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! #auspol #bass #taspol

Breaking News The Albanese and Rockliff Governments are activating up to $52 million in disaster assistance to help protect environmental and cultural heritage areas impacted by the ongoing bushfires on #Tasmania West Coast. #auspol #taspol

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. #auspol #taspol

Federal #Labor $65m funding allowing next step in the #UTas stadium development to be released ✅ centre-west stand ✅ Expand western seating ✅ Revamp eastern stand ✅ Improve entry plazas accessibility This is a huge win for #Launceston and #NorthernTasmania #UTASStadium #LaborForBass #auspol #taspol

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.

In 2013 I was stuck on a #remote road in Arnhem Land for 2 days! I’m proud that #Labor is introducing the Universal Outdoor Mobile Obligation to make sure you can always call for help 5 million km² new coverage 37,000 km roads 000 will always get through #MobileCoverage #LaborforBass #auspol

Proud to share the stage and introduce Health Minister Mark Butler followed by @albomp.bsky.social right here in #Launceston #Labor will rebuild #Medicare with the biggest investment since Labor created it 41 years ago! #Australian #healthcare for Australians! #laborforbass #auspol #bass

Absolutely inspiring speech from @albomp.bsky.social today in #Launceston so much good news in one speech! It was an honour to share the stage and just so exciting to hear the vision and leadership on #Australian Health Care #Labor started #Medicare and we will fix it! #Laborforbass #Bass #auspol

Very inspiring talking to Samantha we met at #Alanvale with Minister Giles and her enthusiasm for her study and desire to work in the aged care sector is wonderful. Free #TAFE is helping her whole class to focus on study and spend that money where she needs it most - her family! #auspol #Labor

The #Albanese #Labor Government is delivering record funding in #Tasmania, especially right here in #Bass! The #Launceston #Medicare Urgent Care Clinic opened in August 2023, and has received more than 25000 visits! That’s 25000 people that didn’t have to go to the emergency ward! #auspol

Real wages have grown for five quarters! There is still more to do but only #Labor wants to see the whole community do better. #auspol #laborforbass #Tasmania

This week’s interest rate cut is the rate relief that Australians need and deserve. We recognise people are still under pressure, that hasn't gone away overnight, but the rate cut will help. #auspol #ausecon

To follow on from the good news about Interest rate cuts due to the good work in lowering inflation from the high levels we inherited: How else are #Labor addressing the cost of living issues? The Liberals opposed every single one of these! Let’s take a look #Laborforbass #auspol #Tasmania

A wonderful conversation with Mowbray Golf Club. It is growing and looking to secure its own water supply. The great thing is the proposed dam expansion would act as a sediment catchment stopping a lot of urban runoff into the #Tamar river. #Golf #LaborforBass

Good news from the reserve bank! Interest rates down Inflation down 2 surpluses (first in over a decade!) We have turned the corner Bulk billing up Gonski fully funded after 10 years of inaction Strong steady stable government #Laborforbass #Auspol #Labor www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

A wonderful talk with the apprentices (and some old students of mine!) at Tas Building Group Apprenticeship Scheme #TasBGAS #Labor is delivering support in Housing & Construction to attract and retain more #apprentices in critical trades plumbers, bricklayers, electricians and carpenters #auspol

A range of ages and backgrounds and all keen to work as caregivers, in disability support, aged care the roles we need so much across #Tasmania #auspol

It’s about time Australian women had more choice, lower costs and better health care.

Rain, wind and a whole lot of enthusiasm! Huge thanks to the absolute legends who braved the weather to hit the doors with me today. Fantastic conversations I am very keen to work with #community and all layers of government to ensure we are making positive change for Bass. #LaborForBass #volunteer

A parliamentary report has called on for a second icebreaking vessel and more reliable funding for Antarctic research.

Great news today 3 days of subsidised #childcare guaranteed thanks to #Labor #Childcare is so important to young families and helps to provide stepping stones to a solid education. Labor cares and Labor delivers. #auspol #Tasmania #laborforbass newsapp.abc.net.au/newsapp/1049...

What has Labor’s tripling of the #Medicare bulk billing incentive achieved so far? Let’s look at the #Bass data, which shows bulk billing increased 5% from 68.9% in October 2023 to 73.9% in December 2024, resulting in an additional 25,370 visits! #auspol #laborforbass #tasmania More to do!

On the doors and out in the community, people have been telling me how important it is to them and their families to be able to see a doctor and be bulk-billed. What’s Labor doing to fix the deliberate Medicare mess left under the Liberals? How about tripling of the bulk-billing incentive?

On International day of #women and girls in #science let’s celebrate our young Australian of the year! A proud Mabuigilaig and Goemulgal woman Dr Katrina Wruck’s method of converting mining waste to zeolite LTA removes contaminants from water. #STEM australianoftheyear.org.au/recipients/d...
