Tonight’s terror attack in Bondi was driven by hatred & antisemitism. Our hearts are breaking at such senseless violence. We are wrapping our arms around our beautiful Jewish community in the midst of such pain, grief & anger.

My love and solidarity with every single one of you.

Across these sites we’ll also increase social housing by at least 10% and triple housing capacity to ensure more Victorians can access modern, accessible and energy-efficient homes that they can be proud to call their own.

The Supreme Court has found that the Towers Redevelopment Program is lawful, reasonable, and justified.

The reality is that Melbourne’s high rise towers are ageing, reaching the end of their useful life, and need to be redeveloped.

To be clear, residents will also have a right of return once sites have been redeveloped.

We will work with you every step of the way over the coming years.

A huge shout out to all the housing offices who will continue working with residents over the coming days, weeks & months.

The work that you do is invaluable, so thank you.

This is what we’re building.

Important progress on #CensusAU questions, with more work to do.

Huge respect to everyone who has worked so hard to achieve this outcome, and to everyone who remains committed to counting all of us.

@_davidlimbrick It’s voluntary, David.

All LGBTIQA+ people deserve recognition.

Today I wrote to the Prime Minister about the Census, and why gathering inclusive data about LGBTIQA+ people matters.

Because equality means not leaving anybody behind, and if you don’t count us, we don’t count. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ #CensusAU
