We'll do what it takes to stamp out antisemitism in this country, with new laws and stronger penalties against hate speech.

Tonight we stood together as Australians. To reject antisemitism. To remember the precious lives we lost one week ago. And to wrap our arms around the Jewish community who are grieving. This has been a dark week for Australia, but we will never let hate divide us.

Tonight, Brisbane residents of all faiths came together to support our local Jewish community & all who grieve the Bondi terrorist attack. We remember those lost, support those in mourning & stand in unity to reject antisemitism, terror and hatred in all its forms.

Ahmed, you are an Australian hero. You put yourself at risk to save others, running towards danger on Bondi Beach and disarming a terrorist. In the worst of times, we see the best of Australians. And that's exactly what we saw on Sunday night. On behalf of every Australian, I

Yesterday was a dark day in our nation's history. But we are stronger than the cowards who did this. We refuse to let them divide us. Australia will never submit to division, violence or hatred - and we will come through this together.

Today, we added the Mithaka Cultural Landscape to Australia’s National Heritage List. An ancient inland trade route in SW Qld connecting the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Flinders Ranges & an important place of commerce & culture. And now the @AlboMP Govt has protected it forever.

It’s hard to think of a more anti-Qld policy than the Coalition’s decision to walk away from net zero emissions. It means higher power prices, more job losses and more natural disasters for Qlders.

BREAKING: new numbers show annual real wages have now grown 8 quarters in a row. This is the longest period of consecutive real wage growth in almost a decade. Real wages were going backwards by 3.5% under the Liberals, but they’re growing under Labor. Since the Albanese

More frequent and intense natural disasters, due to climate change, are having a massive impact on our native species and habitat. If the Liberals drop net zero, they must back our environmental law reforms in the Senate to show they aren’t the anti-environment party.

If the Liberal Party drops their net zero commitment today, it will show they care more about papering over their political divisions than protecting Australia’s environment and economy. Reducing emissions is critical to protecting our environment into the future.

Vale former Federal Labor Environment Minister Graham Richardson. Many come to Federal Parliament to protect the environment. Few are as effective achieving it, with the protection of the Daintree, Kakadu and more. My condolences to Graham’s family and friends.
