Delivering for Northcote
Northcote is a creative, clever, and compassionate community. It’s been my home for my whole life – and I will always fight for us.
As we grow, there are challenges and opportunities ahead – to tackle inequality and cost of living pressures, strengthen economic security and bring better balance to our lives.
As your MP for Northcote, I’m focused on delivering real action.
That means better healthcare and modern schools, secure jobs and thriving businesses, affordable housing and community facilities, and leading a rapid transition to renewable energy for a safe climate.
And as Parliamentary Secretary for Women's Health, I’m also proud to be working to progress the Labor Government’s work to improve women’s access to quality healthcare.
I believe in the power of community. So I’ll always listen and work with you to stand up for the things we care about.
Together, we can keep delivering a bright future for the inner north.
Delivering the opening address for the Victorian Women’s Health Services Network Conference 2025.
Speaker, I rise to celebrate all things community sport in the Northcote Electorate!
It’s been a BIG start to the year - kicking off with the Annual Indigenous Cricket Round at Bill Lawry Oval. This event brought cricketers together to celebrate First Nations culture through sport. A huge shout-out to Northcote Cricket Club for making it such a special day.
Recently I met with Thornbury High School parents Jessamy and Nina, alongside the mayor and deputy mayor of Darebin, and Thornbury High Assistant Principal Paul Mameghan to discuss road safety priorities for students and the school community.
I rise in support of the Justice Legislation Amendment (Anti-vilification and Social Cohesion) Bill 2024. It is legislation that will deliver the strongest anti-vilification protections in Victoria’s history, giving effect to 15 recommendations of the 2021 Victorian parliamentary inquiry into anti-vilification protections.
Our Labor government is committed to making renting easier, fairer and cheaper, and that is why I am also honoured that this is my first speech as the Parliamentary Secretary for Renters.
I rise to contribute to the debate on the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Amendment (Paramedic Practitioners) Bill 2024. This bill represents a landmark moment in the evolution of health care in Victoria.
I rise to pay tribute to Peter Yiannoudes, a pioneer, a visionary and an enduring inspiration whose passion for cinema shaped Northcote’s soul and left an indelible mark on Melbourne’s cultural landscape.
