A very important message from the Minister for Children Lizzie Blandthorn MP about the importance of Toy Libraries.
Children learn important skills through play. Toys are an important part of this as children learn to self regulate their behaviours. Sensory toys help with this, as children learn how to cope with disappointment when things don’t go to plan or go their way.
Some adults, could also do with learning these skills. They are skills that can still be acquired in adulthood.
Labor understands this. The Liberals and One Nation never will.
Take a listen.

Today’s @LiberalVictoria under Jess Wilson is running Chat GPT questions to stop electoral funding integrity in the middle of the night!
No wonder One Nation are eating them alive. #springst

We're extending the off-the-plan Stamp Duty Concession for another year, to get more Victorians into homes.
This means cutting upfront costs, speeding up building, and an average saving of $25,000 for homebuyers.
Anyone buying an eligible apartment, unit or townhouse off-the-plan can claim the concession – not just first home buyers and owner-occupiers.
And we've removed the cap, so that the concession applies to properties of any value.
I spoke in Parliament this week about Parsa - a 6 yr old, non-verbal boy who went missing in the Dandenong Ranges
The search for him was huge- approx 200 people, including Police, SES, CFA & community members
16 hrs later he was found
Thanks to all 🙏🏼

30,000 meals every week - FareShare runs an incredible operation to help feed Victorians doing it tough. Big thanks to the Abbotsford team for having me along.
Did you feel the earth move across the Dandenong Ranges?

It's Election Day!
Today's the day Australia decides who will lead us through the next three years.
The choice to me is clear - only an Albanese Labor Government can steer us in the right direction for a fairer, more prosperous and progressive future
@AlboMP
@AustralianLabor
Great to catch up with my friends, Mary Doyle MP for Aston & Naomi Oakley, candidate for Casey at Boronia and Lilydale early voting centres
Vote 1 for Mary Doyle for Aston and Vote 1 for Naomi Oakley for Casey - and help re-elect the Albanese Labor Government 💪🏼❤️
Absolute cause for celebration!
A great education system addresses the different needs & strengths amongst its student cohort
For too long, many students felt VCE simply wasn't for them.
Our Government has worked tirelessly to change that.
The results speak for themselves
I am incredibly proud of our VCE Vocational Major - the biggest reform to senior secondary schooling in a generation.
I’ve always said there has to be a pathway for everyone in the #EducationState and students like Florence from Coburg High are showing the way in pursuit of her dream job as an animal carer in a wildlife sanctuary.
Student achievement comes in many forms beyond a study score and all forms of excellence should be celebrated.
Victoria is the only state to have grown vocational education and training for the past four consecutive years.
Our Year 12 completion rates have gone from 91.7 per cent in 2021, to 97.5 per cent in 2024, and our Vocational Major enrolments have surge 28 per cent from 2023 to 2024.
This is what Labor Governments do. We invest in our future and make sure no one is left behind.

Australians have a real choice this Saturday.
To continue building Australia’s future, or go back to the past.
I held two Women's Pain forums in Monbulk last year
They were powerful gatherings where women spoke - some for the first time ever - about the medical misogyny, the indifference, the dismissal of their experiences of pain

As Elaine Scarry once put it: “To have great pain is to have certainty; to hear another person has pain is to have doubt.” The Victorian government’s Inquiry into Women’s Pain offers an opportunity to overcome that doubt. satpa.pe/xKrTiMm
There is no place for this behaviour and especially not at one of the most sacred sites, during the most sacred of times.
The disrespect these cowards have shown is repugnant.

A vote for Labor is a vote for the Australian way. Trusting our people and backing our values. Building Australia’s future.
This is great news. It goes without saying the the quality of what we teach our teachers has a direct bearing on their capacity to teach effectively.
As a former teacher, I'm thrilled these reforms are taking place.
High quality education is fundamental to a thriving society
Across Australia education ministers and leaders are making subtle but important changes to the education narrative in our nation.
Thanks @AlexCrowe12 for shining some light on the most ambitious reforms to initial teacher education in decades. #AusPol #SpringSt

"There is no union without workers, and there are no free workers without a union" - Pope Francis
Requiescat in pace ✝️
Across Victoria, and around the world, Catholics are united as they mourn the death of His Holiness, Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome.
Pope Francis was a leader of the Church, and a leader of the world.
He was a tireless advocate for the poor. A relentless voice for the marginalised.
He believed that caring for the sick was part of the Church’s essential mission – and that compassion for the vulnerable was core to the human condition.
He shared a message of peace, courage, and humility.
A message that has never mattered more.
I offer my sincere condolences to Catholic communities across Victoria as they grieve his profound loss.
May he rest in eternal peace.
