5 MR T WILSON: To move:
That this House:

(a) the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations continues to endorse its solution despite whistleblowers saying corruption is worse than it was before the appointment of the CFMEU Administrator;
(b) the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations refuses to answer questions about new allegations of corruption since the Government put the CFMEU into administration;
(c) organisers were promoted into senior roles by the Administrator and subsequently sacked on allegations of accepting cartel kickbacks and corruption since the administration has been in place;
(d) meetings have been tolerated with known organised crime figures and meetings have seemingly been green lighted with violent misogynists since the administration has been in place;
(e) there are allegations of bribes and cartel kickbacks being paid with the knowledge and possible sanction of the administration;
(f) the union leader, backed by the Government to reform the CFMEU, Zach Smith, directed a subordinate to secretly meet with a 'notorious construction industry fixer' and Melbourne 'underworld identity' Mick Gatto;
(g) despite claiming meetings between CFMEU officials and Mr Gatto could lead to up to two years in prison, the Administrator only issued a caution once it was revealed this meeting was made public;
(h) the union leader backed by the Government to reform the CFMEU, Zach Smith, has been having coffee and card catch ups with John Setka whose conduct was the basis for the appointment of the Administrator in the first place;
(i) the Administrator has seemingly sanctioned meetings between Mr Smith and Mr Setka and they continue to this day;
(j) the Prime Minister relies on Mr Smith's vote in meetings of the National Executive of the Australian Labor Party with other ministers; and
(k) the current Government's failure to take tough action is tainted by its acceptance of $7 million in donations from the CFMEU, and informs why it is backing the Administration even though whistleblowers are saying it is failing; and
(2) notes that:
(a) the Government is not taking the action needed to stop the corruption and cartel kickbacks that led the CFMEU to be put under administration because of its conflicts of interest;
(b) allowing the criminal and corrupt CFMEU to run rampant across residential, commercial and public projects, is pushing up costs to taxpayers and inflation, and is pushing up the cost of first homes by up to 30 per cent; and
(c) leaked advice from the Department of the Treasury states the Government will fail to reach the National Housing Accord target of 1.2 million homes by 2029 because it is putting the CFMEU ahead of first home buyers.

6 DR WEBSTER: To move:
That this House:
(1) condemns the Government's lack of transparency in its proposal to slash default regional road speed limits from 100 kilometres per hour to as low as 70 kilometres per hour, including its attempt to quietly progress the policy without proper public scrutiny;
(2) notes that the Government was forced, at the eleventh hour, to extend its abysmally short 28-day consultation period only after strong intervention from the Opposition;
(3) warns that the Government's proposal is a lazy, damaging approach that will slow regional Australia to a crawl, and drive up freight times and costs for farmers, transport operators and small businesses;
(4) highlights that instead of fixing the roads by funding maintenance for line-marking, road shoulders, rumble strips and pothole repairs, the Government is cutting the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program from 1 July next year; and
(5) calls on the Government to commit to consultation and genuine road safety improvements that protect lives without crippling regional productivity and national supply chains.

7 MR GREGG: To move:
That this House:
(1) acknowledges that on 1 November, bulk billing incentives were expanded to all Australians, and a new incentive payment began for practices that bulk bill every patient; and
(2) notes:
(a) that these policies will mean:
(i) nine out of ten general practitioner (GP) visits will be bulk-billed by 2030; and
(ii) the current number of fully bulk-billed practices will triple to around 4,800 nationally;
(b) other policies the Government has delivered to strengthen Medicare, such as:
(i) opening 90 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across Australia, with 47 more on the way;
(ii) tripling the bulk-billing incentive;
(iii) opening 61 free Medicare Mental Health Centres;
(iv) lowering the maximum cost of Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme listed medicines to $25 from 1 January 2026 and freezing the concession price at $7.70 until 2030; and
(v) boosting funding for hospitals by $1.7 billion; and
(c) that while the Government is expanding access to bulk billing, by contrast, the Leader of the Opposition as the Minister for Health:
(i) never increased Medicare rebates, the only health minister in Australian history not to do so;
(ii) doubled down on the then Government's $50 billion cut to hospitals; and
(iii) continued the fight for the former Leader of the Opposition's GP tax.

