Graphic showing Labor delivering More Tax cuts, more energy bill relief, more bulk billing to help you see a GP, more cuts to your student debt, more houses built around Australia

Well lots to unpick with the #budget but it’s a responsible and detailed response to the challenges we face and builds towards a future that we can be proud of!

This #Labor Government is delivering #Australian healthcare for Australians and Australian #Education for Australians!

More energy bill relief is on the way in Tuesday night’s Budget. Every household and a million small businesses will benefit. This will provide a bit more help with the cost of living, in a responsible way. #auspol #ausecon #budget25

Hi Jack
This didn’t come from my campaign. I’m focused on the many good things Labor is doing.

Medicare, Women’s health, cost of living measures, large funding increases to Education, low carbon future facing quality jobs and building a future for our community and youth.

I have heard so many stories like this, it really is a game changer and almost completely under the radar for way too long!

More good news on the #womenshealth front!

This is a Government that does actually care about the community.

After 10 years of the last government having a “Women problem”

This is truly refreshing to see.

#Labor this is what we do!

…and yes, there is more to do!

Fascinating visit to #AMC at #UTAS with Defence Minister and Deputy PM Richard Marles and Professor Paul Brandner

World leading specialist research right here in #Bass #Launceston

It is great to see such interest in our capability in #defense and #maritime from the Minister.
#auspol

I love this.

I’m a candidate for #Labor in #Bass, we have people in our community that need this.

This will help.

Can anyone seriously actually imagine that the opposition would spontaneously do anything like this to actually help vulnerable Australians?

This is what we do.

Albanese’s pitch on beer – temporary freeze on excise indexation

The Albanese government will freeze the indexation on beer in a ‘commonsense’ measure, despite Chalmers having said the increase wouldn’t have equaled 1 cent a pint.

So great to meet you and Professor Michael Rose today @utas.edu.au what a fascinating and vital area of research!

Legislation starts in 2025, with full rollout by 2027
We have been very busy over the last 3 years, we even got criticism for pushing too much legislation through. We have policies that we want to implement in the next 3 years. The alternative is cuts to services but they won’t tell you where!

I know firsthand how dangerous it can be to be stranded without mobile coverage. In 2013, I was stuck on a remote road in Arnhem Land for nearly two days. I’ll never forget how quickly things can go wrong, and the added terror when you realise you can't call for help. That’s why I’m so proud that the Albanese Government is introducing the Universal Outdoor Mobile Obligation (UOMO), a world-first reform to make sure Australians can always call for help when they’re in danger. ✅ 5 million km² of new outdoor coverage ✅ 37,000 km of regional roads covered ✅ Triple Zero will always get through, if you can see the sky, you can make an emergency call ✅ Better connectivity during disasters and power outages We’ve heard from locals in places like Ansons Bay about the dangers of mobile black spots. This reform means that if you’re lost in the bush, stuck on a remote road, or facing a medical emergency far from help, you’ll be able to reach emergency services when it matters most. Legislation starts in 2025, with full rollout by 2027, because no one should be left without a lifeline in an emergency. Image: Google Maps Ansons Bay Road
