The gov has approved 32 new coal & gas projects, & when you count the emissions from our coal and gas exports, 🇦🇺 is the 2nd LARGEST CLIMATE POLLUTER ON 🌎.
The people are here at Rising Tide to shut down the biggest problem and build the biggest solution. It’s amazing to see.

An honour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pathways to Politics for Women.
We need to actively dismantle barriers that stop women of diverse backgrounds from leading - bc it's those women fighting hardest for gender equality & politics that put people before corporations. 🌏

The Greens took a plan to address the national crisis of family, domestic and sexual violence to the last election.
We need the Labor to come to the table with funding.

There's an entire shopping list of things we could fix with even a fraction of the money we are throwing at AUKUS.
Instead, this gov't is throwing our collective wealth into a project that fuels an arms race and shackles us to an increasingly unstable US.

Treaty in Victoria is a historic win for truth and justice, led by First Nations peoples who've fought for generations.
But the work doesn't end here. There's still a long road ahead for real truth-telling and self-determination.
Treaty must mean real power, not just promises.

The Victorians government's "adult time for kids" isn't about safety.
Experts are clear: harsher sentences just lead to more reoffending, not less.
This is politics at its worst, bowing to the far right & doing nothing to make communities safer.

Labor's pushing their environment reform laws as "common sense".
But making native forest logging and polluting fossil fuel projects easier isn't common sense.
All the Greens want are nature laws that actually protect nature. Pretty simple, right?

Frankly, the PM failing to attend this year's COP is a massive cop out.
He should be doing everything to secure the bid to host COP31 in Adelaide next year, which could be a defining moment for Australia to show genuine leadership & put an end to dirty new coal and gas projects.
