Q & A With Scott

Often I have school students enquiring about my role as the Member for Cook and former Prime Minister. 

Some students also ask personal questions about my hobbies, interests and family life; my answers to their questions are listed below…

As one of 151 Members of the House of Representatives from all around Australia, I spend about 18 weeks a year in Canberra. When Parliament sits we debate with other Members of Parliament about legislation; question Ministers about the work that they are doing; give speeches and vote on new or amended legislation

Outside Parliament I attend lots of meetings and events with people who have particular issues they want to discuss or problems to be solved

When I am in my electorate I meet with constituents, attend events or visit local schools and businesses.  The people in my Electorate of Cook are important to me

I love that my Electorate boasts the four Bate Bay beaches which are supported by four great Surf Clubs powered by a dedicated team of volunteers. I mostly enjoy hearing all the great stories from constituents about the community organisations they run or attend

To make sure that Australia is always the best it can be

That young people growing up today have an even better Australia to live in than I did
