Swearing-in the 49th Premier of the State of Victoria, The Honourable Jacinta Allan MP.

Happy Fiji Day to Fijian Parliament, the people of Fiji and members of the Fijian community in Victoria. The Victorian and Fiji Parliaments are twinned under the Pacific Parliamentary Partnerships program. We value our special friendship and the work we do together. #springst

So very sad that there’s another generation of women who just don’t get it. After 60 yrs of fighting I despair…..

No more waiting round to see if you can find a doctor appointment. From today, if you need a refill for the pill or antibiotics for a UTI, you can get it from your chemist.

Congratulations!

For the first time ever women make up half of the Victorian Parliament. Now when school groups visit, they can look out from the galleries and see chambers that are truly representative of men and women. To celebrate, we invited all women MPs for a photo to mark the occasion.

On Anzac Day, we honour all who served and sacrificed. We will remember them. Lest we forget. #springst

‘Allegedly’ wow….

Our flags are at half-mast in remembrance of Aunty Fay Carter OAM whose State Funeral Service is being held today: vic.gov.au/AuntyFay. Aunty Fay was a tireless advocate who dedicated herself to Victoria’s Aboriginal communities. #springst

What an honour to host Maree Edwards MP, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly in Victoria (Australia) and Deputy Clerk, Vaughn Koop. I hope you both enjoyed your time in this Victoria (British Columbia).
