You might have noticed my hair style has changed…. I joined the BCNA and the awesome Pink Lotus dragon boat ladies to talk to The Today Show about why and what it means. The clip is up on my YouTube channel. youtu.be/m-DU628AUrM

Today every First Minister in Australia signed a commitment to support the Voice to Parliament. The Voice will recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our constitution, and consult on matters affecting them.

Medicare is the backbone of our healthcare system but it's not delivering the sort of care that Australians need in the 2020s. We’ve committed to deliver the highest priority investments in primary care, in line with the recommendations of the Strengthening Medicare Taskforce.

The upcoming referendum on the Voice is an extraordinary moment for our country. I have a great amount of faith in the Australian people - in their generosity and goodwill. I hope to walk with you all towards real change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. #voice

A privilege to be in the Chamber for this personal, powerful speech 🖤💛❤️

Mary Doyle is a true champion of working people – and will be a champion for the people of Aston. As a working mum living in the outer-eastern suburbs, she understands the pressures families are under. And as a cancer survivor, she knows the true meaning of Medicare.

For children like Juliette, child care is about having fun with your friends – and learning while doing it. But for parents, the child care system can be expensive and difficult to navigate. We're changing that.

API Dandenong pharmacy warehouse workers are standing up to close labour hire loopholes paying some workers less for the same essential work. We all depend on these workers, and it’s time they had secure jobs they can depend on too. #WesfarmersStrike @R_scott88 @wesfarmers
