In Emma McBride's local community on the Central C

In Emma McBride's local community on the Central Coast, one in five people are in their late 60s. Many people around here have family members in aged care, or they know someone who works at a facility. These are the people taking care of our parents, our grandparents, our brothers and sisters. They're the people showing up to work every day during a pandemic and putting their own safety at risk to help others. But some aged care workers are missing out under the Morrison Government. And it's not good enough. The aged care retention bonus should go to every single worker at these facilities. It's the right thing to do.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a giant. She blazed a trail for women and girls everywhere while always, always standing up for the vulnerable and the powerless. She once said: “Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.” She’s right. And while people across the world mourn her passing, we recommit ourselves to her life’s work – a society that is fair, and equal, and just.

I love sending letters to locals on big occasions – and there aren't many bigger than the century. Happy birthday, Jane. It probably isn't the kind of celebration you were expecting, but we're all thinking of you. Older Australians built this country. They deserve our respect – always.

Today marks seven years of Liberal Government. Seven years of promises, but no delivery. Of being there for the photo opp, but never the follow up. Australians deserve better.

Vic runs a family business making truck bodies and trailers – along with his wife and two sons. Mike Freelander and I paid him a visit today.

Vic says they've got 16 staff on JobKeeper, but a further six are missing out because of the rules put in place by the Morrison Government.

People are being left behind by this Government. And when JobKeeper gets rolled back, even more people will be left behind.

We need high quality jobs like these to get us through the economic recovery. We need to hear less spin from the Government, and we need to see a plan for jobs.

It’s not every day that someone paints your portrait. It’s not every day that it gets shortlisted for the #ArchibaldPrize either. Congratulations @james_powditch on making the list of finalists 🎨

Supermarket workers have kept the country going through the pandemic. They're on the frontline, and they deserve our thanks.

Marrickville Golf Course by the #cooksriver is a community asset used by golfers, walkers and #innerwestdogs - the proposal to cut it in half is regressive and disrespects the social capital built up over 8 decades - Toto and her friend @lewis_cavoodle meet there as does the community #savemarrickvillegolfclub 🏌🏽‍♀️🐶

Sydney Olympics. Opening ceremony. 20 years ago – right now.
I'll never forget it.

I love Marrickville.

I love Marrickville.

This is John. He’s a 94-year-old true believer and World War II veteran I met in Coffs Harbour last week. John told me that he first handed out for Labor in 1943 when John Curtin was running for re-election. Older Australians like John built this country. They deserve our respect – always. Thanks for your service, John.
