The Beaufort community’s request is perfectly reasonable. They want a safe, accessible railway station that meets their needs. I stood up in Parliament to support their petition, but sadly, Labor refused to even let it be tabled.
An ABC Freedom of Information request has exposed the truth. 1,709 Victorians have lodged claims after hitting potholes and sustaining damage to their vehicles but the Victorian State Labor Government has only settled 23 of those claims. That’s a shocking 1.3%. Victorian drivers are paying the price for this neglect and deserve better. It’s time…
The Prime Minister went to the Bush Summit in Ballarat without taking on board the talking points I gave him in Parliament the week before. As a result, he was unprepared and farmers sent him packing in their tractors. When I asked him in Question Time why he was run out of town, he dodged…
The Prime Minister attended the Bush Summit in Ballarat on Friday. Many of my constituents made the trip to see him there so I took the opportunity to give him a heads-up in Parliament last week on the issues they’d be raising. ❓ What is the Government going to do to support farmers dealing with…
This week, I received a powerful message from Aden Gilding, a concerned resident of South West Victoria. His email paints a stark picture of the worsening drought gripping our region — and the toll it’s taking on our farmers. Many have been forced to truck in water, destock livestock, or abandon farms that have been…

This road is vital for locals, workers and key industries like dairy and timber. Yet despite the…
In Parliament this week, I reaffirmed my commitment to ensuring our rural and regional communities are not forgotten by the Albanese and Allan Labor Governments. Being in government is a privilege and it comes with the responsibility to govern for all Australians.
Another day, another letter to Premier Allan. The Princes Highway needs fixing—properly. Keep sharing photos of potholes with the hashtag #FixVicRoads and let’s get the message through.
18 June 2025 E&OE………………………………………………………………………………………………… Dan Tehan: It wasn’t the best run campaign that we’ve seen. As a matter of fact, a lot of people have said it’s one of the worst that they’ve seen. So I think we’ve all got to be prepared to provide feedback to make sure how we can do it better….
If you’re going to do a job, do it properly. The Victorian State Government was given $60 million to fix the Princes Highway West between Warrnambool and Port Fairy — but the section between Dennington and Illowa was not properly finished. That’s not good enough. Our community deserves better. That’s why I’m launching a campaign:…
