Asked a reasonable question about AUKUS and Trump. Was told it’s “not wise” — not “in our national interest” — to even ask. $368 billion on subs, no Plan B, and bipartisan silence? Yeah, right. Vote Independent. Because questions matter. #AUKUS #Goldstein #IndependenceWorks

Fact check: are Australia’s international students making it harder to find a rental property as Peter Dutton claims?

Labor copied our supermarkets policy 💚💚💚 greens.org.au/news/media-r...

Labor’s commitment to fully funding public schools isn’t in effect until 2034, the Greens would get this done now (also this has been a Greens policy and campaign for many years 🌿 greens.org.au/campaigns/sa...

The Right to Disconnect laws were won by the Greens following an extensive campaign and work spearheaded by Senator Barbara Pocock ✅ #Vote1Green greens.org.au/news/media-r...

In this last week of Parliament, Labor could be working with the Greens to wipe student debt, make GPs free, and put dental into Medicare. Instead, they're working with Dutton to gut our environment laws. In a cost of living crisis, Labor's priority is to send a species extinct.

The Greens are leading the way this election, and if you’re looking for some more homework to copy PM, let’s: 🦷 Get dental & mental into Medicare 📚 Wipe student debt 🏠 Cap rent increases 🚫 Stop new coal and gas

Greens pressure works! After adopting most of our plan to see the GP for free, Labor has now followed the Greens’ plan to make supermarket price gouging illegal.

Felt really good to kick off the first show for the year over the weekend at the St Kilda Festival. Alters sounding strong - already! We’ll be at Twilight at Taronga in Sydney, this Friday night. Come along. Tickets and info: petergarrett.com.au/tour

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

So we’re signed up for AUKUS with a country that openly defies/denies international law. That could take our defence forces to some even darker places.

I’m with her.

Bystander apathy from Labor and LNP off with the fairies. IMHO both major parties seriously need to take a hard look at their leadership example.

In Australia, more people work in arts and recreation (254,000) than the mining industry (220,000). While there is plenty of money to subsidise fuel for mining companies, cultural institutions have suffered from funding scarcities for decades, writes @alicektg.bsky.social in the Canberra Times.

#labor wants to kill #palmer and slow down the #greens, and the #coalition wants to kill the #independents and slow down #OneNation. it’s like, ‘you help me kill my enemy, and i’ll help you kill yours’.

many in the nuclear community falsely want to believe i am anti-nuclear — i’m not, of course, i’m just anti-🐂💩. in this podcast we calmly go through some of the major issues facing nuclear in australia in a measured way. it’s a fascinating technology, and this is a fascinating time for energy.

ABCNews, an otherwise good story about the health implications of intensifying summer heat in Western Sydney, but not one mention of climate change! Why do you self censor? Speak truth to power. Its actually your job. Your only job.

Dutton’s nuclear plan doesn’t address the climate crisis for about 25 years, while its claimed cost savings of 44% are based on a comparison with Labor’s plan – that produces 45% more electricity. These are the glaring gaps and unanswered questions in the Coalition’s nuclear plan and costings.

These women are Knitting Nannas, last year they put their lives on hold & took the State of NSW to the Supreme Court to challenge the draconian anti-protest laws & they won! They’re now putting their lives on hold & their bodies on the line for our precious native forests. They are heroes! 💚🌳🐨

I would be happy to donate to any fund established to crowd fund the legal costs of the 170 people arrested for standing up for the life chances of my grandchildren. Anyone else? @risingtideaus.bsky.social

With the Greens support, Labor could vote to wipe 20% of student debt in Parliament today. Not after an election. Real cost of living relief now. There’s just no reason to hold people crushed with student debt to ransom. We must wipe all student debt, and we can start today.
