I pay tribute to her parents, Harry and Ellen, for their decision to emigrate to this great country in 1957 with a view to a better future for their children—June, Barbara, Harry, Pauline, Stephen and, later, Tracey. I also pay tribute to retiring clerk David Elder, who made the transition for 27 new members in this class of 2019 such a pleasure and who, without doubt, will be sorely missed. Moncrieff, Queensland. I'm pleased to say that, when I fact-checked this statistic with the Parliamentary Library, the response was that the library does not collect information on the sexuality of parliamentarians as part of its biographical information database, and so it should be.

Moncrieff shares boundaries with the electorates of Fadden to the north, McPherson to the south and Wright to the west. I have very many special men in my life and, for their support, I thank them. Members of parliament have a great responsibility to put our fellow citizens first, and when we serve them, informed by the sum of our collective life experience, we serve the Australian people well. Angie was sworn in as the Member for Moncrieff at the Opening of the 46th Parliament in Canberra. You have even witnessed live in the chamber the revelation that is question time— I hope you'll be back! But it is true that I am also the first openly gay woman in a major political party in this place. Thanks, Pop. As part of my service in this place I hope to have some input towards the advancement of cancer cures and the growth and success of the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct at Griffith University, my own alma mater, which sits in the north of the Moncrieff electorate. Under the Morrison government, that's what happens, and that's why I stand on this side of the chamber. As a professional musician for some 35 years, I was lucky to travel the world performing in, and visiting, 23 countries. My incoming district governor tells me that I am one of only a few who have stood in this place as a former Rotary International exchange student. Rotary International Exchange Student, 1986. While, sadly, I never saw her perform, my grandparents did. To the wonderful Vice-president of the Liberal Party, Fay Duda, for your warmth and support, to the federal Liberal Women's executive, Helen Kroger, Victoria Opitz, Robyn Nolan and close friends Georgia, Natalie, Ange, Kate, Trudy, Kathy and Megan and Sally—thank you for so many years of support. Across three generations of factory workers, my family helped to build the automotive and clothing manufacturing industry that South Australia enjoyed for so many decades. Our home stretches from its central Gold Coast southerly boundary at Sixth Avenue in Miami, past the North Burleigh headland, along the iconic coastline featuring the Q1 to Main Beach and the Spit to the north-east corner, then westward toward the hinterland, through Nerang, Highland Park and Gilston, and south-west through Worongary and back to the coast. I worked in business during the day as a merchandiser, sales rep, state manager, a retail consultant in my own business, a workplace trainer and assessor, and a national business development manager where I learned a lot about people and enjoyed helping thousands of small businesses. Their passion to improve the lives of Australians touched me so profoundly that I dared to believe that a girl like me, from humble beginnings, could and should try to make a difference alongside them. She used her first speech to highlight the importance of tourism to the local economy of her Gold Coast seat. The DEPUTY SPEAKER (Mr S Georganas) (17:24): The question is that the address be agreed to. National Business Development Manager from January 2015 to October 2018. My vision is for the Gold Coast to be the premier domestic destination and to improve the international numbers to our city so that small business thrives and so that families flourish. I also acknowledge John & Denise Collins who have made the trip from Earle Haven in Nerang, here in the gallery today. A new Liberal MP has used her first speech to parliament to celebrate diversity and champion the rights of the LGBTIQ community. Although I will not face the same risks to life and limb as our soldiers, this office is one I do not take lightly. I'm pleased to say that my older sister, Cher, now 54 and also in the gallery today, has just recently enrolled in higher education—and her sons, Jack and Isaac, have attended higher education and will achieve success in their own fields of Asian languages and airmanship. Tourism is driven by visitor numbers, and visitor numbers are assisted with airport connectivity to our very special linear city. I met a number of ministers whose dedication to the country stirred something deep inside me. Steve Ciobo, pictured announcing his retirement in March, has been angered some within his party for abandoning candidate Angie Bell during the campaign. After that day—and a semester studying economics 101, can I say—I believed in the Liberal Party and what it stands for. Music was my road map to success and education the vehicle. The harmonious melting pot is made up of New Zealanders, people from the UK, China and India, Italians, Hungarians and other Europeans who emigrated to Australia in the fifties and sixties. In fact, Moncrieff has over 30,000 small businesses, who are the backbone of our economy and who now enjoy the tax cuts and benefits the Morrison government is delivering. Angie Bell MP To the good people of Moncrieff, Throughout this pandemic, the flag has flown everyday in front of my office on Chevron Island.

It's my ambition to mark my time in office with a record of humble contributions to you, my wonderful community of friends, neighbours and family. She has taken up the seat of Moncrieff and insists she doesn’t want the ‘narrow lens’ of sexuality to define her role in public life. I'll also advocate for all those in my electorate and across the country living with homelessness, domestic violence, drug and alcohol challenges, child sexual abuse, mental health and eating disorders. 18 May 2019.

I thank my wonderful late mother, Barbara, for her love and warmth, her tolerance and her generosity.

Elected to the House of Representatives for Moncrieff, Queensland, 2019. I acknowledge all those who have served and who serve today to keep our nation and our families safe. I hope that my presence in this place will remind those around me and across the country that in Australia there is no place for discrimination. The vast majority of Australians contribute to the most successful multicultural society in the world because we understand that inclusion, respect and tolerance are the building blocks of a stronger and better nation. As someone with strong personal connection to the Australian Defence Force, I'm proud to say that Moncrieff is home to a large veteran community. I also pay tribute to my late grandmother, Doreen Bell, for her tireless work for the Church of Christ and countless charities, particularly the blind, well into her 80s. Yes, my grandfather was Catholic! As a young woman in my 20s, the personal experience of losing my mother to cancer was a difficult time for my family—the pain imprinted in our hearts forever.

Great-uncle Frank served as a light horseman. She delivered her First Speech on 31st July 2019, outlining her passion for equality of opportunity, reward for effort and the Gold Coast as the home of the entrepreneurial spirit. A premiership for one or both is surely only a matter of time and something to look forward to in the future. My work took me across all states and territories and I feel confident in saying that I have visited most electorates in Australia. To our close family friends who stepped up to assist, to Ros Bates MP, the state member for Mudgeeraba and shadow minister for health in Queensland, for her support and guidance throughout the campaign, to Karen Embrey, now in my office with Sophie, for the volunteer heavy lifting that pulled together the campaign resources in the five weeks from preselection to election day: thank you all. Hansard transcript of maiden speech by Angie Bell, Liberal National Party member for Moncrieff. First-term Labor MP Anika Wells said her party had to be “unafraid to examine ourselves”.
