Federal Government Issues

As your local representative in the Australian Parliament, I am available to to help with information and advice about anything involving Federal Government. Federal Government issues include, but aren't limited to:

• Centrelink payments (including JobSeeker or Pensions)
• The NBN
• Immigration
• The Australian Tax Office (ATO)
• Medicare
• The Australian Election Commission (AEC)

If you need information or advice with any federal issues then please get in contact with me by calling 03 9545 6211 or emailing [email protected] 

Flag Requests

My office can supply eligible organisations with Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags.

To be eligible, you must be based in the electorate of Hotham and be a:

• School, local council, church or other non-profit or benevolent community organisation, association or group which have occasion to display the flag from flagpoles on their premises, or which display the flag on special occasions, or in halls or meeting rooms
• Community organisation, community clubs, RSL, or other community not-for-profit groups

Unfortunately, flags cannot be supplied to individuals. Each member of Parliament has a limited budget for the provision of flags and other nationhood material. Meeting the eligibility requirements does not guarantee that my office can provide your organisation with a flag.
