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.

Some thoughts on the Australian crisis.

Today's media cycle will be all about Tony Abbott's call for Australia to withdraw from the Paris emissions agreement. Cory Bernardi is the only Australian parliamentarian who has been consistent while the LNP tears itself apart trying to walk both sides of the politically correct fence.

Two former LNP parliamentarians have today intervened in the energy policy debate, criticising the Government and raising the stakes. This is serious stuff. Here's my response.

It's eight days since the LNP declared its policy was for a "future beyond coal". The continued confusing messages and big talk and no action from well-intentioned Coalition politicians has prompted me to release this statement. We simply have to get common sense back into the energy debate.

It's day seven since the LNP declared it was looking for a "future beyond coal". Meanwhile, tensions over coal within the Coalition in Canberra are rising. The Conservative Party is keeping up the pressure because abandoning coal means higher electricity prices, unreliable electricity and Queensland jobs moving off shore. Here's our latest media release.

It’s day six of the great coal rift in the Queensland Liberal National Party.

After another day of mixed messages from the Coalition on coal, I issued this media release this morning.
