I grew up in an inner city housing commission and I was the beneficiary of access to tertiary education because of the visionary policies of Labor governments. My parents instilled in me the importance of giving something back to the country that had given us so much as migrants - to make a contribution to Australia. The Labor value of equality of opportunity means something to millions of Australians who benefited no matter where they came from or where they started out.

That's why I'm committed to putting Wills first.
