Today I visited St Gerard Majella Primary School and Cairns West State School with Matt Smith MP to speak with students about Australia’s democracy, the role of our institutions, and the responsibilities we all share in sustaining them.

For generations, the Parliamentary Library has been a trusted source of independent, reliable and professional advice for members, senators and staff. Its work helps support informed debate, better decision-making and a stronger Parliament.
