If you’re a developer in this city whether it’s Geocon or a community club, you don’t get to build without giving back. Developers are raking in profits while Canberrans are left to deal with the fallout: gridlocked traffic, unaffordable housing, and more gambling harm. 1/2

Friends, if you’re feeling worried about the climate crisis—you’re not alone. 🚨 Here in Canberra, we’ve seen what strong community support for Greens policies can achieve. But while our city leads the way, Labor keeps dragging its feet—and honestly, they’re risking taking us backwards. 👎

Our team kicked off the week at the Early Morning Centre, cooking up our own take on spaghetti bolognese (with a vegan twist), garlic bread and cookies + ice cream 🍝✨

Tonight, the Greens have secured significant concessions from Labor on their unfair health levy. Not only have we reduced it from $250 to $100, but we’ve also secured commitment to partially adopt our policy to tax big corporations so they can pay their fair share to fund services we need. 🧵1/4

This week Labor and the Liberals have announced their new housing ‘policies’—and needless to say it’s another drop in the bucket compared to action we need to tackle housing.

🚨THIS MORNING🚨The government has allowed destructive development to begin on the ecologically significant Ainslie Volcanics site—and brave environmental protestors have now been arrested for protecting the area.

🎶*insert clever fifty cent VengaBus joke that I couldn’t quite figure out*🎶✨IMAGINE✨ if we had fifty-cent bus fares for everyone in our city! (1/7)

Canberra took a stand against hate and the politicisation of children's healthcare today! 400 people! DURING the multiculti and lifeline book fare!!! Love this powerful community!!! @transjusticeau.bsky.social @alexandranathema.bsky.social @lauranutallgreens.bsky.social @shanerattenbury.bsky.social

A blast from the past I found in our @actgreens party office on Lonsdale St. in Braddon! ⏱️🔥This is from 2008, back when I was first elected. A lot has changed since then, but unfortunately a lot has also stayed the same. (1/6)

The start of February is a great time to grab your local Greens representative aside for a chat about absolutely anything! No matter whether it’s for big parliament, or ✨small parliament✨ — we’ve got you covered from EPIC all the way down to Lyneham! 🔥 🧵1/2

This morning, your @actgreens community candidates and elected representatives gathered outside the ACT Magistrates Court to stand in solidarity with the @risingtide.aus climate protesters facing prosecution. ✊ 🧵1/7

Have you seen the new proposal to build five-hundred new homes in the heart of the city? It seems great, except for the fact the government has deliberately ruled out including public housing, literally crossing it off as an option. 🧵1/5

Tomorrow is a day of mourning for many of Australia’s First Peoples. January 26, 1788, marks the beginning of a brutal history of dispossession and violence against Aboriginal peoples. 🧵 1/3

For all of you voting in the seat of Canberra, meet our federal candidate team for the upcoming election! ⭐️ These amazing people have been elected to run by a grassroots, community membership of nurses, teachers and more! 🧑‍⚕️🧑‍🏫 🧵1/3