That this House:
(1) notes that:
(a) the 3G telecommunications network was switched off on the Government's watch in 2024;
(b) the interim report of the Senate inquiry into the shutdown made clear recommendations about the impending shutdown, recommending that the Government delay the shutdown until it was satisfied that 'the 4G network provides coverage equivalent to or better than the coverage provided by the licensee's 3G network';
(c) the Government relied on the assurances of commercial operators to ensure equivalent mobile coverage after the shutdown but despite promises, regional Australians have been detrimentally affected and thousands of consumers have been left with worse, or no, coverage at all;
(d) furthermore, there have been reports of poor handling of consumer complaints about their loss of service post 3G shutdown; and
(e) the Government has failed to take responsibility for the fallout of the 3G shutdown in regional Australia, and its response to the final report by the Senate into the shutdown was again lazy and noncommittal, failing to agree to any new actions; and
(2) calls upon the Minister for Communications to take responsibility for the botched 3G shutdown and its impact on the connectivity of regional Australians by:
(a) providing transparency regarding the crowdsourcing component of the National Audit of Mobile Coverage and expanding it to include off-road areas (including on private land such as farming and grazing properties) to ensure an accurate picture of the impact of the shutdown on mobile coverage is attained; and
(b) thoroughly addressing the first recommendation of the final Senate inquiry report to 'establish a program to help customers that have lost mobile phone coverage since the 3G shutoff'.

