Welcome

Welcome to my web site. It has been designed to provide residents with information about myself and the electorate of Fraser. You will also find information on other services available for constituents through my electorate office as well as copies of my media releases and speeches.

Under the link to Constituent Services I have included a form where you can submit your views and comments directly to me. I have also included copies of my mid year letter and annual report to residents in the Media and Speeches section.

I have included my Electorate Office contact details, should you or your family require assistance.

I hope you find my web site informative and easy to use and I welcome any comments you would like to make.

The Rudd Government's Economic Stimulus Plan - Delivering in Fraser

The seat of Fraser has benefitted from over $113 million in extra infrastructure spending thanks to the Rudd Government's Economic Stimulus Plan.

This funding is protecting local jobs today, and providing the educational and social infrastructure our community needs into the future.

Sticking to the Millennium Development Goals in the 2009 Budget

The Australian Government remains committed to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and their focus for international efforts to reduce global poverty by 2015.

This Budget saw us achieve a spending level 0.34% of our Gross National Income (GNI) on Official Development Assistance (ODI), underlining our continuing commitment to increase our ODI level to 0.5% of GNI by 2015-16.

What is significant about this year’s figure of 0.34% is that it is the highest level we have achieved since 1995-96 – the last of the Hawke-Keating period. It has taken us two Budgets to get Australia back to that level, and it underlines our resolve to reach our 0.5% commitment.

With the global economic recession forcing more people in developing countries into poverty, we are even more determined to redouble our efforts to help those in need.

When Australians see starving children on television, they are wonderfully generous people. We are almost the most generous people in the world in terms of our response in donations to international NGOs. If we are going to be generous in response to that crisis—and we are and we should be—surely it makes sense to try and stop the crises from occurring in the first place.

That is what our 0.5% commitment is about, and that is why I am very proud that this year’s Budget took us one step closer to reaching that target.
