The Greens have secured enviro laws with new protections for native forests & stopped Labor from fast-tracking coal & gas.
We’ve got outcomes that forest campaigners have fought for across decades.
We’ve made it harder for big corporations to keep wrecking our environment.

SA's anti-abortion bill, blocking critical access to healthcare, was an attempt by conservatives to use women's rights as a political football.

As spectators cheer, horses bleed.
'Half Yours' was the winner of the Melbourne Cup today, but at what cost?
While Australia celebrates, horses suffer. There’s nothing to cheer for in an industry built on exploitation and death.
These horses would never choose to be here.
