I’ve spent my life supporting working people - especially those in low-paid or insecure work.
Every Australian should have access to a good, secure job. No worker should struggle to put food on the table or support their family.
I’m fighting for secure jobs, for a fair day’s pay, and for strong workplace rights. Working Australians deserve no less.
Secure jobs for every worker.
When I was a member of the Senate’s Job Security Committee, I heard firsthand reports of wage theft, exploitation, and abuse of working people.
Every worker in this country should have access to a secure job, should get treated fairly at work, and take home a fair day’s pay.
For too many people, this isn’t the case.
Standing up for migrant workers.
Many of Australia’s biggest industries rely on migrant workers to get the job done. Every year, thousands of people come to Australia to take up seasonal or short-term work, and help keep our economy going.
But too often, these workers are treated appallingly.
Whether it’s dozens of workers living in one small house, stolen wages, extraordinarily long hours - many workers suffer exploitation and abuse.
Every worker in this country deserves to be safe at work and to be paid properly - no matter where they come from.
