Mark Coulton has served with conviction and never wavered in his beliefs. Our party and indeed our nation is better for having him and we thank Mark for his service.

Since 1950, the average nuclear reactor in the US has taken 8.1 years to build. In some places like the UAE, it’s even quicker. Minister Bowen knows this, he just doesn’t want you to.

On International Women’s Day, The Nationals have selected two strong women to represent our Party on the NSW Senate ticket.

Minister Bowen could stop the confusion and fears about the extent to which new cars purchase costs are going up by releasing the modelling #NVES #AusPol

The Labor Government plans to impose a tax on cars that emit too much carbon dioxide for their liking. This will add $9,000 to the cost of the most popular cars bought in Australia, including last year's most popular, the Ford Ranger.

.Senator Murray Watt continues to treat Australian farmers with contempt. Today in #estimates he’s refused to release the independent report into live sheep export and confirmed he has no idea when he’s going to end the trade.

New Closing Loopholes legislation is to be introduced to Parliament this week. It gives unions the right to enter farms unannounced and The Nationals will not be supporting it.

As families struggle to pay for their food, supermarkets are still making record profits. We need the ACCC to examine this.

Agritourism is a great way for farmers to diversify, attract new customers and provide a unique experience for tourists near and far.

#WaggaWagga ’s Bidgee Strawberries and Cream is a prime example of the success agritourism can bring.

The first 5,000 sheep have been shipped from Australia to a new market in Saudi Arabia. This proves the live sheep industry should not be phased out.

More Albanese Government confusion on international flights with media reports that Turkish Airlines have been granted extra flights. No official announcement & still no explanation why Qatar Airways was denied additional flights earlier this year.

Local governments, contractors, and communities have put everything on pause waiting for the 90-day Review to be released but instead they're getting drip fed projects by Minister King. It's time to come clean.
