Happy Friday! Just in case you needed the reminder this weekend - if you’re not being paid 24 hours a day, you shouldn’t be on call 24 hours a day.

We’re getting on with it with real cost of living relief. Thats my goal. Figures out today show that Aussie families have saved more than $2700 through child care. #jobs #relief

Amazing cricket and support for the Pink Test - I’m in! Virtual Pink Seats help ensure no one faces cancer without the care of a McGrath Foundation Cancer Care Nurse. I’ve known how vital this support is. Huge thanks to these amazing nurses for their compassion, dedication, and care. 🙏

Thanks to Labor, you have the right to disconnect these holidays. It’s now law. If you’re not being paid around the clock, you shouldn’t be expected to be available around the clock. These laws were passed by Labor to protect the rights of workers.

Just 7 days until the Boorloo Bridge opens! Here’s your sneak peek. This project will connect Perth CBD to the Victoria Park foreshore. Funded by State and Federal Govts, it’s delivered hundreds of local jobs and will transform the area. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Early educators are among the most underpaid workers in Australia, but we’re changing that. From this month, early childcare educators on award rates will see a pay boost of $100 a week, rising to $155 a week by December next year. It’s great news.

As a mum of two young kids, I know how important childcare is. Under Labor, every child will be guaranteed three days a week of subsidised early education. We’re also investing $1 billion to build more childcare centres. Let’s give every child the best start in life.

I’ll be talking to Nadia Mitsopoulos today on ABC Perth Radio this morning about the 61 recommendations to tackle financial abuse.

Financial abuse is a form of domestic violence. Our inquiry uncovered the depth of the issue. It's a landmark report, and the recommendations have been described as gamechangers. To the witnesses who bravely gave evidence, thank you.

You shouldn’t have to pay to use your own money. Paying with a debit card shouldn't cost you more. So we're cracking down on unfair card surcharges and getting you a better deal at the checkout. See what I have to say about it: youtube.com/shorts/cGFLc...

At the beginning of our inquiry, we didn't appreciate the scale of this problem.

One minute, next minute. Passing critical legislation in the nation’s capital, to swimming lessons. Wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m working for Swan today, and building a better Swan for tomorrow.

I’ve been working on the national inquiry into financial abuse for a year now. Financial abuse is a big problem - it’s a form of family and domestic violence. The recommendations from this inquiry are important and I’m working hard to ensure we get it right. #financialabuse #16daysofactivism

Swan Young Changemakers are being heard. I caught up with Education Minister Jason Clare MP about what they had to say about education. Here is a snapshot of the Ministers response. Thank you to our young people for sharing their views. I’m making sure they are heard at the highest level.
