23.01.2022 We must stand with the HK residents affected by laws designed to quash their right to democracy People in Kong Kong can now face life in jail for breaking new security laws imposed by the Chinese Government. #standwithhongkong
23.01.2022 We need a Green recovery not a corrupt fossil fool power grab
22.01.2022 REALLY?! The @nswnationals are threatening to split from the Government... over protecting koalas. Over protecting remaining koalas that survived unprecedented ...and catastrophic bushfires over summer. Let’s just protect koala habitat already and stop using these little guys, who are facing extinction, as a political football. See more
21.01.2022 Today I introduced a bill to remove the toxic influence of dirty donations on political decision making. The Greens will keep fighting to clean up politics, let’s see whether the major parties will get on board ...
20.01.2022 Some $40million of your taxes have gone here and, unless you are part of a soccer club, you won't be getting your moneys worth. 6-7 fields within a 3 km radius.... Plus more to come once St George Stadium, Barton Park and Riverine Park are redeveloped. By the time the later 3 are redeveloped, EVERY. SINGLE. PARK. large enough for a soccer field in this vicinity, will have a synthetic soccer field on it. And speaking of waterways, all of these parks have been built next to critical water ways - Cooks River, Scarbourough Park, Muddy Creek - and draining microplastics straight out into Botany Bay.
19.01.2022 BREAKING: Here's the Greens plan to overhaul Queensland's planning laws to put people before developer profit Right now those laws are designed to benefit ...property developers because Labor wrote them in the same year they took over $270,000 in developer donations. Development is important. But it needs to be done sustainably, where residents get a real say and certainty, and developers contribute to crucial public infrastructure. We’d end special deals for developers and close the loopholes that have shut locals out of decisions on major developments like TriCare, the QASMT expansion, and the Toondah Harbour proposal out at Cleveland.

18.01.2022 The Liberals 20 year long deficit and public debt scare mongering rhetoric has been laid to rest. Today we heard the budget figures but still no bold plans for... getting people into secure jobs. Cutting taxs and cutting spending is only going to make the recovery harder. Where's the plan to recover?? "We can get people to work creating public assets that will last generations, like building 500,000 publicly owned homes to wipe out housing waiting lists or investing in the businesses and technologies we need to create a green manufacturing renaissance. " @adambandt The Greens have laid out or plans for a Green New Deal and our Next Gen Garauntee. https://greens.org.au/greennewdeal https://greens.org.au/campaigns/nextgen
18.01.2022 BREAKING: Polling in Maiwar shows a huge swing to the Greens and puts us in the lead 6 weeks out from the October election! This tells us that our hard work is... really paying off, and Greens politics are popular and resonating with a huge range of people on the west side, despite the LNP's well-funded attacks. Not only have we seen this huge swing in Maiwar, we're also on track to win both McConnel and South Brisbane. But a lot can happen in 6 weeks, and we're not taking anything for granted. We know the major parties have massive election war chests filled with donations from big corporations. They tend to concentrate their biggest attacks and advertising in this final period, so we'll need to give it everything we've got to fight back. If you want to help us keep the momentum up, and show the LNP that ordinary people standing together is far more powerful than their big money and divisive campaigns, join us as a volunteer for the final stretch: https://www.michaelberkman.com.au/volunteer
16.01.2022 We need a growing Green presence in government to offset NewsCorps propaganda and Labor’s lurching to the right, congratulations QLD Greens

12.01.2022 The Liberal Government’s decision to hike fees and further cut funding to universities cannot be allowed to proceed, and I pledge to fight in Parliament to bloc...k this shameful attack on students and Universities. Everyone should have access to a world-class education without going into enormous debt. The Greens would provide free undergraduate university and free TAFE for all students, and boost university funding by 10% per student to make sure that all students receive high-quality teaching and facilities. We would do all of this, and more, by making big corporations finally pay their fair share.
11.01.2022 May the sustainable force be with the rise of the Greens vote today in QLD, thanks to all the campaigners, door knockers and everyone promoting a future of equality and sustainability that have given us all inspiration in the lead up to today...
11.01.2022 Did you know that in Qld no political party or candidate can ever give your vote to anybody else? But Labor and the LNP love to stoke the myth that a vote for ...the Greens is a vote for another party, and that Greens will give your preferences to someone else. They’ll also tell you that voting for Greens is a ‘wasted vote’. These furphies have been peddled by them for so long they almost feel real. Unsurprisingly, they say it to scare people into sticking with them rather than voting for Greens. This election it’s beginning to look like Labor’s only campaign tactic in the South East, to keep Greens from winning seats, is to tell bigger, shinier porkies. Pretty sad and grubby. And we expect more to come from the LNP too. I guess they’ll do whatever it takes to hang onto their seats.. Politics doesn’t have to be this way. So in case you’re left wondering about any of this, especially after Labor’s whopper today about Greens imaginary ‘preference deals’ with the LNP, here’s what’s real: A vote 1 for the Greens is, well, a vote for the Greens (yay!). You get to choose the preference order you want, and by law nobody can tell you otherwise (it’s why the preference order on a How-to-Vote card can only ever be a suggestion!). No party or candidate can ever give your vote or your preferences to anyone else. Like, NEVER. That’s the law. (Let’s face it, if it were possible Labor & the LNP would already being doing it to stop Greens votes surging!). We Queensland Greens have categorically ruled out any ‘preference deal’, power-sharing deal, coalition agreement, or guarantee of confidence or supply with the LNP or One Nation. Greens members in every branch across Queensland have voted to put One Nation and the LNP last on ‘how-to-vote’ suggestion cards for every seat in Queensland. Because of the LNP’s commitment to job cuts, privatisation, and cuts to essential services, the Greens would never provide confidence to an LNP government.
11.01.2022 Support for a million people who are out of work? Or tax-cuts for millionaires. Guess which the Liberals are backing? The Government *should* be investing in big projects to create hundreds of thousands of good jobs and build prosperity for the future.
10.01.2022 Cash for access The big parties are selling off our democracy to big corporations for thousands of dollars. Queensland deserves representatives who are l...istening to the community and not simply the highest bidder. Unlike Labor + the Libs, the Greens proudly don’t take corporate donations, meaning we work for people, not profits.

06.01.2022 We need to stop vested interests being able to buy our democracy
05.01.2022 While the gas-dominated National COVID Commission is pushing the sector's narrow vested interests and trying to undo state based protections against methane ext...raction, Australia's manufacturing workers want one thing: more renewables. As we recover from this pandemic, public funds should be invested in public housing and job-creating projects, not handed over to big polluting corporations. I commend AMWU - Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union for calling for the government to invest in renewables, not fossil fuels. Gas is not only a toxic fossil fuel, it's becoming too expensive to compete with clean energy. More and more, industrial users are keen to make the switch to renewable energy, but are being hamstrung by a government desperate to prop up dirty coal, oil and gas. Transitioning our grid to 100% renewables won't just create hundreds of thousands of jobs as we build a clean energy grid, it will unlock our natural sun and wind resources to power Australia's manufacturing sector with all the energy we need for centuries to come. Let's do it.
