The Coalition ran up $1 trillion in debt and produced the 3 largest deficits in Australia’s history but now they demand Government focus on fixing their mess. Wow!
After a decade of gross neglect: with species in decline; abused seas & rivers; no duty of care & a hollowed out dept the environment portfolio is critical. We need a senior minister of the calibre of @tanya_plibersek to reset & she’ll need strong support from cabinet#Auspol2022
Through a new 8-year partnership, ‘Tautua – Human Development for All’, Australia and Samoa will work together to address complex challenges in health, education, gender, disability and social protection.
I am proud of my experienced, diverse and energised team. We are ready to deliver on a better future for all Australians, and we'll start with focusing on how we can help families deal with rising costs.
I’m delighted to be appointed a Cabinet minister in the new Labor Government with responsibility for environment and water. I look forward to the challenge.
I am very proud to be named Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government.
This is a big portfolio that has a real impact on the lives of all Australians - from the cities to the country.
I’m ready to pull on the safety boots and get to work!
Grateful for the opportunity to take on the role of Special Envoy for the Great Barrier Reef. The Reef is incredibly special and supports thousands of jobs. I’m looking forward to working with all stakeholders to protect the Reef for generations to come.
Congratulations to all my colleagues named by @AlboMP today as part of our @AustralianLabor ministry. Looking forward to working with them, and everyone in our talented and dedicated team, on behalf of every Australian. #auspol
Immense privilege to be named the Minister for Housing, Minister for Homelessness and the Minister for Small Business in the Albanese Labor Government.
I know how critical these issues are to our nation’s future and look forward to getting to work straight away.
Education is the most powerful cause for good in this country. It will be an extraordinary privilege to serve as Minister for Education in an Albanese Labor Government.
Tonight I was announced as Labor’s first ever dedicated Minister for the NDIS. I will also be Minister for Government Services. It is my great honour to serve people with disability, to defend the NDIS and oversee the Robodebt Royal Commission. Now the hard work begins.
Today I will be writing to the Fair Work Commission to indicate that an Albanese Labor Government will be making a submission on the minimum wage case.
People who are on the minimum wage can’t afford to go backwards.
Proud to be part of a Labor Government that will implement the Uluru Statement of the Heart. Today is Sorry Day, we recognise the pain, trauma and suffering of the Stolen Generations and their families and communities.
So…attacking politicians over their physical appearance is sexist, childish, disrespectful and wrong - except when the target is a Liberal man?
Do I have that right, Tanya? 🤔
