Welcome
Hello and welcome,
I’m Josh, your Federal Member of Parliament for Macnamara.
This website is set up to help you access government services, information or support. But if there’s something you cant find here, please call my office on (03) 9534 8126 or send me an email – josh.burns.mp@aph.gov.au
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, governments have supported Australians get through this crisis.
Government must also play a role in rebuilding the economy and getting lives back on track.
That’s why I’m focused on supporting and creating jobs, affordable housing, better health services and a more sustainable future.
Together, we can build a fairer society and stronger economy.
Take care of yourself and loved ones
Josh

Well done, Victoria.
70% is an important milestone.
Thank you to every single person who has had vaccine or has already made a booking for your jab.
With this new target hit, some restrictions are easing from the Victorian Government.
What this means for Metro Melbourne:
•5km radius is now 10km
•2 hours exercise is now •4 hours exercise or recreation
•Fully vaccinated - up to 5 people can gather outdoors from two households
•Not fully vaccinated - 2 people can gather outdoors for exercise or recreation
•Outdoor personal training / exercise classes can resume for 2 people
•Skate parks & outdoor exercise equipment open
•Real estate inspections open by appointment only
We have more to do and more restrictions to ease but we'll get there, together.

"It makes no sense economically and it makes no sense because we have better, cheaper and more viable energy alternatives right now.
To quickly deliver the cheap, reliable, low emission energy our country needs, we need to look to renewables, not nuclear.
Reducing emissions is a race, it’s time we caught up."
My piece in @reneweconomy calling out the Morrison-Joyce Government's obsession with nuclear power (link to the full article in my bio).

Macnamara, we are making good progress with ~60% of us having had at least one dose of the vaccine.
But we need to get this number up, and we need to get the fully vaccinated number up.
I know accessing vaccines has been an issue but finally supply is increasing - so please make a plan and book your vaccine to help us get out of this cycle of lockdowns.
You can book your vaccine by calling 1800 675 398 or visiting the link in my bio.
Or you can also book through your local participating GP and pharmacy.
Let's get this done and let's get back to our favourite local spots to eat, drink and spend time with family and friends.
