Australian Greens Senator for Lutruwita/Tasmania
Authorised by N McKim, Australian Greens
There’s more to do: ending so-called “conversion” practices, tackling hate crimes, and ensuring every Tasmanian can live safely and proudly.

The Greens will keep fighting until equality and justice are real for everyone. 🏳️‍🌈💚

Those cruel laws destroyed lives.

People hid who they were, lost jobs, families, friends and too many never recovered.

Expungement and redress can’t undo the pain, but they do mark a step toward healing and truth.

This reform was driven by the LGBTIQA+ community - especially Rodney Croome and Equality Tasmania - and championed in Parliament by the Greens.

It’s a nation-leading acknowledgment that simply being yourself should never have been a crime.

The Greens will use this inquiry to make the case for fairness: that someone who goes to work every day to earn a living should not be subsidising tax breaks for wealthy property speculators.

This inquiry will shine a light on how the CGT discount has driven inequality, funnelled money away from productive investment, and turned homes into financial assets instead of places of shelter and community.

The CGT discount is the most unfair and unequal tax break in the entire Commonwealth tax code, supercharging house prices and locking first homebuyers out.

Gender-affirming care saves lives. It helps trans and gender diverse people thrive, live with dignity, and be themselves. It should never be used as a political football.

The LNP must immediately reinstate gender-affirming care, and stop playing politics with people’s lives.

The LNP's actions here are truly disgusting, placing young trans folk in the middle of a culture war of their own creation, using them as a public punching bag, and knowingly risking young lives in the process.
October 28, 2025 at 11:55 PM
This decision is hateful and cruel, and goes against everything we know about gender-affirming care and its ability to save lives.
October 28, 2025 at 11:55 PM
The LNP can dress up their bigotry however they want. It’s all bullshit. They’re deliberately endangering trans kids to feed the culture-war machine.

They should reinstate gender-affirming care immediately. Stop the cruelty and stop playing politics with people’s lives.

The LNP waged this culture war with kids in their crosshairs. They were willing to risk trans kids’ lives for political points. It was hateful and cruel, which is exactly what they are.

Massive thanks to the activists from @bobbrownfoundation for their tireless courage and steadfast defence of this beautiful place.

This forest must be protected not destroyed, and we need to end native forest logging right around Australia.

Forestry Tasmania have made it clear that they intend to log this majestic forest, and the interest from Tasmania Police means they may move in any time to facilitate its destruction.

Labor promised zero extinctions. But while the koala edges closer to vanishing, their reforms to our nature laws are too weak and too slow. We need strong national laws, enforced by an independent watchdog, that actually keep trees standing.

Even worse, 98% of destroyed koala habitat is being bulldozed without assessment. Agriculture and native forest logging are driving the devastation, while Labor refuses to close the loopholes that allow it.
September 8, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Since 2011, almost 38,000 hectares of koala habitat has been signed off for destruction under Australia’s so-called “nature protection” laws. That is an area larger than two Royal National Parks.
