25.01.2022 Early childhood education workers should be paid like teachers. This means we need a massive boost in federal funding to create a quality free public system for all kids. What could be more important if we want an equitable Australia?
25.01.2022 The more we dig into icare, and the billions lost from the scheme, the more we find. We urgently need to close the loophole that allows icare to enter into multi million dollar contracts without even a tender. This is urgent business.
23.01.2022 Here’s some straight up coverage of the excellent Extinction Rebellion protest out the front of News Corp Headquarters on Friday. This was matched by actions across the country as they dumped a ton of manure and said, quite literally, stop telling bullsh*t about climate change.
22.01.2022 Australia is on the wrong track...
21.01.2022 This bill is truly shit.
20.01.2022 Year after year we see the needless painful deaths of horses exploited for entertainment and gambling profit at the Melbourne Cup. Say 'nup' to the Cup this year by joining our online rally while the race is run. Register: https://us02web.zoom.us//register/WN_sZxpyNvwSYe6fU0ACy2osA
19.01.2022 Yes please. We need your help!
16.01.2022 Postcode and parental wealth should not determine a child’s life chances
14.01.2022 Free Julian Assange
14.01.2022 Black Lives Matter
14.01.2022 Yet again no significant investment in public housing by the state government as the waiting list of people desperate for a secure home grows
12.01.2022 This austerity public sector pay decision will hurt ordinary people and depress retail spending. Short-sighted, like the cut to JobSeeker
12.01.2022 Instead of more fossil fuels we should be nationalising the electricity grid and building publicly owned renewable energy power by a jobs guarantee. The private market will never meet the need for affordable energy or generate jobs for everyone who wants one.
12.01.2022 It can be tricky to understand a politician! Here’s some tips
10.01.2022 "It's not a symbol, we don't want a painting on the wall. We need tangible targets and a ministerial decision on a commitment to social and affordable housing f...or Aboriginal people," Mr Roberts said. It's clear this needs to be a priority, and it's clear this should have been a priority decades ago," Newtown Greens MP Jenny Leong said. So pleased to have supported this campaign from the start - show your support and sign the petition (in comment below)
07.01.2022 This is ‘parkland’ WestConnex style... All credit to polluting toll road consortium led by Transurban and the privatisation obsessed NSW Liberal/National Government. Thanks to local resident and community activist Anne Picot for speaking out:... St Peters resident Anne Picot said there was "no way" the site was close to being ready to become usable parkland for the local community. "It is just a joke, frankly. In heavy rain events, it is quite clear that that mound is not stable," she said. It’s just not good enough. Our community deserves better.
06.01.2022 The oldest continuous culture on the planet
05.01.2022 Pre-primary education should be the highest priority - and free for all kids
04.01.2022 Show your solidarity with super-exploited food delivery drivers and the Transport Workers Union - TWU campaign to organise and protect them
03.01.2022 Tomorrow the Liberals will push 1.8 million into poverty by cutting the JobSeeker payment by $300. Meanwhile the 25 richest Australians have added $25bn to their combined wealth during the COVID-19 pandemic.
03.01.2022 It's time to fix the rate of JobSeeker to make sure no one who needs income support is living in poverty. Let's get this done. greens.org.au/jobseekerbill
01.01.2022 ‘Greens MP David Shoebridge on Tuesday moved an amendment to a parliamentary bill which would see the funding for the ICAC allocated from this month's state budget. ‘Mr Shoebridge said the upper house was prepared to sit for as long as it takes to pass the amended bill, even if that means potentially delaying the payment of wages to their fellow MPs.’
