Seeing robotics at work in person is a great way to end a week!
The FIRST Robotics Competition is a worldwide competition that brings together students and mentors to build robots that will compete against other teams – and it’s happening right here in Reid.
FIRST Australia (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) designs programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in STEM, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills. The government, via the National Innovation and Science Agenda, is investing more than $99 million from 2016-17 to 2019-20, to inspire participation and excellence in STEM among all Australians.
It was also great to see so many girls involved in the competition, which is a great sign for STEM careers into the future!

]]>The future of Australian industry, the economy and jobs lies within our ability to innovate, expand and adapt. I’m eager to begin working with, and listening to, the leaders within these fields as we work towards a modernised new economy. Advances in technology are transforming every aspect of our lives and our support of innovation and science are critical to deliver future growth and prosperity.
While I am no longer the Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs, I will continue to passionately support multiculturalism both within Reid and Australia as a whole. Multiculturalism is such an important foundation of our society and I consider it an absolute privilege to have served as the Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs.
Furthermore, I welcome the appointment of Zed Seselja as the new Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs. Zed has tremendous experience and character – I know he’ll do well in the position and will passionately represent our multicultural communities.
It’s never been a more exciting time to be an Australian and I look forward to furthering our fantastic, world class innovative industries.
And please never forget that my office is always available to discuss the local issues important to our area.
Craig.

]]>Earlier today, I joined Federal Minister for Health, Sussan Ley MP at Homebush West Public School to discuss the Government’s Child and Adult Public Dental Scheme.This is the largest ever Commonwealth investment in public dental services and will focus on the prevention of oral health issues.
State and Territory governments will receive more money from the Commonwealth than they have ever received for public dental services.
This replaces Labor’s policy that had seen $4 million worth of incorrect claims being investigated.
The Turnbull Government will invest a total of almost $5 billion over the next four years to improve dental outcomes, including $2.1 billion over 5 years on the Child and Adult Public Dental Scheme.
Every year more than 63,000 Australians hospitalised because of poor oral health, this is largely avoidable. This investment in prevention makes sure that the children are the direct beneficiaries and will benefit every child under 18 in the Reid community.

It was great to show Steven Ciobo MP some of the wonderful businesses here in Reid during his visit today. We spoke with entrepreneurial local business people who are exporting wine, meat products, logistics and e-commerce services to China, and heard how the recently signed trade agreements have boosted their business success.
The Turnbull Government is committed to helping local businesses like these thrive by creating new opportunities and reducing the small business tax rate.
A re-elected Turnbull Government will continue to deliver even more opportunities for local businesses with our ambitious trade agenda.
And thank you to 85 Degrees Coffee Australia in Burwood for the delicious pastries and cakes!
