Catholic Social Services Australia (CSSA) extends its warmest congratulations to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Australian Labor Party on their historic first-term victory in the Federal Election.
The unprecedented scale of this electoral outcome marks a significant moment in Australia’s democratic journey. CSSA looks forward to the Government embracing this opportunity to undertake just and compassionate work that benefits all Australians, particularly those most vulnerable in our communities.
Dr Jerry Nockles, Executive Director of CSSA, praised the Government’s achievement and expressed enthusiasm for continued collaboration.
“On behalf of Catholic Social Services Australia and our member organisations across the country, I extend our sincere congratulations to Prime Minister Albanese and his Government on this remarkable electoral achievement,” said Dr Nockles.
“This historic victory provides an incredible opportunity to promote a more just, compassionate and inclusive Australia in service of the common good. We look forward to working constructively with the Government to advance policies that uplift the most vulnerable in our society.”
Dr Nockles emphasised CSSA’s commitment to partnering with the Government in service of the common good.
“Catholic social teaching reminds us that authentic development must be inclusive and benefit all members of society, particularly those experiencing marginalisation. We are eager to collaborate with the Government to ensure that, as our nation moves forward, we truly leave no one behind,” Dr Nockles said.
“The measure of good governance is how it serves those most in need. We are encouraged by the Government’s commitment to addressing inequality and building social cohesion, and we stand ready to contribute our expertise and experience to these vital national conversations.”
CSSA reaffirms its dedication to working alongside the Government to address the complex social challenges facing Australia, including housing affordability, aged care reform, and supporting those experiencing poverty and disadvantage.
