Fundraiser Tickets available now!

Posted on by

The Liberals and their mates have deep pockets and out-spend us every election. That’s why we need fine folk like our grassroots Labor supporters to help us out – even with small donations.

If you want to help my colleague Julie Collins MP continue her great work as Labor Member for Franklin, please buy some tickets in her raffle fundraiser. Tickets are $10 each and there are some fantastic prizes to be won (a couple of which I’ve got my eye on!)

Pre-poll voting for the 2022 federal election has now opened!

Posted on by

It’s wonderful to be down at the Kingston Pre-poll centre with Senator Tony Sheldon (Visiting from NSW) handing out how-to-vote cards for Julie Collins MP and the Tasmanian Labor Senate team.

Only an Albanese Labor Government can deliver a Better Future for Australians.

The pre-poll centre located at 7 Goshawk Way, Kingston, is open from 8:30am until 5:30pm on weekdays until election day and from 9am- 4:00pm on this coming Saturday.

Tasmanian Labor Campaign Launch

Posted on by

Labor launched its Tasmanian campaign today with Anthony Albanese giving an inspiring speech.

Some great announcements for Tasmania delivering jobs in manufacturing and renewable energy.

Albo also outlined how a Labor government will strengthen Medicare, make it easier to own a home, put the care back in aged care and tackle the cost of living.

Scott Morrison keeps saying it’s not his job, not his responsibility – so why does he want the job? It’s time to elect a government led by a Prime

Minister who wants the job and does the job – and that’s Albo.

Thank You Tasmanian Fire Service

Thankyou to all Tasmania Fire Service volunteer firefighters for their time, dedication and service in keeping, not only their own communities, but us all safe.

Earlier today I joined Toby Thorpe – Labor Candidate for Huon, Kate Rainbird – Tas Labor Senate Candidate and Senator Carol Brown for the announcement by Julie Collins MP that if elected Labor will commit $500,000 for a pilot program to deliver better training and improve preparedness of volunteer firefighters

In the community at Eastlands

Posted on by

Busy morning at Easlands with Julie Collins MP, Daniel Hulme, Labor candidate for the Senate and Sarah Lovell MLC .

Plenty of conversations regarding concerns with cost of living increases.

After a decade of Liberal Government the only plan they have is to reintroduce extreme workplace laws.

With everything going up, except your pay, Anthony Albanese and Labor have a plan for cheaper childcare, cheaper power bills and more secure well paid jobs.
