to connect, support and heal veterans and their families cannot be overstated. I am urging the Federal Government to fund Invictus, and The Oasis in Townsville.

The Nationals have listened to Australians, and we have a plan for cheaper electricity, secure jobs, and lower emissions. Read more here: https://t.co/Li0Fb71pdP
