“Orders of the day GOVERNMENT TAXES: Resumption of debate on the motion of Mr Kennedy—That this House: (1) condemns the Government for using sneaky and dishonest tactics to impose higher taxes on Australians, including new and increased taxes that make it harder for families, workers and small businesses to get ahead; (2) notes the Government's higher tax agenda is punishing aspiration, making it more difficult for Australians to build a business, invest, buy a home, save for retirement or create jobs; (3) calls out the Government for picking winners and losers in the economy, choosing which businesses are allowed to grow and pursue aspiration while making others carry the burden of higher taxes, more red tape and rising costs; (4) recognises the Opposition's tax plan is focused on lower, simpler and fairer taxes, rewarding hard work, backing small and family businesses, encouraging investment and helping Australians keep more of what they earn; and (5) calls on the Government to remove its harmful new taxes, abandon its higher tax agenda and deliver genuine tax relief that supports aspiration, enterprise and economic growth.”

“Items for Federation Chamber (4.45 pm to 7.30 pm) PRIVATE MEMBERS' BUSINESS Notices — continued 6 MR M SMITH: To move: That this House: (1) recognises the Government's national leadership in partnering with states and territories to strengthen the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system and help more Australians gain the skills they need for secure, well-paid jobs; (2) observes this partnership is already delivering results in Queensland, including almost 135,000 enrolments in Free TAFE and 2,000 construction apprentice sign-ups under the Small Business Apprenticeship Pilot Program; (3) notes that: (a) with up to $2.52 billion in Commonwealth funding being invested in Queensland over five years, this partnership is well-placed to deliver continued growth in training opportunities and outcomes; and (b) $85 million has already been delivered under Free TAFE, with a further $188 million in Commonwealth funding committed to Queensland over the next five years; (4) acknowledges these outcomes demonstrate the Government's commitment in delivering real benefits to Queenslanders; and (5) affirms that a strong, high-performing VET sector is critical to a fairer society and a more productive economy.”

“5 MR CONAGHAN: To move: That this House: (1) acknowledges that the Government is failing older Australians with the transition to the new Support at Home aged care program; (2) recognises the widespread criticism from providers, advocates, recipients and their families; (3) notes the: (a) algorithm in the integrated assessment tool is unfit for use and is putting vulnerable older Australians at risk, and is: (i) producing questionable assessment outcomes such as assigning lower levels of support than needed, including high-needs people, or assessments of ineligibility where there is an obvious need for funding; (ii) being too rigid, with little or no capacity for assessors to override the results despite clear care needs; and (iii) resulting in disputes, reassessments and review processes further delaying access to care; and (b) lack of adequate funding in the 2026-27 budget for additional Support at Home packages to address the long wait times for assessments, approvals and service commencement, which have resulted in unmet care needs for over 200,000 older Australians; (4) further acknowledges concerns that 60 per cent interim funding arrangements are leaving recipients on partial funding for months and months, with limited access to essential services and adequate supports during the transition period; (5) further recognises that the removal of regional loadings and rigid pricing structures may reduce provider viability and limit availability of services in rural, regional and remote communities; and (6) calls on the Government to: (a) increase the number of packages and reduce waiting times for assessments and approvals; (b) implement oversight, clinical input, and review mechanisms in the integrated assessment tool; and (c) treat older Australians with the dignity and respect they deserve.”

“[Minimum number of proposed Members speaking = 5 x 5 mins] The Committee determined that consideration of this matter should continue on a future day. 4 MS AMBIHAIPAHAR: To move: That this House: (1) commends the Government for locking in the 15 per cent pay rise for early childhood educators, investing a further $3.6 billion over the next two years; (2) recognises that this will benefit more than 200,000 educators, who had been undervalued for too long, and the families and children who rely on them every day; (3) acknowledges that, combined with minimum wage increases, a typical full-time educator will earn around $255 a week more since the Government's first pay-rise, and an early childhood teacher around $410 a week more; (4) welcomes investment that helps keep early learning both affordable and safe, by linking services funding eligibility to a cap on fee increases and a requirement to meet the national safety standard; and (5) further commends the Government for: (a) valuing early educators who do some of the most important work in the country; (b) helping both workers and families with the cost of living; and (c) building the early education system children deserve.”

“2 MS K COOK: To move: That this House: (1) notes that: (a) from 1 July 2026, families will be eligible to receive 130 days of Parental Leave Pay, an increase from the current 120 days; (b) from 1 July 2025, eligible parents receiving Parental Leave Pay also receive superannuation contributions, helping to close the gender gap in retirement savings; and (c) women continue to retire with significantly less superannuation than men, in part due to time taken out of the workforce for caring responsibilities; (2) commends the Government for expanding Parental Leave Pay and introducing superannuation on Parental Leave Pay, recognising both as landmark steps toward gender equity in the workplace and in retirement; and (3) recognises that sharing parental leave more equally between mothers and fathers supports women's workforce participation, promotes gender equity, and benefits Australian families and the broader economy, and (4) supports the Government as it continues to build a world-class paid parental leave scheme that values the work of caring, supports working families, and advances gender equality for all Australians.”

“Items for Federation Chamber (11 am to 1.30 pm) PRIVATE MEMBERS' BUSINESS Notices 1 DR SCAMPS: To move: That this House: (1) notes that: (a) Australia is among the highest producers of single-use plastic waste per capita in the world; (b) the majority of plastic waste is sent to landfill, causing environmental and public health harm; (c) there are growing concerns about the health impacts of plastics, including microplastics and associated toxins; (d) existing voluntary approaches have failed to meaningfully reduce plastic waste or ensure producer accountability for packaging; (e) there is broad support for a national, mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for plastics and packaging to require producers to take responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products, including from industry, environmental stakeholders and the public; and (f) multiple Parliamentary inquiry reports have recommended the Government establish a stronger or nationally legislated EPR scheme for plastics and packaging, including the: (i) Impact of microplastics and other toxics on human health report (2026); (ii) No Time To Waste report (2025); and (iii) Drowning in Waste report (2024); and (2) calls on the Government, as a matter of urgency, to make rules under the Recycling and Waste Reduction Act 2020 to establish a mandatory, national EPR scheme for plastics, which would include: (a) binding targets for waste reduction, reuse, recycling and recycled content; (b) eco-modulated fees based on material type and volume; (c) a producer-funded soft plastics scheme; (d) bans on harmful materials and chemicals in plastics; and (e) independent enforcement mechanisms to monitor compliance and impose penalties for non-compliance.”
