A thread of gratitude:

While the overall result in Herbert wasn’t what we’d hoped for, we did achieve an increase in the first preference vote for Labor, and, more importantly, the voices of tens of thousands of everyday people in Townsville were heard and amplified.

Well, the day is finally here! It's been a long camapign - I've been door knocking, phone calling, visiting, and consulting since July! I have heard you and I am fighting for you.

Today, your vote will make a difference.

Day 1 of week 2, and what a day it was. Hot weather, big crowds and long days. I'm tired, you're tired, so here's the cutest little groover you've ever seen. This little guy put on a great show at the Eid Mubarak celebrations a few weeks ago ❤️

Life isn’t 9 to 5. And with 1800MEDICARE, neither is health care.

Labor will launch a FREE 24/7 Medicare telehealth service for all Australians.

Whether you’re sick, injured or just need reassurance, you’ll be able to call anytime, anywhere and get health care for free.

A re-elected Albanese Government will make a $32 million investment in men’s health to stop men dying too young and support healthier men.

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will make Fee-Free TAFE permanent and save it from Peter Dutton’s cuts.

We need more Townsville locals completing studies in essential services such as nursing, construction, childcare and aged care; and free TAFE will support more people to do this

If you're training to build the homes that Australia needs, Labor will help you finish your studies.

We’re backing construction apprentices with $10k cash to help them get the job done.

It's crazy busy at early voting booths today!

We've had some great chats with people about Labor's cost of living help and Medicare enhancements; and about their fears of Trump-style politics entering Australia

Today I am honoured to be visiting beautiful Palm Island at the invitation of Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council. I've spent a lot of time on Palm over the years and it's always a pleasure to go back. I'll be setting up a mobile office at the mall, and will be visiting with community.

As a long-time worker in the community sector, I know what incredible things community and disability workers do every day to serve our most vulnerable and at risk people.

We’re making it easier to claim on your tax – because you shouldn’t be out of pocket to do your job

The choice couldn't be clearer

Labor’s plan will mean every person in Townsville can buy their first home with a 5% deposit. We’ll also build up to 100,000 new homes exclusively for first home buyers across Australia, without competition from property investors.

We'll cut 20% from all student debt. That means for example if you have a HECS debt of $20,000 it'll be cut to $16,000 under a re-elected Labor Government.

So more people in Townsville can gain the skills they need to get ahead.

Norma is a Townsville local who knows what it's like to do it tough. Australian Labor's cheaper medicines policy means that she can afford essential medications without having to sacrifice any other of life's necessities. Only Labor is helping with cost of living relief

Labor is serious about Women's health. From fertility, to contraception, to menopause. We've got you covered 🩷

No young person should ever be forced to miss out on mental health care because it’s too expensive.

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will make batteries cheaper, slashing energy bills for households, small businesses and community facilities by up to 90 per cent.

I was honoured to be invited by Townsville's African community to attend Townsville Multicultural Support Group's Eid Mubarak celebrations.

It's always a pleasure to catch up with Natasha and Joshua Lane from QLD Youth Connections, an organisation doing great things with our First Nations young people. We had some great chats about issues facing our Townsville First Nations communities, and where there are service delivery gaps. ❤️💛🖤 💚🤍💙
