Tens of thousands of new job opportunities will be created for apprentices and trainees across Australia with the expansion of the targeted wage subsidy program as part of the Morrison Government’s National Economic Recovery Plan. The Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements wage subsidy program is fully subscribed, helping to create 100,000 apprenticeships in less than five months.…
I’m very happy to speak about the government’s great achievements on the NBN. After all, when this government came to office, we had the task of fixing Labor’s NBN mess, and what a mess it was! Labor had a gold plated approach which would have cost billions of dollars more and left millions of Australians…
Mr HAMILTON (Groom) (18:43): I rise to support Australian industry, particularly locally-made and locallyowned goods. Of course, I’m not a protectionist and I believe Australian goods must compete internationally. Indeed, it is the weight of competition that, when lifted repeatedly, grows strength in our products and expands our capacity as a producing nation. However, as…
I rise to acknowledge all of the Australia Day 2021 award recipients and those acknowledged across the Toowoomba region.

The Premier floated this idea at a press conference on 22 January 2021, in what now seems a desperate attempt to find…
I am honoured to represent the good people of Groom. It’s a place of strong community values that is proud both of its ambitions for the future and of its history. My own family’s history is but a small part of the great Australian journey, and I stand before you as both a proud citizen…
Over the course of the last 24 hours, I have received multiple requests from the media to comment on Premier Palaszczuk’s Toowoomba quarantine thought bubble. According to the Premier, further correspondence has been sent, in relation to her idea. Until such a time that the Premier can show the community a detailed plan for how…
Federal Member for Groom, Garth Hamilton is calling on Premier Palaszczuk to outline her detailed plan for the proposed Toowoomba quarantine facility, following reports a proposal had been submitted.
