Ms SPENDER (Wentworth) (16:00): Wentworth is home to many communities I care deeply about, including those working in film and television. From production companies and screenwriters to actors, crews and creators, our local screen industry is a national asset. These creators tell stories that help us understand who we are, reflecting our diversity, our history and our hopes for the future, but these stories are increasingly at risk. Without screen content quotas, our local industry is vulnerable. Screen Australia's 2023-24 report shows a 17.5 per cent drop in Australian titles on TV in just one year. Just last month, I met with Wentworth producers Helen Bowden, Richard Harris, Nick Murray and Karen Radzyner. They spoke candidly about the chilling effect on investment due to ongoing delays in regulatory reform—reform that has been promised by this Labor government for three elections with no action.

Since my election in 2022, I have consistently advocated for Australian content quotas alongside groups like Screen Producers Australia, writing to the minister and raising it in parliament. The time for delay is over. If we want Australian stories to survive and thrive, we must act now to safeguard the future of our screen industry and the incredible storytellers that bring our culture to life.

I find a lot of joy in my job as Wentworth's MP, especially in meeting the incredible people who call our community home and hearing about the initiatives they are leading. One program I hold close to my heart is CRISP, the Community Refugee Integration and Settlement Pilot, a government supported initiative run with Community Refugee Sponsorship Australia. CRISP enables local groups of just ordinary people to welcome refugee families and support them from day one of their Australian journey. Just last week, I hosted my second community information session on this program. We heard from Blaise Itabelo and Lisa Button from CRSA and from some of our own Wentworth community: Camilla who was part of a group who hosted a refugee family including Jalal, who spoke to us.

Jalal shared with us all the story of his family, which was deeply moving. He talked about the fear of coming to a new country where you know no-one, the relief of escaping violence, but the difficulties of restarting your life like this. He told about how significant it had been for him, his wife and children to have a group supporting them through everything and what it meant to be shaping their sense of security and community. The support included everything from airport pickups—complete with handmade signs and big smiles—to help navigating Medicare, Opal cards and the search for housing.

Following the first session I held in 2023, up to 10 groups formed in Wentworth, making it one of the top electorates nationwide in terms of participation. What struck me when I first heard about CRISP was how much sense it made. It's not just about delivering services but about building connection. It enriches our community and strengthens our social fabric. I'm so proud to see that Wentworth continues to lead with compassion.
