Schoolkids Bonus Budget Measures
Mr FLETCHER (Bradfield) (10:51): I am pleased to rise to speak on the Family Assistance and Other Legislation Amendment (Schoolkids Bonus Budget Measures) Bill 2012. Let me start by noting that the process under which the House of Representatives is being asked to consider this bill is a deeply deficient one. The first official announcement of this measure was in the Treasurer's budget speech last night. We now have a bill which was introduced this morning that was only available to members of the House to review from 9.30 this morning.

Fletcher welcomes Neighbour Day
Category: Uncategorised Published Date Written by Paul Fletcher MP Hits: 628
Member for Bradfield, Paul Fletcher is encouraging people in Bradfield to hold street parties or community events to mark Neighbour Day on March 27.
Founded in Melbourne by Andrew Heslop, Neighbour Day is now in its ninth year.
The aims of Neighbour Day include strengthening communities and building better relations; breaking down community barriers; and creating safer, healthier and more vibrant suburbs and towns.
Australians have embraced the day by organising events such as street parties or major community events in public spaces.
"If you are thinking of organising a street party, make sure you obtain a permit from your local council – and leave yourself plenty of time to apply for it," Mr Fletcher said.
