With much-loved Senator Janet Rice leaving the Senate, Qld’s Senator Penny Allman-Payne is going to be the Greens new Social Services spokesperson. We know you’re going to do a wonderful job Penny 💚
More from Senator Penny Allman-Payne:
Poverty payments, crushing mutual obligations, a broken bureaucracy – the challenges are vast & the inertia is overwhelming.
The Greens will keep fighting for everyone caught in the teeth of this inhumane system.
I follow in the footsteps of two outstanding women in our movement who have held this portfolio. WA Senator Rachel Siewert was a warrior for the most marginalised & vulnerable members of our community, and Senator @janetricegreens continued that mission when Rachel passed the torch in 2021.
A heartfelt thank you to my friend and colleague Janet, who after a decade of service to the people of Victoria will be pedalling away from Parliament House for the final time this week.
I’ll do my best to live up to to the high standards you’ve always set 💚
