Shadow Minister for Education and Early Learning and Shadow Minister for the Arts
Education and Early Learning
Across the education and early learning portfolio, Julian focuses on support for families, academic excellence and choice. He highlights the importance of foundational knowledge, cultural literacy, and backing teachers as our greatest asset for driving excellence in education.
He strongly believes that school reforms must be based on measurable data and meaningful outcomes for parents, and that quality teaching and a focus on literacy and numeracy are essential to raising standards.
In childcare, he believes that safety must be paramount; a one-size-fits-all approach is wrong in principle, and the needs of children should be at the centre of childcare policy.
In the higher education and research sector, he believes in a competitive, dynamic sector and that public universities must not only deliver world-class education and research but also operate in the national interest.
Across the board, he considers education should be transformative, help build our economy and create social cohesion, and support robust and trustworthy institutions of government in the best traditions of Western liberal democracy.
The Arts
In his role as Shadow Minister for the Arts, Julian supports a flourishing creative and cultural sector that helps bring Australians together.
He is a champion of restoring credibility and integrity to the institutions that shape the sector and believes the arts should contribute to Australia’s identity and international reputation.
From Australian movies and television to music, books and Indigenous art, Julian considers that our creative sectors should be a powerful tool for soft diplomacy and wants our artists and creatives to receive appropriate backing and recognition as part of the nation’s broader cultural fabric.
Achievements
Delivering for Berowra
We live in a great part of Sydney where people are community minded and self-reliant. Our community has more volunteers, people of faith and small business owners than many other parts of Australia.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t have our challenges. I have fought for and delivered better roads, better telecommunications and more support for community groups.
But there is always more to do.
This is your community, and your voice matters.
