Environment and Food Production Areas Bill
This Bill is part of a broader, coordinated effort to prepare South Australia for the future. By ensuring our planning system is responsive, our housing supply is sustainable, our heritage is preserved, and our infrastructure is strategically developed, we are protecting what makes our communities unique while ensuring they remain vibrant and liveable for generations to come.

Remembrance Day
On Remembrance Day, we remember all the brave men and women who, many years ago and still today, have stood up to protect our country and the people we love. These are soldiers, sailors, aviators, nurses, and other helpers who worked hard and, sometimes, gave their lives to keep us safe and free.

Victim Impact Statements Bill
A Victim Impact Statement can help the court understand how a crime has affected the victim and may be considered by the judge or magistrate as they determine the penalty to be given to the offender. In my work as a mediator, I frequently witnessed the restorative value of finally just being heard.

Children and Young People (Safety and Support) Bill
As a parent myself and probably just like any other member of society, frankly, we are all devastated whenever we hear of the neglect or harm inflicted on a child by people who are supposed to provide a loving and safe environment for their child to grow and thrive. This Bill has been designed to create a legislative foundation and framework for profound and significant change. Change that ensures that the child protection system has at its core a focus on the safety and support of the child, while of course retaining that which is working well.


World Teachers Day
My electorate has many excellent schools, both public and private such as East Adelaide, Norwood Primary, and Trinity Gardens Schools, Prince Alfred College and St Peters College, and just outside my electorate, but for which the catchment is largely in my electorate, the outstanding Marryatville High School. Teachers are the often the unsung heroes who inspire enthusiasm and curiosity, foster creativity, and instil a love of learning that can last a lifetime. Teachers are essential in ensuring that every child is given the best possible chance to fulfill their dreams and aspirations.






Local Icon: Rising Sun
As we raise a figurative glass to the Rising Sun Inn, let us celebrate all that it represents—craftsmanship, community, heritage and continuity, and the joy of gathering together. May it stand for 180 years more, with patrons warmed by its fireplaces with a delicious glass of red, filled with conversation, and cherished as one of the great survivors of South Australian history.

AFL Gather Round Statement
This is exactly the kind of smart strategic investment that supports local jobs, energises small business and strengthens South Australia's reputation as a destination for world-class events.

Plastic Shopping Bags (Waste Avoidance) Repeal Bill
The final stage will be this year when as of 1 September 2025, plastic fruit stickers, plastic soy sauce fish and prepackaged and attached products such as products that contain plastic straws or cutlery will be phased out. I have to say I personally will be thrilled when an alternative is found to those little fruit and veg stickers which I am a bit obsessed with picking off fruit and veg as soon as I buy it. Of course, in undertaking this exercise in bringing our use of single-use plastics into the modern age, extensive consultation was carried out, including with specific stakeholders expected to be directly impacted by the amendment regulations and the South Australian public with the overwhelming number of respondents expressing their strong support, including that of business owners.

Passenger Transport (Point to Point Transport Services) Amendment Bill
The reforms before us today are not just about updating regulations, they are about ensuring every South Australian has access to reliable, safe and efficient transport services. They are about supporting an industry through necessary change while protecting the interests of vulnerable consumers. I commend this bill to the house.

ICAC (Conditions of Appointment - Integrity Measures) Amendment Bill
This legislation sends a clear message: we value the independence and integrity of our anti-corruption commission. By ensuring appropriate remuneration and security for those who take on this crucial role, we strengthen the commission's ability to serve the people of South Australia without fear or favour. The appointment of Commissioner Townsend marks a new chapter in South Australia's fight against corruption. This bill ensures she and all future commissioners can fulfil their duties with the same independence and security as their predecessors.

Statutes Amendment (Heritage) Bill
One of the most important aspects of this legislation is the mandatory public consultation period. Every South Australian deserves a voice in decisions that affect our shared heritage. This is not just about procedure. It is about recognising that our heritage belongs to all of us. Public consultation has already proved invaluable in other heritage matters, such as the provisional entry of places into the Heritage Register. It often brings to light historical information, community connections and cultural values that might otherwise have been overlooked.

Select Committee on Endometriosis
The committee has put forward a number of recommendations to improve the way we diagnose, treat and manage endometriosis in South Australia. We need to tackle the long delays in diagnosis. We need to support the professionals already providing dedicated and effective multidisciplinary care, where general practitioners work alongside specialists, nurses and allied health professionals. We need to ensure we provide the framework that enables the sorely needed additional dedicated multidisciplinary endometriosis clinics, particularly in public hospitals.

Supply Bill 2025
Supply means communities like Dunstan—vibrant, engaged and full of potential—continue to receive the support they deserve. I want to thank the teachers, nurses, paramedics, public servants, construction workers, carers, small business owners and all those who keep our state running. The Supply Bill is about making sure they can continue to do their work without disruption and with the backing of the parliament.
