Test Speech B

16 June 2020

I wanted to leave you with one assurance. I gave this assurance in the Parliament. Simon, Jared, Arthur and I were talking about it a moment ago as well. We will continue to fight for you. We will continue to make the case for you to be included in JobKeeper, for the workers at Virgin to be looked after, and for there to be a genuine plan for aviation, because you're important. Whether it's Anika, Anthony, Bart, or Pete and your union, we will never forget that recessions aren't about numbers on a spreadsheet. They're not some cold calculation, moving numbers around on a computer screen. Times like these are about real people in real communities like ours, like the one that Sitesh and I live in, and the communities that you're all from. It's about your families and your neighbours. It's about your jobs most of all, and how you look after the people that you love. We will never forget that in the Labor Party, even if the Government has forgotten that for now. And will fight for you every single day.
