STOP THE DATA CENTRE INVASION!

In Parliament I stood up against the massive data centre invasion threatening our regional communities!

The Tech Billionaires think our country communities are fair game and Parliament is asleep at the wheel

Firmus wants to drop a colossal data centre out at Stubbo, near Gulgong, that will devour enough electricity to power hundreds of thousands of homes.

But, the unanswered questions just keep piling up:

ZERO answers on water supply
ZERO protection for productive farmland
ZERO protection for the environment, public safety and privacy
ZERO say for local country communities!

While the Tech Bros roll in it, these mega-projects threaten our way of life and risk driving up power and water bills.

That's why I've introduced my AI Kill Switch and Data Centre Control Bill.

We need an immediate halt and ban on these unregulated data centres until our laws catch up!

Parliament needs to wake up and act before it's too late.

MACKILLOP COLLEGE PRESENTATION DAY!

It was a wonderful pleasure to attend the 2026 Presentation Day for MacKillop College, in Bathurst recently.

The College has had another amazing year, and it was a privilege to join the community in celebrating the incredible achievements of its talented, hard-working, and compassionate students.

A big thank you to Principal Mr Peter Halpin and all the staff for their outstanding dedication to this caring and supportive school community.

Congratulations and thank you also to outgoing Captain Sarah Wong and Vice Captains Eloise Abercrombie and Amber Mutton for their exceptional leadership, commitment, and school spirit throughout 2026!

Best of luck to all graduating Year 12 students as you embark on your next exciting chapter!
