Senator Rachel Siewert’s Farewell Speech
For 16 years, Rachel has been a force of nature in the Senate and has made an immeasurable contribution to the community, to the Greens movement and to Australian democracy. However the time has come for her to leave Parliament and take some much needed rest.
On Wednesday, Rachel will deliver her farewell speech in the Senate. Watch her live as she reflects on her amazing 16 years in the Senate.
Rachel has been a leading voice in Parliament for fairness, leading the campaign to increase Newstart and JobSeeker, and fighting the punitive measures successive Governments have imposed on some of the most vulnerable in our community.
It goes without saying that Rachel’s departure is a huge loss to the Senate and the Australian community.
