Hey Reader,

I'm excited to share I'll be returning to East Vic Park for the fourth People's Bench of the year. It's a chance to share your ideas, raise concerns, and have a direct conversation with me, whether it's on the cost of living crisis, grad unemployment, government policy, or you just need to vent. I'll be there for all of it.

📍John Macmillan Park, Kent St, East Victoria Park WA 6101​
📅 Sunday 27 September​
⏰ 9am – 12pm

This is a free community event and open to everyone. No bookings are required, just come along, enjoy the vibes and join the convo.

I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

Mum Walk at Scarborough

Tomorrow, Aaliyah and I will be joining over 50 Perth mums, bubs and prams for a walk along Scarborough Beach, hosted by the charity Mum Walk from 10am.

90% of Australian mums report feeling lonely after birth, and loneliness is one of the biggest risk factors for postnatal depression. Mum Walk exists to change that, running free weekly walks across the country so mums can connect and build community.
​
If you or someone you know could use a community like this, you can find your local Mum Walk at mumwalk.org.

I'm looking forward to spending the morning with the group and hearing firsthand what real support for new mums looks like. It ties directly into the Senate Inquiry into Postpartum Care, and conversations like these are exactly what will help shape it.
