Tax reform will inevitably either be a part of one or both of those scenarios.
In the meantime, do not get carried away by Bill Shorten and the Labor Party’s scare campaign.
The Coalition will do the right thing by the country when it comes to making decisions around tax reform.
If you’d like to share your thoughts please contact my office.
Organ donation
LAST week the federal government announced people in Calare would soon be able to register online as organ donors.
The Coalition remain committed to increasing organ donation and transplantation with only seven per cent of Australians registered as organ donors.
A further 4.3 million have, at some stage, signaled intent to become a donor but have not completed the paperwork required under the current system.
Almost all Australians would like to be able to receive a donated organ if it was required to save their life, yet just 1.8 million of 24 million Australians are registered organ donors.
As of May, registering to become an organ donor will be a one-step, online process, able to be completed in less than 10 minutes - no paperwork necessary
Safer Internet Day 2016
THIS week we celebrate Safer Internet Day to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially among children and young people.
The Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner is running a virtual classroom presentation teaching children how to explore the internet safely.
The initiative aims to help students understand the possible consequences of posting images online, communicating online respectfully and understanding how to report inappropriate material and content online.
It’s an opportunity to remind all Australians about the importance of being vigilant when surfing the internet.
