On behalf of the Australian Labor Party, I wish the many Christians across Australia a Happy and a Holy Easter.

As we mark the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can take comfort in the feeling of hope inspired by the words of the Gospel - "He is Risen"! That feeling of hope inspires us all as we begin to emerge from the pandemic and look towards a better future.

This Easter, we will keep in our prayers the Australians who have been so devastated by the recent floods.

I send my very best wishes to the many people celebrating this weekend. And hopefully you can finally gather safely with your family and in your Churches.

A happy Easter, to you and your family.
