Criticised the budget for failing to address housing crisis, climate action, and public transport needs while punishing vulnerable groups including youth and those seeking gender-affirming care.
“I find it very ironic that the government can move so quickly when it comes to punishing children or stripping away their rights to gender-affirming care, but when it comes to the basic core work that they are elected to do, like ensuring we have enough classrooms for students to learn in, they are moving at a snail's pace.”— 2025-06-27View Hansard
