Saturday’s election was a big win for workers. So today was an extra special Labour Day march with Anika Wells and two outstanding new colleagues, Kara Cook and Emma Comer. #auspol

THANK YOU 🙏

In every community in every corner of our country, vote Labor to strengthen Medicare, help with the cost of living, and build Australia’s future.

Voting to build Australia’s future ❤️

Big day of early voting showing my support for Ali France, Renee Coffey and Madonna Jarrett and finishing up where it all begins for me, in our local community. A vote for Labor is a vote to strengthen Medicare, help with the cost of living, and build Australia’s future. Let’s get this done.

The Coalition is going to this election promising higher taxes, savage cuts, and bigger deficits. When Peter Dutton cuts, Australians will pay. #auspol #ausecon

Good news on inflation today. We are making progress under Labor but there’s more work to do. That’s why our cost of living help is so important. #auspol #ausecon

Today's result is a powerful demonstration of the progress that Australians have made together under Labor. Inflation is down, real wages are growing, unemployment is low, we've got the debt down, growth is rebounding solidly in our economy & interest rates have started to come down as well. #auspol

Responsible economic management has been a defining feature of this Albanese Labor Government. We've released our costings, now it's time for Peter Dutton and the Coalition to come clean about their secret costs and savage cuts. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

Responsible economic management is a defining feature of our Labor Government. Today Katy Gallagher & I released our costings for the campaign, which show we’ve more than offset our commitments. Now it’s time for Peter Dutton to come clean on his secret cuts to pay for his nuclear reactors. #auspol

Here are the facts about the progress we've made in the Australian economy under Anthony Albanese and Labor. #auspol #ausecon

Only ten days to go and still Peter Dutton and Angus Taylor won't come clean on their secret cuts to pay for their nuclear reactors, because they will make Australians worse off. #auspol #ausecon

My thoughts are with Catholics in our local community and around the country who are mourning the death of the Pope tonight.

32,000 jobs were created last month. That means well over a million jobs have been created under the Albanese Labor Government - a record for a parliamentary term. @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol #ausecon

Peter Dutton is too risky and too reckless to be Prime Minister of a country like ours. #auspol

Announcing with Mark Dreyfus and Julian Hill today a new employment hub for Dandenong, which is all about ensuring more people in this wonderful, vibrant local community can find great jobs, earn more and keep more of what they earn. #auspol

The Albanese Labor Government is delivering immediate and ongoing help with the cost of living, higher wages and lower taxes for every taxpayer. Under Peter Dutton, no ongoing help with the cost of living, higher taxes and lower wages. #auspol #ausecon

Today Peter Dutton said the quiet bit out loud. He said he’d manage the budget like Tony Abbott did. That means tens of billions of dollars in cuts to health and education. #auspol #ausecon

The only way Angus Taylor can find $600 billion to pay for the Coalition’s nuclear reactors is to cut Medicare again, like they did when Peter Dutton was health minister. #auspol #ausecon

We see the politics and policies of the US and want to reject them, Peter Dutton wants to replicate them. Labor has an Australian plan to strengthen our economy in uncertain times. The Coalition wants to Make Wages Lower Again; Make Taxes Higher Again; and Make the Budget Rorted again. #auspol

The choice at this election is between stability and responsibility from Labor in an uncertain world or cuts and chaos under Peter Dutton and the Coalition. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

Tonight's debate has left Australians with one big question: why won't Angus Taylor come clean on Peter Dutton’s plans to cut health and education to fund nuclear reactors? #auspol #ausecon #treasurersdebate

There could not be a more important time for the responsible economic management which has been a defining feature of the last three years under Anthony Albanese and Labor. #auspol #ausecon

Labor is helping Australians earn more and keep more of what they earn. Peter Dutton and the Coalition will increase your income taxes and want you to work longer for less. #auspol #ausecon #treasurersdebate

Under @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social: ✅ Inflation is down ✅ Real wages and living standards are growing again ✅ Unemployment is low ✅ Debt is down ✅ Interest rates are going down ✅ Growth is rebounding solidly in our economy #auspol #ausecon #treasurersdebate

This election is a choice between @australianlabor.bsky.social that’s delivering cost of living relief, strengthening Medicare and building a stronger economy, or the Liberals who are all about tax hikes, lower wages and secret cuts. #auspol #ausecon

Because of the progress that Australians have made together over the last three years, we're well placed and well prepared to deal with this global economic uncertainty. There couldn't be a worse time to risk Peter Dutton's lower wages, higher taxes and secret cuts. #auspol #ausecon

Grateful to Ross Greenwood and @skynewsau.bsky.social for the opportunity to join my counterpart for a wide ranging debate on the economy tonight. Tune in to Sky at 7.30pm. #auspol #ausecon

Australia is well placed and well prepared to deal with the uncertainty we see in the global economy because of the progress that we’ve made together over the course of the past three years. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

Josh Frydenberg and I had our differences, but we agreed to debate them robustly & respectfully at the National Press Club. If Angus Taylor squibs a debate there, it will prove beyond doubt he & the Coalition have vacated the field on the economy, or don’t want to come clean on their secret cuts.

A very big THANK YOU to all the SES volunteers heading west to help out in the flood-affected communities in regional QLD that we are visiting today with Jenny McAllister and Anthony Chisholm #auspol

Labor is supporting a real pay rise for 3 million workers, and cutting taxes for every taxpayer. That means more Australians earning more and keeping more of what they earn, to help with the cost of living in an ongoing way. #auspol #ausecon

We’re going in to bat for workers across Australia, supporting a real wage rise for people on awards & tax cuts for every taxpayer. Labor is all about helping Australians earn more & keep more of what they earn. Peter Dutton wants to increase your taxes & make you work longer for less. #auspol

The Albanese Labor Government is delivering a new medical school at QUT. We’re strengthening Medicare by training more doctors & nurses & the new medical school that we’re delivering in Brisbane will help. Grateful to the team at QUT for welcoming Madonna Jarrett and I to make this announcement.

Vote Labor on 3 May to help with the cost of living, strengthen Medicare and Build Australia’s Future. #auspol

Angus Taylor has just confirmed he’ll introduce legislation to raise income taxes on every Australian worker, if they win the election. This means under Peter Dutton and the Coalition, Australians will earn less and keep less of what they earn. You’ll be worse off under Dutton. #auspol #ausecon

Australians will face a simple choice between Labor cutting taxes and helping with the cost of living, or Peter Dutton’s secret cuts that will make Australians worse off. Because he wants to cut everything except income taxes for workers. #auspol #npc #budget25 #ausecon

Usually at this point in budget week or the electoral cycle, you would set some basic tests for your opponent. On this occasion they’ve already failed them. #auspol #npc #budget25 #ausecon

The substantial progress we've made on the budget isn’t an end in itself. Repairing the budget and rebuilding living standards go hand in hand. #auspol #npc #budget25 #ausecon
