The Albanese Labor Government has marked one year in office.
The last 12 months has seen the Albanese Labor Government pass signature pieces of legislation to build a better future for Australians living on the Central Coast.
Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP, reflected on the Federal Government’s first year in office.
“The Albanese Labor Government is a government of purpose. We have hit the ground running and we are not slowing down”.
“In the past 12 months, Australians and people living on the Central Coast, have seen the Federal Government continue to deliver on the commitments we took to the 2022 Federal Election”, Dr Reid said.
“We are delivering cheaper childcare, cheaper medicines, and fee-free TAFE”.
“The Federal Government has also legislated its ambitious climate change policy to ensure Australia reduces its greenhouse gas emissions by 43% and net zero by 2050”, Dr Reid said.
“We are also extending paid parental leave and easing the cost of living for Australians most in need, without adding to inflation”, Dr Reid said.
“Here on the Central Coast, 73,130 people will benefit from our record $3.5 billion investment in Medicare, by tripling the bulk billing incentive. Making it easier to see a doctor when you are sick”.
“Major commitments in Robertson, such as the $100 million upgrade of Avoca Drive through Kincumber, and sporting facility upgrades are progressing”, Dr Reid said.
“The region is on track to receive two Medicare Urgent Care Clinics that will take pressure off our emergency departments and primary health network”, Dr Reid said.
“Our region’s $40 million local roads package is also steaming ahead and I looking forward to local roads receiving much-needed renewals.
“Eligible small businesses will also receive bill relief of up to $650 from July 1, on top of our changes to the instant asset write-off threshold, these support packages highlight our government’s commitment to our nation’s biggest employer”, Dr Reid said.
“There is much more to do, and we are getting on with it”.
