Welcome

It is my great privilege to represent the people of Monash in the Parliament of Australia. Our local area is a great place to live, work and raise a family and I work to ensure it continues to be an even better place for us all.

In addition to serving our Monash community, I am a vocal advocate for a just and compassionate society with a focus on: a fair and sustainable NDIS, care and dignity for our elders and their carers, respect for women, flexibility and support for small businesses and the humane treatment of refugees.

Keeping in touch with your views and opinions helps me to represent you and I encourage your regular feedback. Please take the time to complete my survey and you can also subscribe to my mailing list to receive regular updates.

Warm regards,
Meet Russell

‘Universal childcare’ sounds pretty reasonable, doesn’t it?

It implies that childcare will be fair, accessible, and the right decision for every family.

But when I peeled back the layers of this policy, I noticed a few red flags.

I'd rather stay home with my bub but can't afford to. Not only that but I will be paying $150 a day for someone else to look after my child with no rebates. 🙄

The only people who benifit from Labor handout policies are the unions and labor "stakeholders" & politicians.

Universal childcare is an abhorrent concept. Imagine having children and getting complete strangers to raise them 😵‍💫 If the "government" wanted to indoctrinate an entire generation what would they propose differently to universal childcare? We need a return to when a single income could support a family. Who started and funded the feminist movement and who benefited? Income tax was doubled in a generation and now kids come home from childcare/school thinking they're a furry...and it's all by design

'[Australia] cannot make a lightbulb...we cannot make a razor blade... 90% of our prescription medicines are imported...we can’t make enough saline...we cannot even make a tin can for baked beans!'

Make time to hear Matt Barrie explain the inexplicable...

Local sporting groups are essential to the physical and social wellbeing of our community of all ages.

The recipients include:

- Drouin Hawks Netball Club for court floodlights: $222,000

Congratulations to these groups, and I wish them well in fulfilling their essential role in regional communities.
