This past week was spent down in Canberra, holding the Albanese Labor Government to account, fighting for the issues that matter to our communities, and ensuring your voice was heard loud and clear in our nation’s capital.
Beginning this week was a solemn ceremony at the Australian War Memorial, paying my respects to the heroic servicemen and women who have laid down their lives for our nation. The Australian War Memorial is a constant reverent reminder of the importance of the decisions we make in Parliament every day.
Sadly, as we work through this sitting week, I have been utterly disappointed to see the web of lies the Albanese Labor Government are spinning, such as with their Stage Three Tax Cuts backflip. They have proven time and time again their focus is not on everyday Aussies, with no plan to ease the cost-of-living crisis, with more red tape bearing over our farmers’ and fishers’ futures, and with skyrocketing energy prices from Labor’s reckless race to renewables.
Only from pressure by the Coalition, we welcome the announcement of an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) supermarket inquiry into price gouging. I am looking to seeing some fairness for farmers and cattle producers, and most importantly for you at the checkout.
With the recent weather events, I also want to make sure all impacted locals know of the help currently available. The Federal and State Governments have announced three separate grants for Burdekin Shire Council and Townsville City Council residents: the Emergency Hardship Assistance Grants, the Essential Services Hardship Assistance Scheme, and the Essential Services Safety and Reconnection Grants. Please search www.qld.gov.au/disasterhelp or www.disasterassist.gov.au for more information and how to apply.
Thanks for reading folks, and please contact me at Andrew.Willcox.MP@aph.gov.au or phone my office on 4944 0662 if there is anything I can do to best work for you.
