The community of Warrnambool and Port Fairy has made its position clear, we do not want an offshore wind farm placed right next to a whale breeding zone. This area is home to a whale species already on the extinction list and it must be protected, not industrialised. Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris…
It was a privilege to join our community in Allansford for the dedication of the Early Pregnancy Loss Memorial at Tooram Memorial Park. This thoughtful initiative, led by the Warrnambool Rotary and the Warrnambool Cemetery Trust, provides a peaceful space for families to grieve, reflect and remember those lost through early pregnancy. My heartfelt thanks…
The Albanese Labor Government’s plan to slash speed limits on rural roads in poor condition is an outrageous, lazy solution to a serious issue facing cars and trucks across the country. Labor Minister Catherine King is proposing reducing speed limits on dirt, gravel or sealed roads in need of repair, in response to the worsening…

Jim Chalmers has been forced into a humiliating backflip on his proposal to tax super unrealised gains, as his Prime Minister jetted off overseas leaving him holding the bag. This is a humiliating moment for the Treasurer who spent two years defending the indefensible—a policy so unfair it united people from all walks of life….
The Coalition Government secured $5 million to upgrade the Streatham-Eurambeen Glenelg Highway intersection, one of our region’s most dangerous. After long delays, work is finally underway thanks to this investment. This upgrade will make our roads safer and protect local communities.
