I thought is was an April Fool’s Joke, but the AFP actually struck medals and handed them out for "service in response to Covid" So we handed out medals to police for harassing old ladies on park benches, forcing people to wear unless masks outside, and enforcing vaccine mandates thereby aiding & abetting abuses of human rights. Idi Amin would be proud. When do we start arresting politicians, police and bureaucrats for their human rights abuses during covid ?
In a few weeks, the Senate will vote on the ASIO Amendment Bill (No. 2)—and every Australian who values freedom under the law should be paying attention. This Bill doesn’t just extend extraordinary powers—it makes them permanent. Powers that were meant to expire by March 2027 would instead become ongoing. It expands compulsory questioning for adults and even minors, weakens safeguards, limits access to legal counsel, and lacks proper judicial oversight. These are not ordinary powers. They allow the state to compel answers under threat of penalty. That is a serious intrusion into personal liberty. Of course, national security matters—but it must never come at the unchecked expense of freedom. For these reasons, I will NOT be supporting this Bill.

Now more than ever, our relationships with our neighbours matter. Tonight I spoke with Premier Li Qiang of the People's Republic of China. We talked about the importance of energy security, and how we can work together for the benefit of our nations and our region. We will continue to engage in dialogue to maintain our stable and constructive relationship.
