I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Katie, former Liberal Member for Higgins and I extend my heartfelt condolences to her beloved family, friends and all who loved her.
Katie was a trailblazer in every sense. She did things differently and she did them her way. You only had to be in a room with her to feel her passion. Passion for women, for medicine, for education, for the Liberal Party, and above all for people who needed a helping hand.
As colleagues in the Liberal Party and in the parliament, I knew Katie as someone of exceptional intellect, courage and warmth. She cared deeply about public service and never lost sight of the human consequences of political decisions. She believed in service, responsibility and in contributing to something larger than herself.
I remember so clearly her campaign for Chisholm, fought with determination and energy even while she was battling ill health - something none of us fully understood at the time. She blazed with the same fire she showed in the federal parliament, standing up for her community with strength and conviction. Her bravery was remarkable.
Katie brought professional excellence and deep compassion to everything she did as a doctor, an academic and a parliamentarian. She was the smartest of colleagues, the kindest of friends, and an extraordinary wife and mother. Her beautiful family were the humanity that shone through everything she did.
Katie will be remembered with deep affection and respect by her colleagues and by all who had the privilege of working alongside her. She leaves a lasting legacy of service, courage and care for others. She will be deeply missed.

In 1975, after three years of economic mismanagement and chaos, an overwhelming majority of Australians voted to turn on the lights and elect a Liberal government.
Labor has been forced to backflip on super taxes that would have stung small businesses and captured average workers.
Labor can’t manage money. They can’t be trusted with yours.
Albanese on the returning ISIS brides: "The Australian government is not providing assistance to this cohort."
REVEALED: The government did assist ISIS brides and their children with:
Medical Interviews✅
Citizenship papers✅
Passports✅
This is secrecy at the expense of community safety.

Under Labor, Australia has had the biggest surge in population since World War II, while housing construction has collapsed. That’s why housing is unaffordable.
Labor’s record speaks for itself…
2022: Promised $275 off power bills✂️
2025: Power bills up to $1,300 higher than promised📈
NOW: Can't say when power bills will come down!🤥
Today is a test on tax for the Treasurer.
This govt has added $100b to the national debt. We’ll hit $1t in debt this year and $1.2t by the next election. And the Treasurer is planning 11 deficits in a row.
Will he use this roundtable to stop the spending spree or to hike taxes?
The Coalition backed the government’s child care laws but they don’t go far enough.
We’re calling for 3 urgent reforms:
National Working with Children Check
Register of early childhood workers
Phone ban in centres
Our kids deserve real protection.
“...the budget will need…additional revenue and spending reductions”
FACT: Since coming to government, Labor has racked up an extraordinary $144 billion in new spending decisions.
“The 1.2 million homes target will not be met”
FACT: To meet their target Australia needs to be building 250,000 new dwellings each year. Under Labor, it’s barely reaching 170,000.
