Delivered
It’s a privilege to stand-up for the values of our vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community here in Wentworth. I’m proud to have helped deliver:
- [/] 26 weeks paid parental leave, with super paid on top – as well as a new ombudsman to combat sexual assault at universities.
- [/] Australia’s first antisemitism envoy – who I will continue to work with to address the alarming rise in antisemitism, especially at universities.
- [/] Inclusion of our LGBTQ+ community in the census – finally recognising our wonderful diversity and helping to deliver better services for the community.
Future Plans
Whilst some politicians are seeking to divide us, I want to build a fairer, kinder, and more united Australia. I’m focused on:
- Equality, safety, and respect for women and girls – including stronger action to address domestic violence.
- New laws to protect LGBTQ+ students and teachers from discrimination at school – and ensuring people of faith are free from vilification.
- Humane treatment of refugees – ending the uncertainty for eight thousand people seeking asylum who have been living in limbo in Australia for a decade.
