Like many migrants, my dad worked hard to build a life for us here. He was decent, kind, and loving.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Thanks for everything you do.
And to those missing their dad today, I know how you feel.

When it comes to reversing environmental decline - the task is great, but so is the opportunity.
It’s a global transformation - a chance to embrace sustainability, to drive renewables + new technologies, + an urgency to protect + restore our environment before it’s too late.

We’ll regulate it so it can’t be misused – to make sure it’s for projects that make a real impact, not greenwashing. And we’ll encourage people to invest in it.

Economics has always been about what we choose to value. Traditionally, we’ve valued many activities that degrade our environment. I’m proposing we attach the same value to activities that help nature - like replanting a stretch of koala habitat or restoring a damaged waterway.
