📢 We’re excited to announce that Louise Miller-Frost MP, Member for Boothby, will officially open the AUSTRALIA VERSUS SPAIN Employment and Disability National Forum! 🎤
Louise has spent her entire working life delivering outcomes that make a real difference in people’s lives.
Louise left a job as CEO of St Vincent de Paul S.A to run for the seat of Boothby, winning the seat for Labor for the first time in 73 years.
Louise knows what it takes to get things done, delivering health services and support for older Australians and people with disability.
Louise supports economic opportunities for local businesses and spearheaded the retention and expansion of libraries, community centres, sporting clubs and open spaces.
A mum of triplet sons and a step-mum to three more sons, all now adults, Louise is a strong voice for Boothby, working every day at:
• easing cost of living pressures on families by delivering cheaper medicines, limiting power price increases and managing the budget responsibly
• taking real action on climate change
• strengthening Medicare, making it easier and more affordable to go to the doctor
• creating secure, well-paid jobs with better pay and conditions – by making things here in Australia and investing in fee-free TAFE and more university places
• bringing integrity back to our politics by establishing a National Anti-Corruption Commission.
Experienced and caring, Louise will work with anyone to make sure everyone in our community can get ahead.
Join us for a full day of powerful discussions, international perspectives, and innovative ideas on employment and disability. 🇦🇺🤝🇪🇸
