Ange Postecoglou has cemented his status as a footballing powerhouse. But more than that, he has cemented his position as one of Australia’s all time sporting icons. Proud to see another product of Australian multiculturalism leading with integrity & class on the world stage.

A real pleasure to give the guest speech today at @RoadsAustralia Annual Industry Lunch in Brisbane and talk about the decade of transport infrastructure & Big Build construction ahead for Queensland as we deal with the Two G’s… growth and the games.

Incredibly proud of my dear wife @MariamVeiszadeh who is the overall winner of the 2023 Asian-Australian Leadership Awards. Great article here capturing her journey from shy Afghan refugee to “one of the country's most prominent social justice advocates”.

I very much identify with the pain and sense of helplessness expressed in Ons Jabeur’s voice here. Let’s hope the voices of reason and humanity, like Ons Jabeur, inspire us all toward lasting peace and justice. Kudos to Ons for her moving gesture and humanitarian act.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Ons Jabeur says she’s donating a portion of her prize money to Palestine:

“I am very happy with the win but I haven't been very happy lately. The situation in the world doesn't make me happy... I feel like… I am sorry. It’s very tough seeing children & babies dying every day. It’s heartbreaking. I have decided to donate part of my prize money to help the Palestinians. I can't be happy with this win. It is not a political message, it is humanity. I want peace in this world. That’s it.” ❤️

Tripling of the bulk billing incentive is a great #budget measure that will make a difference for people needing to see a doctor, at a time when many are doing it tough. No Australian should have to weigh up the health of their loved ones with paying bills. 👏 @JEChalmers #auspol

Sydney is at a tipping point with the uptake of electric vehicles. But are we ready? Plenty is happening to make way for this revolution but there’s still so much more to do to ensure a smooth transition. Today, we spoke about the big job ahead of us on charging infrastructure.

[Ehssan Veiszadeh @ehssanv]

Nothing quite like polling day, especially if you’re in the trenches as a staffer. Anxiety, exhaustion, &, if you’re lucky, relief. Here’s to all those who’ve fought in the trenches, of all sides of politics. Our democracy is better for it #NSWvotes
