Taxation | GRIEVANCE DEBATE
Federation Chamber | 23 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (13:08): We learnt this afternoon that the Labor Party and the Greens have done a grubby, dishonest, dirty deal with each other to get these tax changes through the parliament. If anybody needed any further proof of where this government is going, today is a classic […]

House of Representatives | 22 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (18:25): The coalition will support the passage of the Combatting Illicit Tobacco Bill 2026.

Budget and Taxes | STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS
House of Representatives | 22 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (13:39): Last week, Labor was forced into yet another backflip.

Federation Chamber | 22 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (11:25): The member for Macarthur was going so well until he started bagging the coalition out.

Federation Chamber | 2 June 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (19:11): Those members opposite talk about being the doyens of health care and about providing health services to Australians.

I like to think I know a little bit […]

House of Representatives | 28 May 2026 Mr WALLACE (Fisher) (16:01): I want to tell a little story about Dale and Tanya, who are local businesspeople in my electorate. They come from Wurtulla.
