Dick Adams

Federal Member for Lyons

DICK ADAMS..working hard for Lyons communities

Welcome to my web site. My priority as the Member for Lyons is to listen to the community and work in the best interests of all my constituents.

As your local Federal Member of Parliament, please feel free to seek assistance from me if you have any enquiries in your particular area. My priority is dealing with those issues that are directly related with Federal Government such as Centrelink, Veterans Affairs, Health, Immigration, Superannuation to name a few. I know there are other issues that cross all government boundaries and I am happy to help with those as well.

Since I have been in Parliament, I have continued to work hard to deliver on the Labor Government's commitments, as well as in the past, ensuring that other Governments do not forget Lyons while ensuring your voice is heard in Parliament.

This web site is designed to provide information about Government programs and activities across our region.

I look forward to seeing you out and about in the electorate of Lyons.

Pricing Carbon

Pricing carbon is the right thing to do, it is an essential economic reform. Australians are the biggest polluters per capita in the developed world. Our climate is changing - we need to reduce carbon pollution now. If we delay pricing carbon now, we risk losing the jobs of the future and threaten our long term prosperity. This is the best way to stop businesses polluting and get them to invest in clean energy. Now is our time to build a clean energy future.

Seeing the Forest through the Trees

The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Agriculture, Resources, Fisheries and Forestry tabled its report into the Australian firestry industry on 23 November 2011.

The Committee enquired into the prospects of the industry including: opportunities for and constraints upon production, opportunities for diversification, value adding and innovations, the environmental impacts of forestry, the potential for energy production and land use competition.

I am the Chair of this Committee and believe the report has come at an important time for the industry.

The report confirms that the Australian forestry industry has a bright future and there are exciting new avenues for investment and innovation opening up to Australian forestry.

The inquiry commenced in February 2011, received 121 submissions and held 12 days of public hearings, taking evidence from government and non-governmental stakeholders.
