In their electorates, Greens MPs are campaigning to stop new housing developments. In Canberra, they’re voting with Peter Dutton and Pauline Hanson to stop new housing funds.
If they really want more housing, they should work with Labor to pass legislation TODAY.

Labor’s commitment to building affordable housing is the single most powerful material opportunity young people and families have been offered in a generation.

For more than a decade, union members across Australia have fought to make sure workers aren’t left behind in the energy transition.
The Net Zero Authority will make sure that the workers who kept our lights on for decades are supported as we transition to net zero.

Tonight's budget does three things:
1. Provides cost of living relief,
2. Creates more opportunities for more Australians, and
3. Builds a more secure economy into the future.
We’re supporting Australians doing it tough right now, and we’re building for the long term.

This is an issue close to my heart.
Single parents, who are overwhelmingly women, carry the world on their backs.
Our budget is lightening that load.
We’re expanding access to the single parent payment so it covers families until the youngest turns 14, up from 8.

Just as the 1980s saw the modernisation of the Australian economy, the 2020s must deliver the decarbonisation of the Australian economy.
The Government should rekindle, reimagine ambition of the Hawke/Keating economic reforms to make Australia a modern zero emissions powerhouse.

Acting on climate change is an urgent imperative.
And it’s also a huge economic opportunity for our regions.
The National Net Zero Authority we announced today will be focussed on seizing that opportunity for industry, workers and communities.
