Immigration is about nation building.
Central to this is the manner in which people are welcomed after they've made the decision to call Australia home.
My focus is about listening to and working with the millions of Australians who are our immigrant story.

There is clear support at the Jobs and Skills Summit for the Government to modernise Australia’s workplace relations laws.
Big business, small business and the union movement all agree we need a new approach to bargaining to get wages moving.
The Government will act.

At the 1983 Economic Summit there were 97 participants. Trailblazing Senator Susan Ryan was the only woman in the room.
Fast forward to today, our Jobs & Skills Summit was kicked off by an all women panel on Equal Opportunity & Pay in a room where women made up a majority.

Labor’s Jobs and Skills Summit is about people coming together and putting ideas on the table.
This week is the start of the conversation, not the end, and I look forward to working towards solutions to the challenges we inherited together.

It was a pleasure to meet with Central Province Governor Rufina Peter and Rai Coast Open MP Kessy Sawang - the first women elected to PNG Parliament since 2017.
We hope this marks a new chapter for women in politics in PNG.
Their voices in parliament will be an asset for PNG.

The agreement announced between the ACTU and COSBOA is really significant.
This is what happens when you have a government that unites people, rather than tries to divide them. That’s what our Jobs and Skills Summit is all about.

Discussions about water are always going to be heated - that’s why it’s important we have them. I’ll always be upfront about the challenges ahead, + engage with as many people as possible to develop our govt’s plans.
Thanks for having me at the 2022 Bush Summit .

Wherever I travel across our country, I hear this:
Australians want secure, well-paid jobs and more opportunities to get ahead.
And put simply, that's what next week's Jobs and Skills Summit is about.

Fantastic news! Our Government has committed $92,500 to make the intersection of William Street at Main Street, Earlwood safer. This will help reduce serious injuries & deaths on our roads. It's a part of a $29.5 million investment in NSW roads through our Black Spot Program.

‘Robodebt’ was a black stain on the previous government, who went after vulnerable people, creating false debts and hounding people to pay money they couldn’t afford.
We need to know what happened. And we need to make sure it never happen again.

Today we announced a Royal Commission into Robodebt. Against Liberal denials, I’ve been saying Robodebt was illegal for years. This inquiry will answer remaining questions and deliver Robojustice for the victims. #robojustice

The most vulnerable were hurt by Robodebt. It was unlawful, shameful, and must never happen again. The Royal Commission will be led by Commissioner Catherine Holmes AC SC and headquartered in Brisbane. Visit Robodebt.royalcommission.gov.au for more information.
