It’s exceptionally hard to reach the top of your sport - nearly impossible to stay there for thirteen years. But Meg Lanning did it, and she changed the sport of cricket forever. For ten years (182 games straight!), Meg was captain, leading Australia to five World Cup wins and retiring as our greatest women’s run scorer. Thank you, Meg.

Juggling work and caring responsibilities is a familiar hustle for a lot of parents. That’s why representation in Parliament matters! Today, Minister @AmandaRishworth introduced legislation to increase paid parental leave. It will also help parents share caring responsibilities (if that’s their preference), giving families more flexibility and time together.
