We've passed new laws this week to strengthen gun laws, introduce a national gun buyback, and combat antisemitism, hate and extremism.
Got a student debt? You’ll pay up to $50 less a fortnight from today.
Your time off should be your own, that’s why Labor made the right to disconnect law – because you shouldn’t be on call 24/7 if you’re not paid 24/7. That’s just one way Labor is protecting workers – we’ve also recently passed new laws to protect penalty rates on minimum and award wages.
PASSED: Our bill to make cheaper medicines even cheaper - just $25 a script! We've passed legislation to make medicines on the PBS cheaper, and from January 1, you won't have to pay more than $25 for a PBS script.
PASSED: Labor's bill to wipe 20% off all student debt!
The Fair Work Commission’s today has announced a 3.5% increase from 1 July 2025 following the Albanese Labor Government’s submission recommending an economically suitable real wage increase to Australian workers. That's an additional $1,669 per year for a full-time worker. #auspol #melbourne
Tens of thousands of people on New South Wales' Mid North Coast have been hit by devastating flooding, and as a Government we are doing all we can to support those impacted. #auspol #nsw #newsouthwales #australia
Australia overnight has joined 22 countries and the EU in demanding that Israel immediately allow full humanitarian access into Gaza.
It was a great honour today to be sworn in by the Governor-General as Assistant Minister for Defence. I’m looking forward to delivering for all Australians, and continuing to be a strong voice for my community in Wills, both locally and in our Parliament. #auspol
I thank the Prime Minister for his confidence in me, appointing me as the Assistant Minister for Defence. It is a great honour to serve my community and Australia. #auspol #australia
Labor will guarantee all workers a $1000 instant tax deduction every single year.
📣 Just Announced: $3.7mil from a re-elected Albanese Government to upgrade Linear Parklands in North Fitzroy, North Carlton and Princes Hill! This funding commitment is only possible if a federal Labor government is re-elected - and every seat counts to re-elect Labor. #auspol #melbourne
A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will cut the cost of PBS medicine to no more than $25, or $7.70 if you’re a pensioner. I visited Pharmacy 777 in Pascoe Vale and heard from Sara and other pharmacists on how this change will help thousands of their patients every year. #auspol #melbourne
Reminder: you only have until 8pm tonight to enrol to vote or update your enrolment details with the AEC #auspol #melbourne
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is part of Australian values – it’s not up for negotiation. It was great to join the PM @albomp.bsky.social and Min. for Health @markbutlermp.bsky.social at Bell Street Pharmacy here in Wills to reaffirm that Labor will always defend the PBS. #auspol #melbourne
A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will guarantee three days of childcare as part of our plans to build a universal early education system – because every child deserves to access a quality education. #auspol #melbourne #childcare
Only a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will build a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in Coburg and Clifton Hill. #auspol #melbourne
Labor is expanding Help to Buy so Australians can buy homes with lower deposits and smaller mortgages. #auspol #melbourne
Through a $2 billion expansion of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, the Albanese Labor Government is unlocking $8 billion of additional investment in renewable energy and low emissions technologies in the budget we’ve handed down earlier this week. #auspol #melbourne
The Albanese Labor Government is strengthening Medicare – that’s why our budget last night contains the largest ever investment into #Medicare since its creation 41 years ago. That includes funding for 50 new Medicare Urgent Care Clinics we’re opening if re-elected. #auspol #melbourne
Labor will cut taxes for every Australian taxpayer. Last night we handed down the Albanese Labor Government’s fourth budget – with a focus on reducing the cost of living and building Australia’s future. #auspol #melbourne
The Albanese Labor Government is providing an additional $150 in energy bill relief for every Australian household and small business. #auspol #melbourne
The Albanese Labor Government is cutting the cost of medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) – with all PBS medicines costing no more than $25 or $7.70 for pensioners and concession card holders. The last time PBS medicines cost no more than $25 was 2004. #auspol #health #melbourne
Happy Holi! Wonderful to spend time celebrating with the Northern Melbourne Marathi Mandal’s Holi celebration in Coburg on Saturday. A huge congratulations to the NMMM for organising such a welcoming and special Holi celebration! #melbourne #auspol #holi #coburg

On this day in 1983, Bob Hawke was elected Prime Minister of Australia. In Bob's first term, one of his biggest achievements was introducing Medicare within his first year as PM. The Albanese Labor Government is continuing Bob's legacy... (1/2) #auspol #melbourne #australia
