Here’s our $2.1m plan to boost, protect and support First Peoples arts and creative products – at Bendigo Art Gallery

    Always great to visit Bendigo, but it’s even better when you can officially open more residential rehab beds. This 8 bed unit provides specialised treatment for people with both mental health and drug or alcohol issues

    My message to the new disability minister in ’s cabinet - the 4th minister in 4 years - is simple - fix the plans - fix the price & funding - lift the staff cap - work with states & disability organisations And deliver the NDIS the nation was promised

    Our current PM has made it pretty clear what he thinks about Rainbow families - so let me be clear where they stand with the Victorian Govt. We are with you and we will fight this all the way. Because in Victoria equality is not negotiable.

    We do not need ‘gender whisperers’ in our schools. Let kids be kids.

    Tomorrow is Wear it Purple Day. Which tie should I wear to support young LGBTI people and let them know their right to be who they are based on their sexuality or gender identity will be defended by the Andrews Labor Government?

    So let me see if this is right. The PM was the author of the dumped company tax policy. The deputy PM was the author of dumped NEG. Dutton is 3 votes from PM. What was the last week all about? Certainly not the people of Australia...
