URUNGA MOBILE OFFICE IN FULL SWING
Great to be at C.ex Urunga today for my mobile office. Here until 2pm.
What an absolutely spectacular day with one of the best views in the electorate.
If you are in the area, pop down and have a chat. I'm here to listen and here to help.

Pat it is hard to connect when your mobile office is not widely advertised. It is a good idea but when you see it after the event it is a non event.
Mr Hendrick Fridlington platform is amazing! His trading guidance is life-changing, bringing growth far beyond salary/savings—imagine £15,000 weekly from just £1000 invested. Grateful, always ready to help.
Sorry we couldnt make it today Pat.
Any chance in the future of u providing some of our taxes for projects. Nothing so far .. look forward ..👍
Good morning sir
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
One of the best parts of my job is being able to recognise the service and achievements of our wonderful community members.
Today, I presented a 'Grateful Nation' certificate to David Howard Bird in recognition of his service during the Vietnam War. I would have loved to have been able to present this to David at the Coffs Vietnam Veterans Day service but unfortunately was away in Canberra.
David was a Soldier in the 1st Field Regiment and officially served overseas from 18 September 1966 to 10 June 1967 – a total of 266 days.
So to David, thank you for your service. Thank you for answering the call and representing our nation with hono#thankyouforyourservicee#agratefulnationexpressesitsthanksthanks

GREAT TO BE HOME! 🥰🐾
Nothing better than coming home after a long 2 weeks away in Canberra to a warm welcome from my beautiful wife Ilona and our two excitable pups.
Looking forward to some recalibration time before hitting the road around our beautiful electorate next week.

We love a waggly tail…
Nothing better indeed Pat, look at those little tails of excitement 🥰
Pups can't call your kids pups there growing young men
They are always our fur babies when we come home even if they are laying next to you on the lounge and do a smelly sneaky fluff 💕
One very excited doggie.
Have a bit of a rest mate, time to de BS. Cheers
My heart just melted

MAYOR LEE IN THE HOUSE TO PITCH FOR VALLA DEVELOPMENT FUNDING
Great to have Nambucca Valley Shire Mayor Gary Lee in Parliament House today to discuss the impressive potential of the Valla Urban Growth Area and make a pitch for funding consideration.
A big 'thank you' to Minister for Regional Development Kristy McBain for taking the time to see us today, and to my colleagues Senator Matthew Canavan and Jamie Chaffey MP for your support.
Projects like the Valla Urban Growth Area are crucial not only for our region's continued economic growth, but also in solving Australia's housing supply issues.

Growth is good Pat, as long as the infastructure grows along with it at the same rate. Valla residents would no doubt need to attend Hospitals and need specialists at some stage and atm the Coffs Harbour and Macksville hospital both are struggling to cater for the existing population. Coffs has new residential subdivisions expanding along the northern coastal area and further residential development at Valla will bring even more people needing services. Let's hope the Partys don't continually put the cart before the horse.
The demographics would suggest that it would most likely be retirees moving to the area. Our local hospitals are already at full stretch, which health facilities will all these new people to our community be utilising Pat Conaghan MP?
TRILLION DOLLAR TREASURER
We hear a lot from Labor about their prioritisation of 'youth' and the next generation, but ultimately they are leaving our country's young people holding the bag with our national debt officially reaching one TRILLION dollars today.
Every minute, Australians now pay $52,682 in interest on Labor’s debt. EVERY SINGLE MINUTE. Imagine what that money could be spent on?
Major infrastructure upgrades, roads, housing, nurses, doctors, aged care packages... But instead its dead money that only compounds year on year.
This is not a first that any treasurer should be proud of. But it's not a surprise from a treasurer and prime minister focussed on Big Government agen#trilliondollartreasurera#NationalDebta#Laborfailsr#notafirsttobeproudofroudof
Spot on mate.
I heard they learnt from the best!

Care to comment on this?
Debt increase yearly in Billions From Labor $42.81 2026 $21.70 2025 $17.15 2024 -$5.46 2023 so while labor has been paying for AUKUS, refunding the French for the sub fiasco, funding the snowy 2.0 blowout and the energy transition and rebuilding the public service and medicare and the Armed forces their debt increases are lower than the LNP in government while the LNP were underfunding medicare and the public service and not investing in anything were did they spend all those billions that increased debt levels excluding the Covid 2 years of course · Fiscal year (30 June) Gross debt (A$ billion) Debt ceiling (A$ billion) Debt as share of GDP 2026 971.447 —N/a 32.7%[a] 2025 928.639 —N/a 33.4% 2024 906.939 —N/a 33.8% 2023 889.790 —N/a 34.5% 2022 895.253 —N/a 38.3% LNP DEBT 2021 816.991 —N/a 39.1% 2020 684.298 —N/a 34.4% 2019 541.992 —N/a 27.7% 2018 531.937 —N/a 28.8% 2017 500.979 —N/a 28.4% 2016 420.420 —N/a 25.3% 2015 368.738 —N/a 22.6% 2014 319.487 —N/a 19.9%
If anyone has been on Facebook you have probably seen a series of Liberal politicians so very sad that Australia's debt now exceeds 1 trillion dollars (and once again, it's all Labor's fault). As a % of GDP it's been about the same (or dropping) dropping since 2022. Thanks Labor. These scare tactics work. There are reasons, such as the GFC and COVID to spend more, but when most of the Debt occured under the liberals it's hard to watch them spin it as a Labor problem. And big numbers are scary, but it's lower (or much lower) than a host of other modern countries. It's fine to be concerned, but not fine to believe politicians without checking yourself. They care more about being reelected than offering any nuanced Truth.

Haha nothing to do with the previous government? Scomo and AUKUS? 🤔
Adopt a Switzerland system
The actual truth of the matter thanks to The Gherk. National debt over the last 20 years with the Coalition in power in blue and Labor in red. Not exactly consistent with the narrative coming out of the Coalition. Be honest Pat Conoghan and own your debt!
And they are out today saying it was inherited again
Ahem.
Shame on Labour, John Howard had a healthy Surplus, Labour has spent Surplus and put us in Debt. Feeling so sorry for our Younger Generation.
WELCOME, HUNTER!
Great to be able to ‘formally’ welcome Hunter Davis on the floor of Parliament today. Hunter is our passionate Youth Member for Cowper and is here in Parliament this week as part of the National Youth Parliament program.
I’ve just heard his speech as well, and it was fantastic! Well done, Hunter. Great to have you here and I’m sure it will not be the last time #YouthLeadershipa#RegionalRepresentation #NationalYouthParliament##CowperProudh#patinparliamenterproud #patinparliament
