The 48th Parliament has officially opened in Canberra, with Kevin Hogan formally sworn in for another term as the Federal Member for Page.
As Parliament resumes this week, Mr Hogan said cost of living pressures remain front and centre
“Families and small businesses in our region are doing it tough under Labor, and it’s only getting worse. Every week I speak to people struggling with rising power bills, and the increased cost of living,” Mr Hogan said.
“The economy is stalling under Labor, and households are going backwards. Business investment is down, productivity has flatlined, and families are paying the price.”
“According to new data from Anglicare Australia, a single minimum‑wage worker has just $33 left per week after paying for essential costs like rent, food and transport. This is not good enough.”
“We have a great democracy in Australia. Elections are held peacefully, and results are respected – something we should never take for granted. That’s what gives us the platform to hold the Government to account and fight for the issues that matter to our community.”
