Yesterday Joanna Lindgren, one of my Senate running mates, and I addressed a gathering of 70 Conservative Party supporters at the Kenmore Hotel in Brisbane. We spoke of why Australia needs a better way and how genuine Conservatives in the Senate can be a force for good. Here is The Brisbane Times' coverage of our speeches. You can read the full text of my address below.

Senator Fraser Anning has called for a return to a European only or white Australia immigration policy. This is wrong. Sadly necessary efforts to call out African gang violence in Victoria have become confused. The Greens were at it again last week, proposing to make it illegal to mine thermal coal in Queensland's Galillee Basin. Calls to test pills (aka dangerous drugs) will only make young people think illegal drugs can be safe.

If they are not stopped, the Greens will destroy our economy. 

We should not green light the taking of illegal drugs.

This week I look at the federal Labor conference just held in Adelaide and explain why Labor will take Australia further to the Green-Left. Also, I provide some commentary on the UN's climate summit in Katowice, Poland, and explain why the Morrison government will not be allowed to get away with stopping at Paris.

Support like this is precious.

The Greens lead, Labor and the LNP follow. The Greens must be stopped.

Scott Morrison will take a proposal for a religious freedom act to the next election. Could this be our last call for liberty?

Did same-sex marriage activists lie about freedom of religion to win the plebiscite? Also, what on earth is Australia doing at the Poland climate change summit?

I examine the fall-out of the Victorian election for conservatives, the Greens attempts to kill coal and the stolen gender generation in Tasmania.
