Fantastic evening last night with Ministers Alan Tudge MP, Sussan Ley MP and Senator Michaelia Cash, as well as Senator David Van, speaking with over 4,000 Mornington Peninsula residents as part of a tele town hall.
Good to hear so many locals engaged on local issues like Jetty Road, Golf Links Drive, Point Nepean, improved mental health services across the Peninsula and new environment grants.

For those who didn't get to ask a question on what's happening locally, you can email me at greg.hunt.mp@aph.gov.au

Great to join health leaders from Stillbirth CRE, Sands Australia, Red Nose Australia, the Stillbirth Foundation and Still Aware at today's Stillbirth Roundtable.

What a fantastic morning for the official opening of the new Civic Reserve athletics track and soccer pitches with Debbie Flintoff-King and the Mornington Peninsula community.

This project would not have come together without the hard work of the Mornington Little Aths, Mount Martha Soccer Club, the Mornington Peninsula Shire and my friend and former colleague Chris Crewther. It has been a privilege to work with you all to secure $3 million in funds for this project.

Kelly is one of 86 Australians with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Because of a strong economy, the Morrison Government is able to list Blincyto on the PBS, taking the medication from $150,000 to as little as $6.50 for concessional patients.

Terrific to attend the Parliamentary Friends of Endometriosis event, to acknowledge the progress that has been made since the release of the National Action Plan, in July 2018.

To the organisations that support the 700,000 Australian women and girls that suffer from endometriosis, I thank you.

Together, we can ultimately find a cure.

Because of a strong economy, the Morrison Government can list life saving and life changing medications on the PBS. Medicines such as Keytruda for patients like Peter, who was able to walk his daughter down the aisle, as well as the 2,200 patients like him.

Thank you to Trent Zimmerman MP for your question and your work for your consituents in North Sydney.

Delighted to join the Mount Martha Bowls Club last weekend to open their upgraded centre green, funded in part by $25,000 from the Morrison Government.
Good to have a bowl as well, sadly my backhand draw needs a little work.
