Melbourne voters had a huge impact on the national agenda by voting Green in 2010 and again in 2013. Adam has been our strong independent voice in the middle of Federal Parliament fighting for what matters, including:
- Securing $20m to restore and develop our local heritage in the Royal Exhibition Building.
- Helping families with free dental care – 3.4 million children from low and middle income families can now access Medicare-funded dental care, and $500m has been invested in reducing waiting lists and training health workers, as a result of the Greens-Labor Agreement in the last Parliament
- Establishing the Melbourne Employment Forum to enhance migrant employment opportunities.
- Giving single parents on Newstart greater working rights and building momentum for a $50 per week increase for jobseekers and youth allowance recipients.
- Increasing protection for fire fighters who contract cancer in the line of duty.
- Progressing plans to construct High Speed Rail from Melbourne to Brisbane.
