Behind every statistic, there are families struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table. While the Morrison Government ignores child care, Labor has a plan to fix it – and make life that little bit easier for Australian families.

Three years ago today, the last Holden factory closed its doors – and car manufacturing ended in Australia. It came after the Liberals challenged Holden to leave. And they did. Time and time again, the Liberals have shown they don't care about manufacturing jobs. But I do. These Australians were proud of what they built. Rightly so. I want Australians to feel that pride again – because I want us to be a country that makes things. We can't afford to see more industries close down and more job losses, especially now. We need a government that actually supports Australian manufacturing – and all the jobs that come with it.

Some very tough questions today. Children are naturally inquisitive, and child care nurtures that development. That's why I will make child care cheaper for families.

This number 41 sign means a lot to me.

I can remember screwing it into the wall more than 30 years ago.

Mum bought me the drill set and I got stuck into the brick wall.

This is the social housing home where my mum raised me by herself while she was on a disability pension.

There was a real sense of community back then, and you can still see it there today.

When mum got sick and had to go to hospital – which was pretty often – the neighbours would take turns to cook me dinner.

I'll never forget that generosity of spirit, with everyone pitching in.

It's that same spirit we've seen this year when disasters have struck us. When the going gets tough, we stick together.

I want a Labor Government so we can build more public housing homes like this.

It's not just good for the people who live there, but it's going to be great for the economy.

Think of all the construction jobs we'll create.

Think of all the homes we'll build. All the lives we'll improve.

That'd be a legacy to be proud of.

Kiwis have voted to keep New Zealand moving for three more years. Congrats to @jacindaardern and @nzlabour.

Party conferences look a little different in 2020. Thanks to all the @nswlabor members who joined today’s online convention. Together, we’ll keep fighting for the better, fairer future that Australians deserve.

I was the first person in my family to finish school let alone go to university. I know the difference education can make to someone's life – and these students at @uni_newcastle know it too. I met with them with local MP #EmmaMcBride and @sendeborahoneill. They're part of the uni's enabling program which has given more than 60,000 people – folks who have been so hard done by – the shot at higher ed. Most of them are women, and most of them are the first in their family to go to uni too. The students I spoke to are learning to become teachers, nurses and social workers – because they want to give back to their community. Programs like this matter. Giving people the chance to succeed matters. And that's what will guide my Labor Government every day – because it'll be led by someone who has lived it.

The workers at Varley in Newcastle have been building things in Australia for more than 100 years. They should be building things here for hundreds more. And they deserve a government that backs them every day, not one that talks them down and sends their jobs overseas.

No worker should be held back just because they're a woman. That hurts our whole economy.

It holds back our whole country. I'll fix it.

My promise to you.

Valerie told me about how she likes to chop watermelons. I told her about how Labor’s plan to make childcare cheaper will help 1.1 million families.

Jobs will be crucial to this recovery.

But it's not just jobs, it's training as well.

That's why last week I announced Labor's policy of an Australian Skills Guarantee.

One in ten jobs on every worksite receiving federal funding will go to an apprentice, trainee or cadet.

We really need to get people back to work. And we need to train the next generation of people to grow our country out of this recession.

I met workers and apprentices today at Bluescope Steel in Wollongong with @stephenjonesmp @sharon.bird.mp and @fionaphillipsalp
