This morning I announced my resignation as Senator for Western Australia, effective from 26 January 2024.
Regrettably, my recent treatment for cancer means that my health, although slowly improving, has left me physically unable to continue as a Senator.
It has been an honour.
Senator Patrick Dodson’s plan to retire from the Senate fills me with sadness – but also with gratitude.
On behalf of the Labor family he gained when he became a Senator for Western Australia, I wish Pat nothing but the very best as he focuses on his own health.
I am deeply honoured to serve as Australia’s Prime Minister.
As Prime Minister, I want to bring people together and lead a government that is as courageous, hard-working and caring as the Australian people.
That work starts today.
That’s a wrap!
Another great year at the @USAFL1997 National Tournament here in Austin Texas.
Your 2021 Division 1 National Champions the @austincrows
Also the brother gets BOG in the GF.
What a weekend 🇺🇸
I’m beyond worried about the possibility of COVID outbreaks in the Kimberleys + Pilbara. As we’re seeing in Western NSW, the consequences for First Nations communities are devastating. Please get vaccinated. This is tremendously important for our future. https://t.co/N6yobCH1pa
I got asked post game tonight about Ash Barty’s Wimbledon victory and immediately got the biggest rock in my throat and what felt like a million goosebumps.
So proud of you @ashbarty. You continue to impact people in ways you can’t even imagine. Big big fan!!!
In celebration of @Naidocweek - we chat with actor and comedian Elaine Crombie @lani913 on what Heal country means, and why cracking open important conversations in the education system is profoundly important.
The National #NAIDOC Committee (NNC) has elected Yawuru woman @ShannanJDodson as its new Co-Chair.
She succeeds Patricia Thompson who has stepped down due to family commitments. We thank Pat for her outstanding contribution.

Happy Tomato Day! Spent the morning making a year’s worth of passata with the Bertoni family in Concord in Sydney. Nonna even let me take a couple of jars home.
Yes it���s true, I am coming for your gig...again...Peter Dutton. 💪
Would love to have the opportunity to represent the people of Dickson. #auspol #dickson
On this thirteenth anniversary of Kevin Rudd’s apology to the Stolen Generations, let us remember those thousands of survivors and their descendants who continue to suffer. Much of our history is yet to be learnt and taught. Until then, we will never be reconciled.
Mick Dodson tells the ABC's PM program re Scott Morrison's Aust Day comments: "It's a very selfish comment... there's no empathy there at all... I think he's lightweight when it comes to understanding Australian history." @abcnews#auspol
One day I got stuck on Nat Fyfe in a NAB cup game at Drummoyne oval and I knew straight away I wasn’t up to the job, so I called out to someone (maybe Reggie?) for a switch. So, yeah... I don’t know, maybe Michael McCormack will read this and he’ll understand. Or call Reg. Idk.

You don't need me to tell you that the price of child care for families is too high. Labor has a plan to fix it – and our Child Care Calculator will tell you just how much you'll save.
