Ten prominent Australian women share the best advice their mothers gave them – and how that plays into their day-to-day life.
My mum, Dorothy, gave advice through her actions. She passed away in September 2018 on my last day working at the ABC’s London bureau. She worked as a volunteer for Meals on Wheels for decades until she was in her 80s, and would never miss a volunteer shift. She never big-noted herself.
Mum made me very aware that you could be a good person without needing everyone else to know. She was a woman of great grace. She also volunteered at a school for children with special needs. I remind myself that people don’t need to know what you do. You just need to try to make the world a better place or another person’s life a little bit easier.My mum, Sheila, was always telling me what to do! But when it came to advice, she taught me to be kind to others and never be jealous.

Australian people expect Labor to get maximum value: ChalmersTreasurer Jim Chalmers says the Australian people “expect” the Labor government to get the maximum value of money after the announcement of the 2023 federal budget put some infrastructure projects in review. “What we’re talking about with this short sharp review of infrastructure projects is making sure that we’re getting maximum value for money and that we are recognising the changing costs of projects which come from material shortages … and other pressures,” Mr Chalmers said during a media conference on Friday. “I think the Australian people and the people of Queensland expect us to try and get maximum value for money from our $120 billion ten-year infrastructure pipeline. “It’s not unusual for governments of either political persuasion to push projects back or forward to try and get value for money and to recognise the pressures on building and construction right now. “That's simply what we are doing.”
