Thanks for visiting my web site and for giving me the opportunity to represent the residents of Ipswich, the Somerset Region,and the Karana Downs region in Federal Parliament.
I am a proud local - I was born here and have lived here all my life. My wife and I have raised our two girls in this great region.
As your local Member of Parliament I’m here to assist you in whatever way I can with federal issues.
As a part of the Labor team I’m all about putting people first – ensuring you have affordable health care, that our kids have the same access to a quality education, and that locals get a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work.
On this web page you will find information about these important issues as well as media, speeches, petitions and opportunities to get involved.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for please drop me a line via the Contact page.
