Back to Parliament

The first sitting week of 2023 begins soon and the Albanese Government is focused on delivering on its promises, as well as addressing the immediate issues facing Australia.

I look forward to being back in Canberra advocating for our community and helping Australians all across the country.

National Cultural Policy

Earlier this week the Albanese Government announced our new National Cultural Policy - Revive - which will provide a broad and comprehensive roadmap for Australia’s arts and culture for the next five years.

It will be built on 5 guiding pillars:

  • First Nations First

  • A place for every story

  • Centrality of the artist

  • Strong cultural infrastructure

  • Engaging the audience

The centrepiece of Revive will be the establishment of Creative Australia, the Government’s new principal arts investment and advisory body.

Within Creative Australia four new bodies will be established:

  • A new First Nations-led body that will give First Nations people autonomy over decisions and investments

  • Music Australia, a dedicated new body to support and invest in the Australian contemporary music industry

  • Writers Australia, to support writers and illustrators to create new works

  • A new Centre for Arts and Entertainment Workplaces to ensure creative workers are paid fairly and have safe workplaces free from harassment and discrimination

Labor has always, and will always, support the Arts.

Family Domestic Violence Leave

The Albanese Government is delivering on its promise to implement Paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave. A majority of Australian workers will be eligible to access 10 days of leave.

This law will save lives.
