Front page of @westaustralian. Who will @ClareONeilMP point her finger at today? Fish … head … rot.

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

It is bitterly disappointing that the progress and momentum built under the Coalition’s Modern Manufacturing Strategy has been squandered by Labor. Not to mention the fact it’s yet another broken promise!

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

I have made a difficult decision not to re-contest the next. Read my statement here: https://t.co/JbFLrfPAeC

"Iran's abuse and torture of children as young as 12 is absolutely horrific, and this is something I hope is taken up globally as we have to make sure we're protecting children everywhere," Australian Shadow Minister for Home Affairs @karenandrewsmp told @IranIntl's @alirezambb.

Great to catch up with @HayleyFoster_ and Angela Lynch and discuss @FullStopAus trauma-informed phone counselling service funding and other issues to assist victim-survivors of domestic and family violence

After this week, we can only guess what Labor will do next with our Superannuation!

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

Going soft on foreign criminals is not in the national interest - and makes our community less safe.

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

Labor should protect Australian citizens and the people who live here and abide by our laws – instead of prioritising foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes.

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

Concerning reports that several boats have been intercepted in the last month heading to our shores from Indonesia. Official ABF reports have not been released but Labor’s policy of abolishing TPVs only weakens border protection and creates opportunities for people smugglers.

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

I’m saddened this morning to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague Jim Molan. He leaves behind a significant legacy of securing Australia’s borders as the co-author of Operation Sovereign Borders. My heartfelt condolences to Anne, his children and grandchildren.

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

Queenslanders have awoken to heartbreaking news of the tragic deaths of Constable Matthew Arnold and Constable Rachel McCrow, killed while serving our community. My condolences go out to their families and friends of the victims, and to their QPS colleagues.

Fiery exchange over Labor candidate’s fundraiser. This is the 6th fundraiser ⁦@andrewjgiles⁩ has done for ⁦@DanielAndrewsMP⁩ or maybe the 7th? https://t.co/y3FZmjHv1d

⚖️ NSW will become the first Australian state or territory with a stand-alone offence for #CoerciveControl, with historic and potentially life-saving law reforms passing Parliament today.

@MurrayWatt @BenFordhamLive You’ve seen the item listed in the March Budget papers? Your oversight gutted money from first responders and the PM fixed it for you last night.

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

BREAKING The Prime Minister has told @BenFordhamLive he has finally agreed to commit the full amount of funding to Fortem Australia as was Budgeted in March. Our emergency responders need the appropriate funding for mental health and wellbeing for all they do.
