I support the Voice to Parliament 100%.
If you look at the Uluru Statement from the Heart you will see my signature on it.
It's time that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians had their voices heard on the issues that affect us.

Our town of Alice Springs is facing a lot of challenges right now. Be assured that the Labor Government is committed to doing what we can to restore order to our community.
We're delivering what the Australian people voted for
✅ Cheaper childcare
✅ Cheaper medicines
✅ Expanding Paid Parental Leave to six months
✅ More affordable housing
✅ Getting wages moving again
Let's work together and get this done.

From today if you're on the Cashless Debit Card in the Northern Territory, you will be automatically contacted about your situation and Services Australia will support you with new arrangements.
For more information, go to servicesaustralia.gov.au/deb… or call the Cashless Debit Card Hotline on 1800 252 604.
This is an amazing video shot during the Wulirankuwu celebrations.
We need to celebrate these achievements in our remote Aboriginal communities.
The Wulirankuwu Traditional Owners on the Tiwi Islands have backed themselves and laid the foundations to make generational change.

From talking to people in communities I was told first-hand that the CDC caused a deep feeling of disrespect and shame to those who were forced to use it.
The card failed to restrict participants spending money on grog and gambling services and was found to be a bad policy that discriminated against Indigenous people.
Read my article about why the CDC had to go and how the Labor Government is transitioning card users to a voluntary enhanced income management card.

.@SenatorWong today affirming our commitment to bring the Restoring Territory Rights Bill to a vote by the end of the year.
I've been fighting for territory rights for over a decade.
My message is clear: I won't stop until the job is done.
Just before midnight last night our legislation to abolish the Cashless Debit Card passed the senate!
This will give over 6,000 indigenous families access to childcare.
We know how important school readiness is in closing the gap.
That's why this initiative is so crucial to the lives of so many young indigenous Australians.

It's time that we had transparency and accountability in Parliament.
After 4 years of inquiries and academic reports into the Coalition’s Cashless Debit Card it was established that it was ineffective in reducing trauma and domestic violence.
This is why Labor is committed to abolishing this failed program.
