Michelle Landr is a fabulous member of Parliament. She is a true representative of that community. She's a classic middle-of-the-road Australian who represents the interests of her community with passion and with a lot of common sense.

I think it would be frankly a retrograde thing for Pauline Hanson to be elected to the Senate.

The tyranny of distance is such an important element of policy and the allocation of resources.

She is not being preferenced - she's not on our preference card because Pauline Hanson's view of Australia is basically a very - it's a very old view.

I joined the Young Liberals when I was 16 and it was a good way for me to understand how the Liberal Party worked and to learn basic political skills and techniques.

Capricornia is one of the most marginal seats in the country. So naturally the electoral battle is fought in the marginal seats.

As a Liberal of course I am very strongly committed to the notion of artistic freedom and very hostile to the idea of there being a single view of cultural policy dictated from on high.
