Matilda.
She was 10 years old.
Our hearts go out to her family.
We are so deeply sorry for your tragic loss.
Push play.
Close your eyes.
Think of her.
Add your voice.

Last Friday, I attended the @MATESConstruct SA annual charity lunch, and it's always worth supporting such an important cause.
9 lives are lost to suicide every day. 7 of them are men and the construction industry is one of the hardest hit.
I’m proud to keep advocating for men’s mental health by:
•Secured funding for the Suicide Prevention Fellowship in Men’s Mental Health
•Secured funding for the launch of the Men’s Health Checklist app
•Hosting SA's biggest International Men's Day event, now in its third year
"It is in communal activities that individuals find their true selves; the true self in traditional cultures is therefor something that is given and learned, not something that the individual creates for himself"

A clip from my talk at the @arc_forum conference in London last week.

We have to embrace connection and meaning to spark real happiness every day.
The Albanese Government has today delivered landmark reform to strengthen hate speech laws.
This Bill delivers the toughest laws Australia has ever had against hate crimes.

Moral ambiguity and confusion characterise @AustralianLabor . @SenatorWong critiques, @MarkDreyfusKCMP showboats, and @AlboIsPM is too late to the party. Then there is clarity from Dutton. Will the inevitable election loss be the fault of the media? https://t.co/nwwsaxsoQQ
"@AlboMP must now, so belatedly, follow the advice of Jillian Segal, his special envoy to combat anti-Semitism, and call an emergency national cabinet meeting to deal with the most sickening outbreak of genuine racial hatred modern Australia has seen". https://t.co/bg1ryXfonC
The incident in Sydney is an outrage and another antisemitic attack.
I will be briefed by AFP Operation Avalite officials this morning.
I stand with the Jewish community and unequivocally condemn this attack.
There is no place for hatred or antisemitism in our community.
