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

Unlike these athletes, I won’t be running the marathon but it was good to have a run in the chilly Canberra fog.

Together with the McKell Institute and Labor for Housing, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to join us and Australia’s 26th Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, for the Melbourne launch of my policy piece, 'The Crumbling Australian Dream'.
The launch will be on Friday 28 May, at the St Kilda Town Hall, at 6pm.
My policy piece explores the barriers that prevent Australians from living in safe and secure housing and offers ideas of what we can do to address the growing need.
Due to COVID, places are very limited and booking online is essential.
Ticket link in bio.
Tickets are $10 and light refreshments are included.
This event will reach capacity very quickly so get in quick to avoid missing out. Tickets will not be available at the door.
I look forward to seeing you there,
Josh

It has been big day meeting and visiting local housing and homelessness services with @jasonclaremp
We saw the great work being done at our women's crisis accommodation centre, drop in food and engagement hubs and we had morning tea with public housing residents.
But one thing is absolutely clear - the demand is bigger than the supply.
And we need the Federal Government to do their bit to help.
