Despite tough weather and global challenges, Aussie farmers keep proving their resilience and innovation.
Proud to back them with the @NationalFarmers as we’re on track to hit $100B in farmgate value - four years ahead of schedule!
I welcome the appointment of Mike Guerin as the new CEO of the @NationalFarmers
I look forward to working together to back Australia’s farmers, strengthen regional communities and build a strong, sustainable agricultural sector.

We’re expanding Australia’s Antarctic Program to create jobs and boost investment in Tasmania.
This investment means more support for our scientists, more polar ice breaking research voyages, and better aviation capability to keep workers safe.
Labor is backing Tasmania with up to 30 new scientific jobs, more research capacity and funding for world-class climate science.
Thanks to Minister @MurrayWatt and Senator Richard Dowling for joining me today and to Minister @JulieCollinsMP for helping make this possible.

Everyone is always on the hunt for cheaper groceries. 🛒 Which is why we’re backing @CHOICEaustralia to check supermarket prices every quarter to keep them in check. Here’s the latest for Tasmania 👇 choice.com.au/shopping/every…

Our farmers are so important to our country – and it’s right that Australia supports them as they rebuild after these floods.

Our Government will always stand up for Australia.
These are uncertain times - but all Australians can be certain of this: we will always stand up for Australian jobs, Australian industry, Australian consumers and Australian values.
These tariffs are not unexpected, but they are unwarranted.
Many other countries will be hit harder by today’s decision than Australia - and no nation is better prepared than Australia.

The Liberals just confirmed that Australians will pay to see a GP under Peter Dutton.

Jess Teesdale is a local teacher here in Launceston, and I’m so pleased to announce her as Labor’s candidate for Bass at the next election.
After studying, Jess found that she had to leave the state to find work. She wants to create an environment in Tasmania where people don’t have to leave to access good job opportunities.
I want Jess to be a strong local voice in a government that will continue delivering Medicare Urgent Care Clinics and better services for Tasmanians.

BREAKING: Labor’s mandatory Food and Grocery Code will include multi-million dollar penalties for supermarkets who do the wrong thing. The Liberals and Nationals just voted against it. So much for standing up for farmers. #auspol
Anne is a terrific fighter for Tassie and the NW & West Coast. She is needed to ensure the Albanese Labor Government is re-elected to continue supporting the people of Braddon.
Anne Urquhart has been a champion for North West Tasmania as a Senator.
She’s helped deliver tax cuts for every taxpayer here, more than 600,000 cheaper scripts, an Urgent Care Clinic in Devonport and more.
As Labor’s candidate for Braddon, Anne will continue her important work to help with the cost of living and build for Tasmania’s future.
Wishing @StevenJMiles @QLDLabor and the volunteers all the very best today. If you’re a Queenslander vote Labor for cost of living support and against the Liberal cuts.
Vote for your local Labor candidate today so I can keep doing what matters for Queensland. #lnpcuts
The Australian Government offers sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Luke Bowen following the sad news of his passing. He will be missed.
Really sad to learn of the passing of former @CattleAus CEO Luke Bowen. A staunch advocate for the cattle industry and Northern Australia and someone I could always trust to advocate for constructive solutions. My thoughts to his family and friends.

I know that speaking to farmers and their advocates firsthand is the best way to understand the opportunities, and the challenges, in the ag sector.
That’s why it was pleasure to speak with Ian Sauer from @TasFarmers_ in Longford today. It was great to chat.
