It all started here.
Growing up, mum was in and out of hospital. Rheumatoid arthritis crippled her joints and she was on the invalid pension.
We lived in public housing. And having a safe, secure roof over our heads meant everything.
For me, politics has always been personal. I know first hand the powerful difference governments can make.
I believe everyone deserves the best healthcare regardless of their status in life. And everyone deserves the security of a roof over their head.
In this election, I'm fighting to defend and strengthen Medicare, for more affordable housing, and for a better future for the next generation.

BREAKING: Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton formally endorse Kamala Harris for president — building momentum for her historic candidacy!

Here's what needs to happen now. Sky News, The Australian, 2GB — all must apologise to Brittany Higgins. They've been caught red-handed disgracefully weaponising her allegations and trying to use her as a political football. And all must also apologise to Katy Gallagher. #auspol
