Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy
I AM honoured to be appointed as Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy by the new Leader of the Opposition, Peter Dutton.
The role of an Opposition is to hold the Government to account and to provide alternative policies for the people of Australia. My approach to holding the Government to account will be simple – to be constructive where I can and critical where I must.
I look forward to working with my experienced colleagues who have also been asked to serve in the new Shadow Coalition Cabinet and the Leader of the Opposition to ensure the Government delivers the outcomes that Australians need and deserve into the future.
This is a challenging portfolio to tackle, and I’m looking forward to it.
Listening Tour
While it’s a privilege to have been re-elected as the Federal Member for Fairfax, I am also conscious that the Liberal-National Government lost office.
While there is no shortage of political commentary explaining the ‘why’ of the election result, I always prefer to hear personally from local constituents who I serve as Member for Fairfax.
That’s why I have been back on the road this week across the electorate on a listening tour to chat to local residents on the Federal issues important to them.
One of the objectives of this tour is to receive feedback on the election directly from local residents.
