Just because we're in isolation doesn't mean the work stops. It was great to catch up with the chairs of the Metropolitan Partnerships today for an informative discussion about the priorities in their regions.

Statement from the Premier:

Whist their doors are closed to the public, the team at ‘We Love Bees’ have launched an Online Bee School to help children understand the role bees play as part of a healthy and sustainable food system - just in time for World Bee Day today bit.ly/2WDZsEw

My statement on today’s media article.

Media Statement.

The sudden passing of Kimberley Kitching has broken my heart. KK was loyal, smart, beautiful inside & out. The ALP & the Australian Parliament is poorer for her passing. My heart aches for her life partner Andrew & her family. So sad, shocking & unfair. Rest in eternal peace KK.

I do not possess the words to express my sadness at the untimely death of Jane Garrett. My heart goes out to James, Molly, Sasha, Max, and her extended family. Rest in eternal peace dear friend.

Not easy but worth it.
