July was certainly an exceptional month!

It started with the first anniversary of the Australian Space Agency [[link removed]], and was marked by a number of special events to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing [[link removed]]. For a confessed space junkie like me, it was awesome to be part of the commemorations at the Parkes Radio Telescope [[link removed][0]=68.ARDrzG0sIsdrmLWOXRMe99RrKMlicAHGT2Vnf9WVZUa2YxrYPOKSlAIp3SBy6L-mWfEGKK2PCDbMIZ4VqGwBt6Hv5fB8Rsb_mc41n3gAWqXaZI6a8WQ9cqg0M1rFCyTU9aJW8atKCBy9SFCUUC3psLP5GJ0WzkYXqHwwJYtmOAZqRmxkZxbpenBRE7q0KCHCLNAj6Vxuo_CUrlToz4MC7xQyXuYE3IDhKVoKT_7SaRvEuWQ99CoQs-CB3_yVFuwdI9xYEPv5QQSA3Zr04RH2mOGkrx_atlTXmCnv1fGEt-K5yhqyZje5ZF334OzLd1LU9p6yFyAOMjzixnkhmfXZZRi-5g&__tn__=-R], to answer a question in Parliament [[link removed]]and to publish a piece on the significance of the event [[link removed]].

Of course, this month also saw the opening of the 46th Parliament and the official swearing-in [[link removed][0]=68.ARB32PsLLMGh5wlZMTMqTJk45tiojdOj_84kAjgQJCRnCbiHQzSJbQM0ZNqthlCOtU2bl4w-0ruD22SrgVn_JKLIIS9gji8wPSOLGXbqtj6GI6_op5nTMZOYbJnrJCmyNkHJHo1DWL8gNbLOIGDUNc1hZL_gb2YpcPgXcLc8DPX6DVrgZZ5ORFjHVwtsMsTYeezxj9SyZkENf3fGgVfWPVTpfmnVd7o605-XCNKC7Mk7sc6k7zeZJUlWx0aV7V1bj67fqbu51LiOfVRaxPf8nddT-woz-wjLIFGBYT1bmTwphFMbDAZW55K6qGFSz-gIKUaQ7Tn3DC2rm2z0wy-5nOXvdA&__tn__=-R] of all members of the Morrison Government. The first order of business was to pass our promised tax cuts [[link removed]] - which are being delivered in full!

As part of the Address-in-Reply to the Governor General [[link removed]], I had the opportunity to talk about the great honour it is to hold the key economic portfolio of Industry, Science & Technology and to thank the people of McPherson [[link removed]], and especially the many locals who worked hard throughout the recent campaign.

I was also pleased to welcome both the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Michaelia Cash to McPherson. As well as local media interviews we had announcements on the M1 upgrade progress [[link removed][0]=68.ARAjcoU7wygRL92NRWwoe9RAfRYY0xrAy58HtFFNnd31lh1QNAzuiX0DdrMg0g73rGp5l_KFteI_LLf_16xOZUNlbUPVBV_IkObDSobxwORdQY6zEwOy6BxYg2M-d9MCFt3_mQnYTJ87T9pJKCts67P9ZKyN7tDqGN9O5D80FIUHdPb_7C0RkyDgZ7gTuOi1P1Fj85Skg7kIdndalWU_ruoPD27MdeoijTOG8QM7L2nHeBF-tU-bUpLGGrfBhJEh6sJvmXpm1oap8DbS1Irxeca4zGcdor3Au_Hb6I-P6uTfosNRXUmPFHTrU1TdSsGDP3tFDZ_m8yw5BlJZqM3W3uoNqA&__tn__=-R], and visited a local business to discuss apprenticeships [[link removed][0]=68.ARBixqBN745qIQ73NeWV81t_bhympjYhYJ7YLxMD4OxNmI4EsRbiqR9pkBMK8lLR-vqrLlo7jxdJCgEgwG-A7c_kD-y51OdKsnZYLk76qQhL1MK2hzEqN6zjpbFb6Gx_xRm4thHeP59xIrwJ2i31au48jvuztwE23KBAfCkWrvLNW7dGdeK15bjp2mXvmCVWCnWXI6GIte8vNFyJTpE-NZzDVCio9hpzo1IJUErL3ampALuinVQyasBVy9Lh7a-Tsc8ResKixUN4VL5QBNP4KfMZ92jxQgK_QEOzNZ5ye-HIIvK4DXDAcBeAHaWLq-VZoseY4iiups6NkMGnHG_l04dInw&__tn__=-R].

I also chaired a successful Building Minister's Forum in Sydney [[link removed]]with my State and Territory counterparts and achieved the outcome of a unified national approach to restoring Building Confidence.

Finally, if you're part of one of our wonderful local school communities - please encourage your school to apply for funding under our new Local Schools Community Fund [[link removed]]. It's a great opportunity to get backing for a worthwhile school project.

As always, please feel free to get in touch if there's anything you'd like to discuss.

Kind regards,
