We all have a deep love of this great country.
And we show that love in how we lift our fellow Australians up.
Today I spoke at the 2026 Australian of the Year Awards lunch.
Each of these nominees remind us every day what it means to be Australian.
Brave, caring and supportive of one another.
Good luck to all the nominees this Sunday, as Australia’s 2026 Australian of the Year is announced.
Celebrating the incredible work of teachers for World Teachers’ Day.
My parents, Ron and Wendy, devoted their lives to teaching. I have seen first-hand the patience, dedication and belief in young people that defines the profession.
To every teacher in Perth, and across Australia, thank you for the difference you make every day.
As the son of two teachers, I know the value of a good education.
Labor is wiping student debt, making TAFE free and delivering a 3 day childcare guarantee while staying focused on supporting your household budgets.
That's turning Perth's local values into national results.

REJECT DUTTON’S BUDGET CUTS.
Peter Dutton has started work on the Liberal Party’s list of cuts. Here’s a taste of his plan to cut Medicare, Aged Care, education and more so he can pay for nuclear power plants.

Introducing the Albanese Government's Net Zero Economy Authority Bill.
Two years ago, Australia had no target for net zero, no target for emissions reduction and no plan for energy transition.
The Net Zero Economy Authority will support the workers, industries and communities that have powered Australia for generations.

Today is one of the most embarrassing days of Peter Dutton’s leadership.
Dutton is voting yes to Labor’s tax cuts, while his team have called them:
1. "An egregious error"
2. "A betrayal"
3. "Treachery"
4. "Absolutely shameful"
5. "Class warfare"
6. "War on aspiration"
7. "Divisive"
8. "Handful of dollars"
9. "A big tax grab" and
10. "Marxist economics"

80 years ago today, the Curtin Government won a landslide election which saw them gain a majority in Parliament.
He was a proud Western Australian and our nation’s greatest Prime Minister.
It’s time to campaign like never before.
“The spirit of yes is big and generous and so very Australian.
It flows through communities and across faiths, across business, and unions across sporting codes."
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
52 weeks ago today our team of Labor volunteers across Perth helped elect the Albanese Labor Government.
Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the election, but I didn’t want to wait to say thank you to our Labor Members and volunteers for all you do.
