Two weeks from Polling Day and the Liberal Candidate for Parramatta is still refusing to agree to a debate. She skipped the Community Forum debate on Thursday, and is now refusing debate offers from the ABC & Sky News. The voters in Parramatta deserve better. #auspol

The $10bn stimulus was implemented 10 years ago this weekend. The largest, fastest and boldest economic policy of any government around the world. @MrKRudd and @SwannyQLD acted decisively while most of their counterparts in other countries nervously waited. Inspiring leadership.

A week ago I stood with Albo to announce my candidacy for the seat of Parramatta at this election. Since then I've talked to people from Granville to Westmead, Dundas to Merrylands about the changes an Albanese government can make in Parramatta. I'm proud to be Labor's candidate.
