Opinion Articles

Matt regularly writes opinion articles for local and metropolitan newspapers. Here are some of his recent pieces.

A selection of Matt’s published opinion writing. You can read the full pieces via Matt’s social media channels.

Small business should mean more than getting bills

Small businesses — from cafes to tradies, dry cleaners to butchers and grocers — are doing it tough. Matt argues for practical support such as reduced workers’ compensation premiums and regulatory relief.

Unions have too much power in NSW

In their first six months in office, the new Labor Government officially met union leaders and bosses 353 times. Matt examines what that means for the balance of power in NSW.

No time to cut spend on building

Building infrastructure must be a priority for all governments. Matt makes the case for continued investment and sets out his budget priorities.

More than 120 years on, a chance to get things right

Despite Australia’s success on so many fronts, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have not truly shared in our nation’s bounty. Matt reflects ahead of the 2023 referendum.

A government about nothing

Matt co-authors a critique of Premier Chris Minns’ first 100 days in office — a government, he argues, that is yet to deliver.

Let’s not forget the forgotten

For the Liberal Party to remain the party of home ownership, Matt argues it must also be the party of renters — and proposes three policies to help renters into their own homes.

Better utilising schools

Schools are at the centre of our local communities. Matt proposes opening them up on weekends and holidays to help meet a shortfall in recreational facilities.
