My Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Tackling the Gender Super Gap) Bill 2025 is being debated in the Senate this morning. Make sure you tune in.

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

Only a Labor government could come up with changes to the superannuation performance test as the key to unlock Australia’s economic growth. My thoughts here 👉 https://t.co/OmYuWFgk4E

[James Paterson @SenPaterson]

In a humiliating defeat, the Teal controlled Boroondara Council’s attempt to remove Liberal signs at the Kooyong prepoll has been rejected by the Supreme Court.

Australians are entitled to expect an efficient, effective public service that is focussed on delivering outcomes and meeting their needs. That is what a Dutton Coalition Government will deliver. Read our policy here: https://t.co/pV2MBLJhBJ

It was great to speak with 3117 Kooyong locals on a telephone town hall meeting tonight with Amelia Hamer and Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor, discussing the impacts of the record collapse in our standards of living.

People were very concerned about inflation, crime and housing.

Australians in Lebanon are once again being urged to take the first opportunity to leave. @dfat is working with airlines to assist Australians secure tickets on commercial flights.

Labor have spent more than $315bn since they came to Government. That’s $30,000 per Australian household.

That's not what the RBA wants to see.

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

The RBA just told my Cost of Living Inquiry they need to see softer spending growth in government before they can cut interest rates.

[Senator the Hon. Michaelia Cash @SenatorCash]

Really - Tony Burke has now realised how bad the CFMEU is?

This conduct has been going on for years and he knows it and yet scrapping the ABCC was the first order of business for Anthony Albanese and Tony Burke when Labor came to office.

Tony you are judged on your actions and they speak loudly.

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

Terribly saddened to hear of the passing of Les Twentyman. He was a true hero here in Victoria and he leaves behind an incredible legacy in the Les Twentman Foundation. My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

Congratulations @TimWilsonMP 👏

[Liberal Victoria @LiberalVictoria]

Congratulations to Tim Wilson who has been selected as the Liberal Party’s candidate for Goldstein for the next Federal Election.

If you don’t believe that threat needs to be addressed, you think we should support what Iran, Russia, Syria and the Taliban all voted for in the UN.

I am deeply saddened Zoe Daniel decided not to stand with Israel and our Jewish community.

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

Whilst unsurprising, this is very disappointing from Zoe Daniel.

A ceasefire will only keep Hamas in power, able to rearm, reorganise and repeat the deliberate murders, rapes, beheadings and kidnapping of innocent people.

[Simon Birmingham @Birmo]

The Australian Greens refused to condemn Hamas, encouraged people to the Sydney protest featuring vile antisemitism & now walk out of the Senate chanting Free Palestine.

Compare & contrast their reaction to Hamas barbarism with this powerful speech by a German Greens minister…

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

Seemed like a straightforward question… why won’t the Minister own up to this hypocrisy?

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

What an honour to work alongside the incomparable Marise Payne.

Grace and dignity, diligence and duty, courage and compassion.

An inspiration to so many women, our first female Defence Minister, and a forever friend.

Thank you for everything, Marise.

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

I established a Senate Inquiry into the cost of living crisis.

Its focus is hearing from you and developing real solutions.

Your stories can help others.

Last week a Government Minister admitted they blocked Qatar flights to protect Qantas profits, now they’re saying it was for a reason they’d previously said wasn’t the reason.

These stripsearches were appalling, but if they are the real reason for blocking Qatar, then why did the PM say this 8 days ago: “Qatar can fly into Adelaide, as many planes as they like, as big as they like.”

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

@AlboMP and @MadeleineMHKing still have questions to answer about why they made the decision and explan how it is in the national interest.

[Jane Hume @SenatorHume]

The Albanese Government’s decision to reject Qatar Airline’s request for more flights has been described as “deeply regrettable and a source of deep disappointment” and means less competition and higher fares according to evidence provided to the Cost of Living Committee today.
