Few things more relaxing than a fishing trip up north.

Feeling very lucky to call Western Australia home.

It was an honour to be introduced to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi by Anthony Albanese . As the son of Indian migrants who made Australia home, I could not help but reflect on the journey that brought my family here.

Australia has always been my country and my home, and it is an incredible privilege to represent Western Australians in the Commonwealth Parliament.

I am also proud of my Indian heritage and the values, culture and sense of community that have been passed down through generations.

The relationship between Australia and India has never been more important. It is built not just on strategic and economic ties, but on the millions of personal stories, families and friendships that connect our two nations.

Protecting children requires us to have difficult conversations. 

This morning, as co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends Against Sexual Abuse and Exploitation, we took part in an important panel discussion at Parliament House. 

The message from victim-survivors, advocates, academics, and law enforcement was clear: by speaking openly about child exploitation, we can break the silence, identify and challenge harmful behaviour, and help keep children safe.

Great to catch up with my old friend Ed Coper to discuss his new book Angertainment - How Social Media Ruined Everything.

Today I joined Richard Marles and Madeleine King MP in opening the new WA Submarine Discovery Centre in Rockingham before visiting Australian Safety Engineers in Canning Vale with Sam Lim MP

ASE is making innovative air filtration systems for the navy and Australian firefighters - showing that, given the chance, Australian manufacturing can be world class or better.

At Bell Shakespeare’s ‘Ambition and the Aftermath’ panel discussion last week at UWA.

Enjoyed the lively conversation with fellow panelists about Shakespeare’s fascination with ambition and ambitious characters, and its relevance today.

Opening the new Drukpa Hall in Wanneroo with His Eminence and - a place for community to gather and cultivate kindness in action in the Himalayan Buddhist tradition.

Drukpa invokes the lineage of the dragon, and this hall marks the beginning of a new chapter for in Perth.

I was honoured to attend a meeting of the Kimberley Remote Aboriginal Community Leaders’ Network last week.

KRACLN acts as a collective voice, enabling communities to share knowledge and work together to improve the lives of people living in remote communities.

One of the reasons I was attracted to the legal profession was the obligation on members of the profession to use their skills and knowledge to serve the community.

I believe we need to foster a society where every Australian has access to a high quality education and the opportunity to succeed, as well as the opportunity give back to the community.
