Member for Lalor, Joanne Ryan said she was privileged to have been appointed as Opposition Deputy Whip and Opposition Deputy Chair of Caucus.
“It is a great honour to serve the Australian Labor Party in these positions and to be able to play a greater role in the life of this Parliament,” Ms Ryan said.
“These roles will give me a unique chance to learn more about our Parliamentary system and engage with a broader spectrum of stakeholders.”
“In doing so, I can better represent and advocate for the issues that matter to our community.”
