Back in Parliament this week, scrutinising bills on child support, carbon credits and anti-doping in sport. I'll be moving amendments to strengthen protections against financial abuse in the child support system. Have your say: zali.steggall.mp@aph.gov.au
I call on One Nation to explain what happens to the businesses, industries and essential services that rely on these workers under its destructive and divisive migration plan.
This week I’ll be scrutinising: Carbon Credits Bill: Ensuring reforms strengthen integrity & support net zero targets. Private Health Bill: Concerned it could place additional pressure on the public health system. Illicit Tobacco Bill: We need to crack down on enforcement, not cut excise.
The Centre for Public Integrity’s new research paper should concern every Australian taxpayer. Public money must be allocated transparently, fairly and on merit, not according to political advantage. Australians deserve much better accountability for how their money is spent.
In Parliament, I’ll be focused on aged care, including a dedicated First Nations Aged Care Commissioner; a safe, properly funded early childhood education sector; and proposed changes to private health insurance rebates for Australians aged 65 and over.
Domestic violence is a national crisis, compounded by a housing crisis and a severe shortage of safe accommodation. Last financial year, Mary’s House had to turn away 176 referrals because there was simply no vacancy. The govt must properly fund frontline services.
Australia must deliver for our regional neighbours at the Pacific Islands Forum. The United Nations has warned that global warming is likely to exceed 1.5°C within the next few years, while stressing that the goal must not be abandoned
A win for clean energy. After sustained crossbench and industry pressure, the Govt has extended the 50% CGT concession for foreign renewable energy investment from 2030 to 2040, providing greater certainty for the investment Australia needs to reach net zero.
45 women and 19 children have been killed by violence this year. While we were in the chamber debating this motion, news broke of another alleged sexual assault of a girl by three teenage boys. Watch the full debate and read my SSO: www.zalisteggall.com.au/zali_steggal...
Coastal flooding is a growing climate risk for communities like ours. Rising seas, extreme rainfall and development are putting homes, infrastructure and insurance affordability under pressure. We need stronger national leadership and investment in resilience.
My submission calls for greater accountability, funded frontline & housing services, action on economic and systems abuse, better protection for children & migrant women, stronger perpetrator accountability & safer digital platforms. Read my full submission: www.zalisteggall.com.au/zali_steggal...
A key focus this week is Labor’s gambling reform bill. It addresses just 3 of the Murphy Review’s 31 recommendations, and CID debate may be capped at 2 hours. I’ll push for stronger reform, and move amendments. Have your say: 📩 zali.steggall.mp@aph.gov.au 🔗 zalisteggall.com.au/news
Evidence shows too many parents are being underpaid or receiving no child support at all, while some victim-survivors are pressured into arrangements that allow former partners to maintain financial control. Read the full article in @abcnews_au
Australia cannot wait like a sitting duck for the next Black Summer. We are among the world’s most fire-prone nations, and climate disasters already cost us $40 billion each year. We must cut emissions by accelerating renewables, storage and electrification, and ending reliance on coal, oil and gas.
Community Strong brings together independent voices who remain accountable to their communities, with the collaboration and infrastructure needed to deliver practical solutions. We keep our commitment to a free vote, putting our communities first on every decision, while working together.

Back in Parliament today, with key bills on the agenda. I’ll be speaking on Universities Accord, moving amendments to strengthen protections for NDIS participants, and closely examining the Government’s proposed changes to social media age ban enforcement. More updates: zalisteggall.com.au/news
A major win for small business after crossbench advocacy. The Govt will lift the small business CGT threshold from $2 million to $10 million, expanding access to existing concessions for around 2.7 million active small businesses.
