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.
The Allan Labor Government is opening doors for Victorian homebuyers near train stations and tram corridors.
Premier Jacinta Allan and Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny visited Kew today to release draft maps showing proposed heights and boundaries for 25 of 50 new Train and Tram Zone Activity Centres.
The plans will help deliver more than 300,000 additional homes close to jobs, services and transport by 2051.
A major milestone in Victoria’s decade-long Treaty process has been achieved with the Victorian Government and First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria reaching in-principle agreement on Australia’s first Treaty.
The first negotiated Statewide Treaty Agreement brings together First Peoples, through the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, and the Victorian Government, to build a new relationship based on respect, trust and integrity. It acknowledges our past and is a chance for all Victorians to move forward together.
The Albanese Labor Government and Allan Labor Government are delivering a new free community-based service to support Victorians experiencing psychological distress.
Victorian Minister for Mental Health Ingrid Stitt and Federal Assistant Minister for Social Services and the Prevention of Family Violence Ged Kearney today launched the Distress Brief Support program trial in Darebin
Speaker, I am pleased to rise to speak on the Domestic Animal Amendment (Rehoming Cats and Dogs and other Matters) Bill 2025.
This is a bill about cats and dogs, but really, it is about the bonds that shape our lives. It’s about muddy paw prints on a freshly mopped floor, the jingle of a collar as a dog bounds to the door, the soft weight of a cat curled up beside you after a long day.
My question is to the Minister for Health. How is the new Victorian Virtual Women’s Health Clinic supporting women and girls in the Northcote electorate?
The Allan Labor Government is transforming women’s health and this virtual clinic is part of a huge suite of new services we’re opening to make sure that wherever you live, you can access free, expert advice, treatment and care.
Speaker, in the inner north and across Victoria, First Peoples are making history.
On Saturday, the Fitzroy Stars won their first men’s senior premiership since 1990!
It was Eddie Betts, best on ground with four goals. It was Allan Norris in his 200th game. It was Lionel Proctor finishing a lifetime of service with a premiership medal. And it was Coach Neville Jetta and Captain Kain Proctor leading their side to glory!
Speaker, my question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport.
What evaluation measures will the Department of Transport and Planning use in forming its advice on proposed restrictions for e-bikes and e-scooters on public transport?
I want to congratulate the Holy Monastery of Axion Estin for the incredible Northcote festival they hosted this Sunday, which I attended.
