It is an honour to be chosen by my colleagues to become a Victorian Minister in Premier Ben Carroll's Labor Government. ๐
I cannot wait to work hard each and every day on behalf of Victorians, alongside Premier @BenCarrollMP and Deputy Premier Gabrielle Williams MP.
Our strong and united team will deliver for all Victorians in cost of living relief, healthcare, education and community safety.
Victoria is a place of hope and aspiration. Where our diversity is our strength and where opportunity thrives.
We have excellent schools with the best teachers and a first-class healthcare, supported by the best nurses and midwives. Labor will always protect and fight for this!
Itโs the privilege of a lifetime representing our Mordialloc District across Kingston and Greater Dandenong over the years.
We have achieved so much together and Iโll keep working hard for you, to make our patch even better for tomorrow, alongside the important work as a Government Minister.
Every decision we make has the potential to improve the lives and help shape the future of our great State. We wonโt waste a moment!
Out in Edithvale this morning talking about how we are investing in our hospitals. ๐ฅ
Labor has delivered over 17,000 nurses and midwives and 40,000 health workers across Victoria.
We have delivered the Victorian Heart Hospital, the only hospital like this in the nation.
Peninsula University Hospital is open and thriving in Frankston, while we have major upgrades coming to Monash Medical Centre and Dandenong.
Labor will always back our health workers who support us in our time of need.
Good morning Chelsea! Great to be out talking to our wonderful community. ๐
We recently announced a Labor Government would deliver a direct pedestrian crossing connection from Chelsea train station to the shopping village.
This builds on our work to make Chelsea level crossing free and deliver a new Chelsea Station for our thriving town.
Looking forward to chatting to you all today.
Sunโs out, funโs out! โ๏ธ
Great to be out and about in Chelsea!
A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will deliver a new direct pedestrian crossing connecting Chelsea Station to our local shops, making it easier and safer to get around! ๐ถโโ๏ธ
And a big shoutout to Cucina Dolce for keeping us caffeinated with the best coffee! โ๏ธ
Always stunning in Parkdale for a chat with our community. ๐ฅฐ
From the wonderful coffee at Station Stop to the magnificent elevated rail and new Parkdale Station. ๐
Parkdale has it all!
Love our Edithvale community and today is a great morning to check in! ๐
From delivering upgrades to Edithvale Fire Brigade, Edithvale Lifesaving Club and removing the level crossings and building a new train station, thereโs been lots happening!
But thereโs more to do, with outdoor shaded learning areas coming for Edithvale Primary and the Aspendale level crossings removal not far away!
Iโll keep working hard for you and your family.
Beautiful spring morning in Chelsea to say hello! ๐
I have been so proud to represent our community and deliver the removal of the level crossings and building a new Chelsea Station, to upgrades at our local Chelsea Primary and St Josephโs Primary School.
Thereโs more to do and will keep working hard for you and your family.
ONLY LABOR WILL UPGRADE THE GOVERNOR ROAD & BOUNDARY ROAD INTERSECTION ๐ฆ ๐ ๐
A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will remove the dangerous and congested roundabout at Governor Road & Boundary Road, with a $60 million upgrade to deliver traffic lights and provide a safer intersection.
We have all held our breath going through this roundabout, especially in peak times and when the weather is poor. With the Mordialloc Aquatic Centre opening soon, we need to upgrade this critical intersection for Kingston residents.
Our local community has shared their concerns and we have listened. No more navigating the roundabout alongside trucks and heavy vehicles. No more unnecessary stress getting through the intersection.
We will upgrade the intersection with new lights and turn lanes, getting you home to your loved ones safer and sooner.
Planning for these upgrades would begin early next year in 2027, followed by important community consultation. ๐ง
BREAKING: Weโre doubling the number of potholes fixed across Victoria this year โ to 500,000. ๐ฃ๏ธ ๐ ๐ ๐๏ธ
The Carroll Labor Government will keep fighting for working families. ๐ช
On behalf of Victoria, I offer my deepest condolences to communities across Nepal who have been affected by the recent floods. The scale of loss is heartbreaking, and my thoughts are with all those who have been impacted.
Beautiful morning in Parkdale for a chat! ๐
Starting out with a wonderful coffee from Station Stop Cafe and keen to hear from you.
Hope you all have a good day!
It is a tremendous honour to be sworn in today as the Minister for Local Government, Minister for Consumer Affairs and Minister for Renters in the Carroll Labor Government.
Thank you to Premier @BenCarrollMP for the opportunity to serve and to the people of Mordialloc for the confidence theyโve placed in me.
Iโm looking forward to working hard every day to deliver for communities right across Victoria.
Congratulations to Victoria Policeโs 47 new graduates.
You're joining the biggest police force in the country.
We're backing the work you'll do with the nation's toughest bail laws and serious consequences with Adult Time for Violent Crime.
Thank you for dedicating yourselves to making Victoria a safer place.
Incoming: 12 new and upgraded hospitals.
From community hospitals to major redevelopments, Labor is delivering better healthcare for Victorians, closer to home.
