ICYMI: Labor released Australia's first national strategy for gender equality. Here's what it focuses on.

As I have said before, it is clear these issues go well beyond the union - they involve criminal gangs & some labour hire firms/construction businesses. We’ve begun change, but we must continue tackling corruption, criminality & violence across the whole construction industry.

I have spoken with the administrator tonight and he intends to investigate and take action against any serving CFMEU organisers or delegates implicated in these reports. He will also consider further action to stamp out gender violence in the industry.

Tonight’s @60Mins allegations of corruption & violence towards women are appalling. I will refer them to police for further investigation. Uncovering this unacceptable conduct is testament to the hard work of the CFMEU administrator & his team, appointed by the Albanese Govt.

Violence against women in any form must be called out and condemned and the perpetrators must be held to account for their behaviour. If you are impacted by domestic, family or sexual violence and need support, it is available 24/7 by calling 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732.

The footage of a violent act against a woman that aired on 60 Minutes tonight is horrifying. The culture towards women on worksites also shown on the program is completely unacceptable.

This is leadership. The @AlboMP Government is focused on Australians in SE Queensland and Northern NSW as they face a tough couple of days ahead. Our fourth responsible budget will be handed down by @JEChalmers on 25th March. #auspol #auspol25
My Government is solely focused on assisting communities in Queensland and Northern NSW impacted by Cyclone Alfred. At the worst of times we see the best of the Australian character as we look after each other.

Peter Dutton likes to pretend that you can just cut 20% of public service jobs and it won't make a difference. It's simply not true.

Higher bills, fewer jobs, lower economic growth and a hit to the environment. That’s what Australians get under Peter Dutton’s risky nuclear power scheme.

He can’t be serious… Peter Dutton’s Liberals are so out of touch.

The choice couldn’t be clearer for voters next year, between an Albanese Labor Government that has delivered practical outcomes to improve the lives and careers of Australian women, or a Dutton Coalition with MPs who are more focused on talking women down.

If you need any more evidence of why Peter Dutton’s Coalition hasn’t changed one bit when it comes to respecting women, look no further than these outdated comments from Colin Boyce.

A new scorecard released today shows the gender pay gap has dropped from 21.7% to 21.1%. The main driver of the decrease in the gender pay gap is lift in wages for lower paid workers, especially in highly feminised sectors - like aged care.

New data from @ABSStats shows inflation at 2.8% is at its lowest in almost 4 years. It's back in the RBA's target band for the 1st time since 2021. Underlying inflation is at its lowest in almost 3 years. We inherited much higher & rising inflation, now it's lower & falling.

Having the Centre for Disease Control in Canberra is a big win for our city. It’ll boost our local economy by supporting hundreds of jobs and it’ll also mean Australia will be better prepared to manage future public health challenges.

Peter Dutton is going to cut $19 billion from housing while we have a housing shortage… but don’t worry, he’s just announced he might give $5 billion back through a “new” policy that Labor already has in place🙄🙄

Labor’s responsible budget management and back to back surpluses means that we can also deliver cost of living relief to Australians when they need it.

We've turned a decade of Liberal debt and deficits into two back-to-back surpluses.
The Albanese Labor Government has delivered the first back-to-back surpluses in nearly 2 decades. Our surpluses help fight inflation, pay down Liberal debt, and made room for cost-of-living relief for people under pressure. https://t.co/FzCcZBfFo5
