• Simplifying Climate Change Politics

  Tuesday, 3 August 2010

  The starting point for Labor is that climate change is real and caused by human activity – and that yes we must act to address this problem.
  
  That human activity has historically been an essential part of our economic development. 
   
  But we know we must delink our economic security from these sources of pollution – for the sake of our environment and climate and our economy.

• National Conference GLBTI Equality

  Saturday, 1 August 2009

  If there is one theme that has permeated this conference and the policy platform we have been discussing, it is ensuring a fair go for working families.
  At no time have we stated or intimated that some working families are excluded from that fair go.
  25% of same-sex couples have children.
  They too are Australian working families.
  We need to offer them a fair go, not to treat them as second class citizens.
