Quotes attributable to Senator Anne Urquhart

I am a regular visitor to King Island and to Phoenix House. It’s a great service and is very important for the King Island community. House Manager Sally Haneveer has recently been recognised as the King Island Citizen of the Year, which is a testament to the hard work that she and her staff put into caring for the King Island community. I am very pleased to be able to announce a re-elected Albanese Government will extend the services the House is able to offer.
