Cybersafety | MATTERS OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE
House of Representatives | 2 July 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (16:21): On 3 January 2018, Dolly Everett passed away at the age of 14. She was a young woman, a young lady, who had been bullied mercilessly. Sadly, she took her own life as a result of the bullying she encountered on social media. That […]
Cost of Living | ADJOURNMENT
House of Representatives | 1 July 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (19:40): The cost of living is affecting all Australians. For some, it’s a death by a thousand cuts. Rarely is it the cruelty of a single brutal decision that everyone could see and oppose. It’s the cruelty of endless poor decisions and bad policies, each […]
Health Insurance Amendment (Incentive Payments and Other Measures) Bill 2026 | Second Reading
House of Representatives | 1 July 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (18:32): This bill, the Health Insurance Amendment (Incentive Payments and Other Measures) Bill 2026, has a simple purpose, but it has a deeply uncomfortable story. The simple purpose is to establish a clear legislative framework for Commonwealth health incentive payment programs. They’re programs that have […]
Online Safety Amendment (Strengthening Enforcement for the Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2026 | Second Reading
House of Representatives | 30 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (17:45): Unfortunately, the Labor members have all just departed the chamber.

But the Online […]

Widows and Divorcees Taxes | STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS
House of Representatives | 30 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (13:42): Last night, Labor failed a very simple test. They had the opportunity to stand with Australians who’ve already endured some of life’s greatest challenges—widows, widowers, divorcees and families trying to rebuild after loss and hardship. Instead, Labor voted to increase their taxes. Can you […]
Tibet | CONSTITUENCY STATEMENTS
Federation Chamber | 29 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (10:36): I support the member for Macquarie’s words in relation to the Tibetan delegation who are here today.

Budget | ADJOURNMENT
House of Representatives | 25 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (16:49): This afternoon, we witnessed an appalling act of betrayal from this government on 28 million Australians. I think on the morning after the budget the vast majority of Australians woke up with buyer’s remorse, regretting the fact that they voted in an Anthony Albanese-led […]
Health Legislation Amendment (Improving Choice and Transparency for Private Health Consumers) Bill 2026 | SECOND READING
House of Representatives | 24 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (18:22): To hear those members opposite in 2026 constantly bang on about ‘Mediscare’ campaigns is really getting just a little bit beyond the pale. They tried it in all of the last few elections. I don’t know how many times I have to say this—in […]

House of Representatives | 24 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (12:26): I rise with great interest in the Workplace Relations Legislation Amendment (Building Cooperative Workplaces No. 1) Bill 2026, as someone who made a living out of the construction sector for 35-odd years before I came into this place, as a carpenter and joiner, as […]
