Results Australia hosted a TB Caucus Meeting at Parliament yesterday. The meeting focused on the recent developments in the fight against tuberculosis, the health-related High-Level Meetings in New York, the progress made in Papua New Guinea, and Australia's response.

It is important Australia's elections don't stray into Trump-like territory.

During the referendum campaign, members of the Opposition made comments that could undermine trust the integrity and independence of the AEC ✏️.

Our democracy is precious.

This referendum is important and the proposal is a simple request.

It's come from years of work from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, who are asking for a greater say over their own lives.

Our Jagajaga Yes campaigners have been working for months now, holding conversations at train stations, local shops, doorknocking.

Wonderful to have Linda Burney MP and Dean Parkin join us this morning as prepoll begins.

Thanks to SSI and all involved in putting together today’s at Parliament.

A very important gathering made even better by a bit of Canberra sunshine.

I've just tabled JSCEM's interims report into the 2022 federal election.

Recommending increased transparency around donations, reducing the influence of big money, truth in political advertising and more.

A lot of work has and is going into making our Parliament a safer workplace. But I know this week has been hard for many victim survivors and others. It is up to us to set the standard.

I want our newly formed Parliamentary Friends of Refugees group to help change our national conversation about refugees and people seeking asylum.

As one of the group’s co-chair’s, here’s a bit of what I had to say about it in Parliament this week 👇

the Albanese Labor Government is extending the financial safety net for single parents.

The Federal Budget will expand the access to financial support by raising the age cut-off for the Parenting Payment (Single) from 8 to 14.

Thank you Anthony Albanese for your announcement this morning you will ‘invest’ 1.9b to expand eligibility to Single Parents Pension until youngest child reached 14. You have taken up the legacy of Gough Whitlam when he introduced the Supporting Mothers Payment in 1973, changing lives. 👍

Thanks Kate Jenkins for your perseverance and hard work as Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

You've made our workplaces (and our Parliament!) fairer and safer for women.
