Portfolio — 14 May 2026

Tribune’s note

Attorney-General Michelle Rowland had an active day across both ministerial communications and the House chamber. Outside parliament, she announced the second phase of the 'One Talk at a Time' child safety campaign and launched the $21.4 million Justice Navigator pilot in Victoria — two measures that together operationalise a dual-track approach of public prevention and specialised survivor support.

In the chamber, she opposed amendments to the Secrecy Provisions Amendment Repealing Offences Bill, arguing the proposed harm-threshold change conflicts with the Attorney-General's Department's own review and would not address the gaps exposed by the PwC incident, while reaffirming the government's commitment to a second tranche of Public Interest Disclosure reform and stronger press-freedom protections.
