We are deeply shaken and outraged by what is being described as a deliberate attack on Helen Haines MP

Sadly, this comes amid growing concerns about violence against women in public life. Only a week ago, we discussed the serious escalation of violence against female MPs.

Violence has no place in our democracy. No one should face violence or intimidation for choosing to serve their community.

We are angry that women who step forward to serve their communities must also confront questions about their own safety. This cannot become an accepted part of public life. Women must be free to participate in our democracy without fear of violence, threats or intimidation.

Our hearts are with Helen, her family, staff and the Indi community. No one should have to endure such violence especially someone who has given so much to their community. 💜💜

October is Menopause Awareness Month. For too long, menopause has been met with silence, stigma and out-of-pocket costs.

Under the Albanese Labor Government:
✅ Medicare now covers menopause health assessments, and nearly 105,000 women have had one since July 2025
✅ the first new menopausal hormone therapies on the PBS in over 20 years
✅ Australia’s first national menopause and perimenopause awareness campaign

Women’s health is policy. That’s why we back Labor women. 💜

The Victorian Labor government has committed to free abortion if re-elected in November. This is a great achievement in reducing inequities to safe abortion access 💜

Thank you Vic Labor for making abortions safe and accessible no matter where you live or how much money you have 💜

We have advocated for this for a long time it is a great day for women’s health to see this happen.

We congratulate the Vic Labor Government on this excellent announcement! We have been advocating for fully funded abortions and for the post code and wealth discrimination to end! This is a great day for Victorian Women 💜💜💜

💜 When women support women, we all win.

A wonderful launch of PRESS, POSTS, AND POLKA-DOTS, the 2025/26 Julia Gillard Next Generation Internship report by Alex Cowen.

With former Prime Minister Julia Gillard joining more than 100 guests, we celebrated Alex’s important research into media treatment of women in politics and the impact of online misogyny.

Pamela Anderson, EMILY’s List Australia CEO said, "I’m particularly proud of the report’s recommendation to investigate law reform to better address online misogyny and strengthen protections for women in public life".

Congratulations, Alex, on an important contribution to advancing women’s political participation and leadership.

A huge Thank you to our Sponsors Slater and Gordon Lawyers and AWU - Australian Workers' Union

Australia just achieved its highest-ever global ranking for gender equality — 13th in the world, up from a record low of 50th in 2021. This isn't an accident. It's what happens when a government backs women with real policy. Because women win, when women lead.