Treasury Laws Amendment (Payday Superannuation) Bill 2025
Superannuation Guarantee Charge Amendment Bill 2025
The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms Lawrence ) took the chair at 09:30.
Healthcare is a concern for young Australians but effects all of us. 1 in 4 Australians struggle with accessing healthcare.
The government should make a change because it will earn them more money and save them money.
When you're not sick you're probably at work to earn money, and lots of that money would most likely go into the economy.
It will save the government money because having healthcare will mean that people will get illnesses or diseases addressed before it turns into a big problem.
That's good because it keeps more people out of hospital so they're saving money on our hospitals.
About 46% of Australians have put treatment off due to cost.
That's why I believe that the government should increase the amount of bulk-billing doctors in Australia.
To the Honourable Members of Parliament
There are many ways the government can support young Australians to have a better future. Living costs are so high. Petrol costs are so high. Our parents are struggling to pay for our needs.
It would help to lower taxes and find another way of making money to pay for government services.
You could also lower the tax on petrol, making it cheaper, which would mean Supermarkets would not have to increase their prices as they are not paying high transport costs.
We could get wealthy companies to pay more tax and individuals to pay less tax.
Thank you for listening to our voice.
Imagine a future where every single child in Australia lives in a thriving community, with access to shops and essential amenities.
By investing in and supporting local businesses, our government has the opportunity to empower young people with access to local communities and jobs.
It would be a successful and profitable step for the government to support and take action in strengthening local businesses, so they can thrive.
In turn, more taxes could be generated, creating a stronger Australia and a brighter future.
Imagine a future where everyone has easy access to local businesses, where people don't have to drive kilometres upon kilometres just for a simple carton of milk. The future of Australia rests in its small towns. Let's make the future happen today!
My name is Heidi and at the time of writing, I am a 16 year old student. As a young Australian, I believe our government has a responsibility to build a future where every person is accepted for who they are—no matter their race, religion, sexuality, or culture.
Too often, young people grow up hearing voices of hate and division, when what we desperately need is love, respect, and understanding.
Australia is one of the most diverse countries in the world, and that should be our greatest strength.
But when people are judged for the colour of their skin, who they love, or the faith they follow, we all lose.
If the government truly wants to create a better tomorrow, it must do more than just talk about tolerance—it must act.
That means stronger protections against discrimination, proper education in schools that teaches empathy and inclusivity, and support for young people who feel silenced or left out.
My generation doesn't want to live in a country divided by fear. We want a future built on acceptance, kindness, and courage.
If our leaders take bold steps today, they can help create an Australia where difference is not just tolerated but celebrated—and that is the kind of tomorrow I want to grow up in.
Thanks, Heidi.
If the government wants to build a better tomorrow for young Australians, the first step must be to give Elders the microphone. Not just in Indigenous spaces, not just on Country, but in front of the whole nation.
Elders brought the Uluru Statement from the Heart across this continent, offering a way forward for all Australians. And then they were turned away in the referendum. That cannot happen again.
Storytelling has long been a practise that is utilised by humans in a way to share experiences and entertain. Around campfires my ancestors orally told stories and exchanged sacred information in the form of song.
With eager ears and light filled eyes small children cast their hearts and minds to the world of oral storytelling, allowing themselves to be immersed in lore and legend.
The stories my ancestors told around campfires were not fairy tales or fantasy words spun together simply to spend an evening with peaceful quiet children.
No, the stories we told around campfires, continue to tell around campfires and on country, are legends, lores and the way in which we owe the country as custodians.
Even now it is the most important form of which elders convince the younger generation to care. When elders tell stories they are convincing us with their utter existence that country is our soul and our spirit.
That in the lines on their weathered face and hands, we could trace paths similar to desert tracks, or in the grooves in sea worn stone.
The tone of their voice and the melody of their songs trace our entire ancestry, the same songs have left the lips of hundreds of mothers before them, and we are growing in this moment to understand that they will leave our lips one day for the future lineage.
In order to convince somebody to care that has to be a connection. To hear a parental figures' voice crack under the weight of the cruel mistreatment that they have endured. Is to be convinced your entire childhood is crumbling.
The innate human response to others' pain—written or told, is empathy, but the sheer gravity of seeing another human's pain, written on their body, in their voice, see it well up in their eyes. There is nothing that could convince someone to care more than that.
It is much more difficult to ignore somebody standing in front of you, begging you to care and to listen, than it is to simply close a book with the same message.
Oral storytelling is powerful and potent. It forces us to face our humanity and morals. It allows us to connect and care, and share with real human connection.
And most importantly it can convince the young to continue this culture that has existed for … 60,000 years.
Around campfires, in river valleys, on beaches, in communities. The stories told by elders continue convincing the young to be blak loud and proud, more than a white man's written word ever could. That is why Elders deserve the microphone. Because when they speak to the whole country—not just to us, but to all Australians—they can lead us to a better tomorrow.
Fair Work Amendment (Baby Priya's) Bill 2025
You cannot make parents feel better after a stillbirth or neonatal loss … But you can absolutely make it worse, and cancelling paid maternity leave is one of the ways that happens.
Parents deserve compassion and support during a time of unimaginable grief. No parent mourning the loss of a child should be forced back to work early or face financial strain.
I used to call her my 'fighter girl' and my 'super girl' when she was in the NICU, encouraging her through every challenge she faced and overcame, until she couldn't anymore.
Parents deserve compassion and support during a time of unimaginable grief. No parent mourning the loss of a child should be forced back to work early or face financial strain.
It seems unfathomable in Australia, in 2025, that this is even possible. And yet, here we are.
My baby's name means 'Beloved' in Sanskrit.
I was her mother for 42 days, and I am STILL her mother. It is in her name, as Priya's mother, that I will ensure no other Australian grieving a stillbirth, or infant death, has her paid Maternity Leave cancelled by her employer.
Parents should not have to deal with uncertainty about their employer-funded paid parental leave entitlements on top of their grief.
It is important that parents don't find themselves having to negotiate with their employers over their leave arrangements at such a difficult moment.
Australia has a patchwork of paid parental leave policies. Not all employers offer paid parental leave and they're not required to by law, which leaves parents solely reliant on workplace discretion.
Embedding compassion through major life events into workplace culture benefits everyone. Supporting parents through every stage—from fertility and pregnancy to childbirth, loss and the return to work—isn't just the right thing to do, it's vital for building thriving, sustainable workplaces.
I will never forget the moment my world shattered.
How can nature be so cruel? To allow me to birth death … to go through nearly 30 hours of labour and end with … my lifeless daughter.
Priya's name is going to be law. My fighter girl, my Priya, has changed the world.
