Today I had the privilege of collaborating with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese 🇦🇺 — outlining national priorities to support all states including Victoria.

• Hon Jacinta Allan, Premier of Victoria — leading the state with focus and strategic growth.
• Jess Wilson MP, Leader of the Opposition, Victoria — sharing perspectives on policy and business environment and business and community leaders at the Future

Victoria event hosted by the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Herald Sun, driving discussion on sustainable growth and innovation for our state.

I was honoured to engage with:

• Will Irving, Chief Strategic Transactions Advisor, NBN — on connectivity and digital infrastructure.
• Rory Costelloe, Founder & Executive Director, Villawood Properties — on urban growth and housing challenges (featured at the event).
• Dr Werner van der Merwe, VP Innovation & Enterprise, Swinburne University — on education and enterprise collaboration.
• Martin Pakula, Chair, Crown Melbourne — industry leadership and economic contribution.
• Lorie Argus, Chief Executive Officer, Melbourne Airport — future transport and gateway strategy.
• Michelle Jablko, Chief Executive Officer, Transurban — on infrastructure and mobility solutions.

The energy and optimism from these discussions were inspiring. Victoria’s future is built on collaboration across public, private, and community sectors — and I’m proud to be part of that momentum.
