That the House of Representatives urge the Government to fund and promote events relating to a new, annual National Family Day, preferably on 11 November.

👍 For Kiri N. 18 Sept 2026

A funded day that normalises parents and families spending a day together, with employers given a reason to participate, beats another campaign telling us families matter. Low cost, real impact.
