This is why #Labor is the right choice for the future of Australia
That’s right, every school. Because every child deserves the best possible start in life, no matter what school they go to.

More energy bill relief is on the way in Tuesday night’s Budget. Every household and a million small businesses will benefit. This will provide a bit more help with the cost of living, in a responsible way. #auspol #ausecon #budget25

More good news on the #womenshealth front!

This is a Government that does actually care about the community.

After 10 years of the last government having a “Women problem”

This is truly refreshing to see.

#Labor this is what we do!

…and yes, there is more to do!

Fascinating visit to #AMC at #UTAS with Defence Minister and Deputy PM Richard Marles and Professor Paul Brandner

I love this.

I’m a candidate for #Labor in #Bass, we have people in our community that need this.

This will help.

Can anyone seriously actually imagine that the opposition would spontaneously do anything like this to actually help vulnerable Australians?

This is what we do.

Labor is helping some of Australia’s most vulnerable people secure their most fundamental need—a roof over their heads.

We are on the right path.
#Labor competent, scandal free with frankly really good economic results.
Inflation down
Interest rates down
2 surpluses
Growth
Low unemployment
Real wage growth

#Medicare, #Education funding
Climate action, low carbon economy support
Still more to do!

Today’s National Accounts show a solid rebound in growth and that’s more evidence our economy has turned a corner.

These numbers for the December quarter 2024 reflect the substantial and very encouraging progress Australians are making together in our economy.

Huge news! 💜

From today, Labor has listed oral contraceptives Yaz and Yasmin on the PBS, saving Australian women hundreds of dollars a year.

This means more choice and lower costs for women.

The Albanese government will freeze the indexation on beer in a ‘commonsense’ measure, despite Chalmers having said the increase wouldn’t have equaled 1 cent a pint.
