Last year my family spent ANZAC day with Susan riding a Canberra kids train and feeding baby animals. She was awesome and I miss her more as time goes on 💜

Great to get the opportunity today for NTEU members to talk to David Pocock about the Australian Universities Accord.

The Accord process needs to deliver stable and secure funding to ensure better jobs, better workloads, better access and better governance. ✊

Important, world-leading legislation will enter Australia's parliament today focused on protecting young people from e-cigarettes. We strongly welcome this new legislation. It will close loopholes that have allowed the tobacco industry to target kids, and risk a new generation.

Fascinating to hear findings from Alex San Martim Portes on what conditions have enabled policy integration for sustainable development goals in patent regulation in Latin America at the conference. Domestic pharma firms and civil society advocacy has been key
