The saying goes, never waste a crisis.
Well COVID is presenting us, on a platter, a chance to reform our immigration system that we will never get back again.
I want us to take that chance.

Capturing the moment at #JobsSummit2022.
Just ONE trailblazing woman - Sen. Susan Ryan - attended the Accord.
One!!
Not one woman from unions or employers.
Today women are front & centre & pay in female-dominated work tops the list 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

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.

After a decade of wasted opportunities, it’s time to work together to deliver secure, well-paid jobs and invest in the skills we need to boost our economy.
That’s what our Jobs and Skills Summit is about.

Thanking workers for what they do is so important.
And for our Government, it’s about more than words.
It’s about building an economy where hard work means you can get ahead.
That’s why we’re holding the Jobs and Skills Summit this week.

New South Wales and Victoria are establishing 50 Priority Primary Care Services - half on either side of the Murray.
They're for patients who need urgent care, but not quite lights and sirens - and they'll be absolutely free.

Metro Tunnel is coming together - above, and below ground.
When it opens, ANZAC station will have a seamless interchange to our busiest tram line - and by 2029 you'll be able to get a train from here directly to the airport.

Lauren O’Dwyer & I saw first hand the amazing work of Richmond West PS teachers & students. It is a stellar example of our bilingual programs – they provide students with an immersive language acquisition program that both builds language skills and a deep cultural understanding.

Matthew Guy confirmed that if he was Premier he will cut the Suburban Rail Loop - telling the people of Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood & Box Hill that they won't get vital connections to healthcare, education and jobs. Cutting projects Victorians voted for.

I am astonished and appalled at the actions of the former PM.
I am so glad we now have a PM who believes in our democratic system and will protect it.
Governments must be accountable and transparent. It’s vital for integrity and democracy. It’s respectful of our communities.
Quote Tweet
Our democracy is precious. Our system relies on checks and balances, and the former government deliberately undermined those checks and balances. The Australian people deserve accountability and transparency, not secrecy.

Getting your Ls and Ps is one of those important milestones in life - so much so that I saved my first licence!!
We’re now making it easier for learner drivers to get their licence.
From today, getting your Ls and Ps is free!

Waratah Special Development School in Bellfield will build new classrooms to replace relocatables for senior students thanks to a $6.8million State Budget contribution from the Andrews Government. Thanks for the cuppa, Jason. You make a good trainee barista.

Getting your Ls and Ps is a rite of passage so much so that I saved my first licence and got a 90s equivalent of a selfie of myself with my Ford Telstar.
With the cost of living being sky high, we’re doing our bit for learner drivers.
From today, getting your Ls and Ps is free!
