Congratulations to Dr. Michael Holland on winning today's by-election! It's the first time Labor will have held the seat of Bega since it was created in 1894. 👏👏👏
Liberal party candidate Sarah Richards, sitting in one of the most marginal seats in the country, somehow ‘forgot’ that her partner co-owns a property development company. Sure.
If you want to know how much influence the extreme right has on the Liberal Party just check out the number of Government MPs losing their mind because
@AlboMP
has condemned the role of Donald Trump in the US Capitol insurrection
Funny how Scott Morrison - the man who bought himself a trophy to celebrate his border management - now refuses to accept federal responsibility for quarantine.
The polls have now closed.
To every volunteer that has knocked on doors, picked up the phone and handed out how to vote cards – thank you! Your tireless contributions have powered our campaign and we couldn’t do it without you.
Craig Kelly has spent months peddling dangerous disinformation about vaccines and the virus - and Scott Morrison thinks it's a laughing matter.
This isn't leadership.
Scott Morrison needs to find a backbone and stand up to the extremists in his party. Now.
Our volunteers tell us

got there. Guess they didn't want to smear her to her face ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Today, Christian Porter was repeatedly asked whether he believed gig workers should be paid the legal minimum. He refused to answer.
Maybe he should spend a bit less time trying to cut workers’ pay and more time coming up with a plan to actually help gig workers.
Today, there’s a clear choice - better services under Labor or more sell-offs under the Liberals.
Today, you can vote for a fresh start for NSW.

With no Liberal willing to come out and denounce him, Craig Kelly has gone into overdrive posting 5 new Facebook posts overnight peddling dangerous disinformation
If
@GladysB
makes masks compulsory on public transport, in supermarkets, shopping centres and places of worship - we will back her 100%.
Wearing a mask saves lives and saves jobs.
Compulsory superannuation, the Native Title Act, a national infrastructure development program - the list goes on.
Happy birthday to a giant of our movement: Paul Keating.
We love our dogs - they're part of our family.
We want to make sure that those breeding dogs are doing so ethically and humanely.
That's why we'll:
🐾 shut down illegal puppy farms,
📝 review the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,
🐶 create an Office of Animal Welfare
Yesterday, the Treasurer admitted he's got a list of our assets that he wants to sell-off.
That means our trains, public housing, schools and hospitals could all be up for sale.
Privatisation is the last thing we need - especially when we're trying to recover from a pandemic.
“My message to the teachers of NSW is this: A Labor Government will value you, we will allow you to argue for a pay increase, and we will recruit more of you.” –

Beep boop.
Under an Albanese Labor Government we'll keep Centrelink store-fronts open and raise the cap of (real life human) workers there to support you.
We're starting the week right by watching
@JohnBarilaroMP
do his best used car salesman routine at an Upper House inquiry investigating the NSW Government rorts of bushfire recovery funding

Up to one million fish have died on the Darling River at Menindee in Far West NSW. This is the fourth mass fish death event in the past few months.
Enough is enough. Labor will establish a special commission of inquiry in water management on the Darling River System.
The NSW Liberals have:
🔵 spent $2.7 billion on trains from South Korea that don't fit the tracks and tunnels
🔵 spent $1.5 billion on ferries that don't fit under bridges
🔵 bought trams from Spain and France & buses from Malaysia
It has been revealed that a new stadium at Moore Park will be delivered years before upgrades to some of the state’s busiest hospitals.
Once again, the Berejiklian Government is putting the interests of ordinary people behind those of corporations like the NRL and SCG Trust.
Between December 2014 and the end of August last year, Peter Dutton had used his ministerial power to grant somebody a visa to live in Australia 4,129 times.
That's 3 times a day.
So why won't he do it for the Biloela family?
Congrats to
@MRowlandMP
our new Party President!
In Michelle's words: “We must be—and must be seen to be—a Party that empowers all Australians to succeed, from the suburbs to the regions, and helps working people to find economic security and opportunity as we navigate change."
A Daley Labor Government will build a new $500m world-class state cultural institution in Sydney’s West while retaining the Powerhouse Museum at its existing Ultimo site 🎭🎵
It seems that Christian Porter - the Minister for Industrial Relations - has got no idea about the reality of working in the gig economy.
Totally out of touch.
45 years ago today, Sir John Kerr dismissed Gough Whitlam from office.
It was a moment that changed Australia forever.
We'll never forget the Whitlam Government's historic achievements.
Sydneysiders can't get to work this morning because Ms Berejiklian prioritised stadiums over our rail network. If they can afford $2 billion for stadiums, they can afford to fix the network.

As Treasurer, Scott Morrison cut more than $4 billion out of the pocket of Australian pensioners.
He only cares about the top end of town.
We must protect the aged pension, not give more handouts to big banks and multinationals.
