Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese today weighed in on Ms Khatoon s plight. The idea that we would put her in jail upon her return to Australia is quite extraordinary, Mr Albanese said.
He questioned why similar measures had not been applied to other countries. Australia has obligations to our citizens, to people who are Australians â not just to abandon them overseas, but then to threaten them is quite extraordinary action, he said, according to Nine newspapers. The government s got to justify how it is that the figures from India are similar to what they ve been in the past from the UK and the US, but we haven t seen these sort of measures.

Subscriber only Working families with two or more children in childcare will see big cuts to their childcare bills from July under radical budget changes designed to encourage mums back into the workforce. Under the changes to be unveiled on Sunday half of Australia s families with one child in care will have 95 per cent of their out-of-pocket expenses for any additional kids paid for by the Government. This will end the current situation which can see childcare costs for families double when they put a second child in care. The Government is also junking the cap on childcare subsidies of $10,560 after which parents earning more than $189,390 have to pay 100 per cent of child care fees.

The Hon Anthony Albanese, Leader of the Australian Labor Party, has delivered a message to Orthodox Christians for Easter, which you can read here-
On behalf of the Australian Labor Party, it gives me great pleasure to wish the Australian Greek community a happy and Holy Orthodox Easter.
After a year of so much grief and heartache, Easter brings us hope as we reflect on the powerful example of Jesus Christ and how, as He triumphed over death, He gave us love’s greatest victory.
We hold on to that sense of hope as Greece fights the third wave of COVID-19. We all keep Hellas in our prayers.
