In 2007 I just graduated law from QUT, fast forward to 2020 & I couldn’t be more humbled to be sworn in as Qld’s youngest female Attorney General.
Young women need strong leaders & I’m proud to be part of a cabinet that leads by example 👩🏼🎓

The Federal Government’s decision to abolish the Family Court is reckless and dangerous. By undermining the family law system, Scott Morrison is putting women and families at risk in the time of their greatest need
#qldpol
#auspol
After seven years of neglecting the family law system, the Liberals are about to try to make a bad situation even worse for Australian families.
Labor will oppose the Morrison Government’s dangerous and reckless proposal to undermine, rather than improve, the family law system.

Currently, only one person can be listed as ‘mother’ or ‘father’, meaning many same sex parents aren’t properly recognised on their child’s birth certificate.
These changes will enable a same sex couple to register as ‘mother/mother’ or ‘father/father’.
