A sad day for all those who have been helped by this legend @FatherBob. An inspiration for what we do @OzHarvest comes from people like Father Bob, dedicating his life to helping people who are doing it tough. Kindness goes a long way. Rest in peace. https://t.co/IwL3rGMk7A

"Because as audacious as this dream was - to run for our federal parliament - it has never been more important for someone like me to dream it." Thank you @SallySitou for dreaming big and for paving the way for others to dream big too.
Momentous time in Australian history where a Vietnamese woman who came to Australia as a refugee, is elected into the Australian federal parliament. Congratulations @dai_le
Thanks @LucyTurnbull_AO . I still canโt believe it. I still remember lying on that rickety boat in the middle of the ocean not knowing if our family will survive; campโs life, rebuilding our lives in Australia, and now, elected by the people of Fowler. An honour. #DaiLeMPFowler.
I want to thank the people of Reid for electing me and trusting me to be your representative in Federal Parliament. I will not let you down.
The people of Reid have voted for fairness, for integrity in government and for a better future for all.
