Macca and Madeleine are joined live in the studio by Josh Burns–Baby Announcement! ALP Conference
Burns was preselected as the Labor candidate for the seat in 2018. The preselection process was controversial, with a number of members claiming that Danby invited only a fraction of the members of the branch. The unsuccessful candidate, Mary Delahunty, accused the branch of working against her because she was the only woman and only non-Jewish person running for preselection.
The election was considered to be a three-cornered contest as both the Liberal Party and the Greens viewed themselves as a realistic chance of winning the seat from Labor. At the election Burns increased Labor’s primary vote and won the seat with a two-party-preferred swing of 5.04% in his favour, against Liberal candidate Kate Ashmor.
Burns serves as a member of the Parliament’s Joint Statutory Committee on Human Rights and on the House of Representatives Standing Committees on Environment and Energy and Communications and the Arts
As of July 2024, Burns is in a relationship with Victorian Animal Justice Party, MP Georgie Purcell. In July 2025, the couple announced that they are expecting a daughter. He has one daughter and was previously married.
