We are so pleased that our campaign for emergency funding for cohealth has been successful, with the federal government hearing the community and ensuring GP funding until 31 July 2026. BUT we need a LONG-TERM solution and support from the Victorian Labor Government.

The Jacinta Allan Labor Government’s decision to introduce life sentences for children proves once again that Labor is only interested in cynical attempts to look tough - not implementing policies that actually work to improve community safety. 🧵 (1/4)

What’s happening in El-Fasher, West Sudan is appalling.
Bloodshed visible from space must never be normalised.
We are seeing massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
The RSF militia, backed by the UAE and foreign powers, are fueling this ongoing proxy war. 🧵

This is deeply concerning.
Cuts to health, cuts to education, and now cuts to foster care – this is not what looking after our kids looks like.

Substance abuse and mental health episodes should be met with a care-first public health response, not punitive policing that escalates and ends in tragedy.

For the sake of the survivors on the ground, who have been through years of horrific genocide campaign, I pray this is the end of their nightmare.

The UN has confirmed Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The Albanese and Allan Government must act now - stop the siege, end the two-way arms trade, and sanction Israel. Australia has a legal duty under the Genocide Convention.

Victorian children deserve a safeguarding system that leaves no room for predatory behaviour to take hold.
Now more than ever, we must ensure that our child safe frameworks and systems are not only vigilant in identifying risks, but also prompt and effective in taking decisive action.

The white supremacist violence we saw in Melbourne yesterday was disgraceful.
Far-right extremists marched with racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Indigenous hatred before attacking First Nations people at Camp Sovereignty.
Nazis have no place here. Our full solidarity is with those targeted.

Recognition of Palestine should have happened decades ago and is a fundamental right that the Australian Government has denied for too long.
Now we need action: Australia must sanction Israel & end the two-way arms trade.
Recognition won’t feed starving kids or stop the bombs.

The Israeli Government is starving Gaza.
Over 111 dead, and counting.
Children & elderly starving at record rates.
Enough food exists, but Israel blocks aid, and slaughters civilians seeking scraps.
This is deliberate mass starvation. A crime against humanity. An act of genocide.

More than 100 aid agencies, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Oxfam, say ‘our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away’
Palestine Red Crescent says the situation in Gaza is “only getting worse”, with spokesperson Nebal Farsakh calling it an “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe”.
Farsakh said in a video posted to X on Tuesday that there has been no food, clean water or medicine entering the Gaza Strip for more than four months.
This has resulted in a catastrophe where people are literally starving to death.
More people are being admitted to hospitals with malnutrition especially among children, pregnant women and the elderly. Continue reading...

Private childcare has become a money-making machine, prioritising profit over caring for children.
Shocking abuse, like what was revealed last week, doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s a product of a sector that cuts corners, breaches staffing ratios & neglects child safety for the sake of corporate 💰

In a family violence crisis, they should be doing everything in their power to protect women & children, not shirking responsibility on key safety measures.

That these fascists can openly rally, spew hatred, and target minority communities without immediate consequences is a complete failure of this government.
