The AUKUS agreement is the single largest defence investment in Australia's history, but it is not just an investment in submarines; it is also a generational investment in infrastructure right across the Brand electorate, infrastructure that will endure and will go beyond simply building submarines and upgrading the base but will ensure the enduring prosperity of Rockingham and surrounding suburbs.

The Albanese government understands the transformative power of education. We want to make sure that all students, whether they are at primary school, high school, TAFE or university, have every chance of success.

I was honoured to have Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in my electorate recently for the official opening of Rockingham's first bulk-billed urgent care clinic. The new clinic is one of seven urgent care clinics the Albanese Labor government is delivering for all Western Australians.

Volunteers are an integral part of all communities around Australia, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the volunteers in my electorate for all the magnificent work that they do.

The Albanese Labor government is making significant investments in local schools and in the future of our children. I am especially proud that the Albanese government's Schools Upgrade Fund is investing over $200,000 in projects in my electorate of Brand, right across the schools in Rockingham and Kwinana.

My electorate of Brand has a long and proud history of association with the Royal Australian Navy and Australia's submarine fleet.

I too rise today to pay tribute to Dr Lowitja O'Donoghue and to extend my deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones.

I rise today to update the House on the future of the offshore oil and gas industry decommissioning in Australia. Throughout our history, Australia's prosperity has been closely tied to the success of our resources sector.

I too rise today to offer my condolences to the family and friends of the Hon. Simon Crean on his passing.

In what has become a yearly tradition, on Easter Monday I took part in the Catalpa memorial event organised by the Australian Irish Heritage Association at the beautiful Catalpa Wild Geese Memorial in Rockingham.
