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. 🌏

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.

As Pacific climate leader Joseph Sikulu said, “If anybody is owed a COP in this world, it’s the Pacific.”
Leaders in the Pacific have deep, proven climate credentials on the world stage. They should lead alongside us.

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?

On Monday, I tabled the cohealth petition with 6,000+ signatures calling on the state and federal govt to keep the doors to these vital health centres open.
Without urgent intervention, 12,000+ people will lose access to affordable, essential healthcare.
Labor: do the right thing. Save cohealth.

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.

You were founded by farmers, workers, & community leaders who understood that rural ppl deserve a strong voice — a party that would fight for their prosperity not just today, but for generations.

Time and time again, we see the vast wealth in our country (and the world), yet only a handful actually benefit. We have to ask: who is our economy & country working for?
Not the student pulling double shifts to pay for uni, or the mum who sees her entire wage go to childcare.

95% of childcare centres opened over the past decade are run by providers trying to make a profit.
The direction is clear: we’re moving further away from a system that serves children and families, and deeper into one that serves balance sheets.

They rake in millions in bonuses even as their companies rack up fines for misconduct or face safety breaches.

Treaty has just passed Victoria's Parliament!
This is the first time in Australia's history that a Treaty (a legitimate agreement btwn First Peoples and VIC gov't) has been enshrined in law.
Thank you to generations of First Nations ppl who have fought for this historic moment.

Labor's new "enviro" laws do nothing to protect nature and the climate, while fast tracking approvals for big business.
The Greens will not rubber stamp laws that fail to protect our native forests and climate. We need laws that protect nature, not make way for big business to make big profits.

Today's Four Corners reporting has again laid bare the deep issues around quality and safety in our early childhood education and care system.

Her love for the planet and all of its inhabitants showed us the revolutionary power of kindness - and the power one person can have in fighting for a better world.

of this precious habitat immediately.
