Thanks Kate Jenkins for your perseverance and hard work as Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner. You've made our workplaces (and our Parliament!) fairer and safer for women.



Thank you Anthony Albanese for your announcement this morning you will ‘invest’ 1.9b to expand eligibility to Single Parents Pension until youngest child reached 14. You have taken up the legacy of Gough Whitlam when he introduced the Supporting Mothers Payment in 1973, changing lives. 👍


Wonderful to celebrate volunteering with Amanda Rishworth MP in Bundoora today. Plus we got to meet a lot of talented embroiders, quilters, knitters and more!


I want our newly formed Parliamentary Friends of Refugees group to help change our national conversation about refugees and people seeking asylum. As one of the group’s co-chair’s, here’s a bit of what I had to say about it in Parliament this week 👇 Refugee Council of Australia #auspol





Our Jagajaga Yes campaigners have been working for months now, holding conversations at train stations, local shops, doorknocking. Wonderful to have Linda Burney MP and Dean Parkin join us this morning as prepoll begins.
