- The long and the short of it is, the Albanese government is just going to be better 😀
- I'm disappointed that Fiona Martin is doubling down on her accusations about me. Campaigns are stressful and she made a mistake. I’d just like her to apologise for mistaking me for a different person. The people of Reid deserve better than this.
- I want to thank the people of Reid for electing me and trusting me to be your representative in Federal Parliament. I will not let you down. The people of Reid have voted for fairness, for integrity in government and for a better future for all.
- Earlier today, the Prime Minister backed the inaccurate claims about me made by his candidate in Reid. That's frustrating and disappointing. I'm going to spend the next 9 days talking to voters about why we desperately need a change of government in this country.
- Thanks to my friend @TuLe_2166 for supporting me at prepoll today. Let's win Reid and win government for Labor!
- I am the daughter of migrants who came to this country for a better life. They left their homeland of Laos because of the Vietnam War and we are lucky Australia gave us refuge. 1/8
- Earlier today in a candidates’ debate, my opponent Fiona Martin accused me of having previously contested preselection in Fowler. I have never sought to run for Fowler. I live in Reid, my son goes to school in Reid, and I am excited by the opportunity to represent my community.
- I've received some messages saying I should not be the Labor candidate because of my Chinese heritage. People are entitled to their views, but I think it’s important I address the points head on because respect and inclusion matter. 1/7
- Running as the Labor candidate for the federal seat of Reid has been the ride of my life. But I couldn't have gotten this far without my husband Rui & son Max. They haven't seen much of me over the past few months but they've been my two biggest cheerleaders. Grateful to them
- Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes calls action on climate change a woke agenda. This was my response on @abcnews Afternoon briefing.
00:00 - Today...was something special. A majority Labor govt, signing the caucus book, being part of Labor's class of 2022 (the most diverse group of incoming parliamentarians) & getting to call people I've admired for so long my colleagues... Today is a day I will never forget.
- The moment my mum and dad got a wave from the @AustralianLabor federal caucus during my first speech. Thanks to my wonderful colleagues for making last night even more special for them.
