Absolutely amazing. It’s been such a journey but now we’re here 🫶🏼

Announced by us yesterday, and confirmed today thanks to the work of Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social, Monash will end its partnership with #WoodsideEnergy. When they discuss changes in community expectations, we know what they mean; it’s all of you who joined us on this journey. Thanks to all!

Monash Uni ends partnership with Woodside Energy! This is a huge win for staff and students who have been campaigning for years to get this climate-wrecking company off their campus. My heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to those who have fought so hard for this.

So proud to have been a part of this movement to @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social. However, the right is not over.

Earlier this week, Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social introduced a bill to the Senate that’d force universities to divest from fossil fuels, weapons, and gambling. This is what some of us who have been campaigning on this issue think at Monash, UQ, and UniMelb. #divestment #climatechange #greens

🏃 𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐢-𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 ✊🏼 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is the projected Mayor-elect of New York City. The win is decisive, and with a projected 2.2 mil votes, has seen an almost doubling of turnout, with new constituencies encouraged to vote. Bold politics can win, and is the answer to a world on fire

Monash has announced its intention to shut down the MSDI, but there is no movement on the presence of #WoodsideEnergy on campus. This hypocrisy represents a Uni that isn’t committed to meaningful climate action. Sign MESSA’s petition!

The Coalition was never gonna be a good faith partner on environmental reform. The path forward was going to be with the @greens.org.au and indies. Labor needs to be willing to come to the table, stand up to WA mining companies, and make a progressive deal (this time without the PM sabotaging it).

So privileged to have participated in the creation of this article from Gillian Aeria in the ABC on social media, protest, and Gen-Z in the Philippines and across Asia. Was amazing to be part of the team (mga amazing na kababayan Nicole, Shen, and Paris!) and was an amazing read 🫶🏼

It was an absolute honour two weeks ago to interview @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social after she spoke at the Refugee Action Collective protest. Her words were not just inspiring, but empowering, especially for me as a young POC. Big thank you again to Mehreen and team. #antiracism #refugees #activism

Gotta love a feature in the TOTALLY REAL Vogue @voguemunash2025.bsky.social /s

We had the Monash Uni Greens team (Toyo - Pres, Valerie - VP) at the anti-fascist, anti-fascist ‘Sovereignty Never Ceded’ rally at Flinders St. It’s so important to be able stand against hate and violence while vulnerable communities are being targeted. We were so honoured to be part of this.

Newly elected @monashunigreens.bsky.social President, @toyoau.bsky.social, shares their reflections on attending the Student and Workers’ Strike for Palestine organised on Wednesday. There are some powerful messages form this rally about how and when we stand up and fight back ✊🏼

🏭 𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐥 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 🌫️ No political party that is taking money from the #fossilfuel industry is going to be able to engage in objective decision-making on an emissions goal. We need to ban dirty money in politics 🚫

Was SO AMAZING to go around the event and film all of these amazing reflections! ✊🏼🫶🏼

An important opportunity to let the Uni know how powerful the @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social movement is ✊🏼✊🏼

6 days is a ridiculous period to review a 26 page document. Monash must #pushbackthedate and make sure that students and staff can offer meaningful input in this ESG policy change.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has won the Democratic primary for NYC mayor, beating disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo A campaign built on universal humanity and a bold vision to solve the inequality crisis is what this world needs There are many lessons here for progressive campaigners globally

That moment when your university blocks access to your website highlighting their relationship with Fossil Fuel giant #woodsideenergy. Transparency???? Freedom of Expression??? #climatechange #fossilfuels #climatejustice

🛫💣 - The United States just bombed three sites in Iran. Iran already made it clear that it will respond. All of this 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 due to the threat of nuclear proliferation, a direct consequence of Trump withdrawing from the Iran deal. No one wins in war, and civilians inevitably become targets.

The work we are doing at SWM is making waves 🌊 @roycerk2.bsky.social has done some amazing journalism on the details of the Monash’s partnership with Woodside. Getting into @crikey.com.au and @drilledmedia.bsky.social, and being shared by @australiainstitute.org.au, shows our movement’s power ✊🏼

Monash Uni Greens member @toyoau.bsky.social on the @australia.theguardian.com article on the Monash-Woodside Partnership and the @greens.org.au statement calling for its abolition. No climate criminals or weapons companies belong on campus.

Absolutely amazing to have Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social and the rest of the @greens.org.au support the @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social movement. Not just is it essential advocacy, but it’s incredibly gratifying to know that my party supports this movement I care so much about 💚✊🏼

the movement to #StopWoodside has gained some serious momentum. @monashuniversity.bsky.social can’t get away with its shady partnership with #WoodsideEnergy. Enormous props to the team at the @australia.theguardian.com for this important dive into this partnership.

The activists aboard the #Madleen never posed any kind of threat, and the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social was set to deliver life-saving aid to the Gaza Strip. For these activists and humanitarians to be detained by the Israeli military and their aid seized requires international response.

📣𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆🎓 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 Some of the most egregious changes to @monashuniversity.bsky.social’s code of conduct are removed, creating more space for student activism and campaigning. This is a win for the MSA, @nteumonash.bsky.social, and all groups and individuals who campaigned on this. (1/3)

TOMORROW - In response to the approval of the Northwest Shelf Extension, we are holding a Funeral-Style Rally at 12pm outside the Woodside Building. This week shows #WoodsideEnergy to be climate criminals, and @monashuniversity.bsky.social is complicit in these crimes. #StopWoodside #climatechange

Was a privilege to be a part of the team that wrote this article, but I still wish it hadn’t been necessary. 🛑✊🏼

This outcome from the new environment minister is extremely disappointing, but not surprising. #WoodsideEnergy is a bad faith actor, and will now go ahead with the biggest fossil fuel project in Australia’s history. @monashuniversity.bsky.social still think this is a good partnership?

On one side of the country, over 50,000 are under threat from a flood disaster, with tragically one found dead, and three missing. On the other side, the new environment minister is faced with the difficult decision of whether to approve Australia’s largest ever fossil fuel project.

So the Coalition (between the Liberals and Nationals), which has been around mostly-consistently since the 1920s, has just come to an end. This is wild.

💚𝐃𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲✊🏼 The @greens.org.au often talk about ‘doing Politics differently’, but in some ways we have embraced aspects of retail politics. @huongtruong.bsky.social inspires me to look beyond that, and her reflections on her record setting campaign in Fraser is a must-read.

I’ll always have endless respect for @janetrice.bsky.social, not just for her work in the @greens.org.au, but as the only MP who spoke up for Filipino human rights activists during BBM’s visit. Her analysis on the 2025 election is a great reflection on the Greens past, and most importantly, future✊🏼

💚𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 ‘𝐔𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞’ 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬🗳️ Ya’ll ever noticed, people love to talk Greens policies being ‘nice but unrealistic’, but most of our platform either: - has international examples (rent caps, taxing billionaires, dental in Medicare) - or is old Labor policy (public housing, negative gearing)?

🏫💰 - The fact that private schools in Australia receive the level of funding they do, whilst over 90% of public schools do not meet the government’s own minimum standards in regards to facilities, is honestly really disgraceful. Private schools DON’T NEED public money.

Make sure @monashuniversity.bsky.social knows what you think about its environmental plans, and tell them to #StopWoodside @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social

🇨🇩 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 🩸 One of the unfortunate consequences of Trump’s barrage of proposed ethnic cleansing and exploiting plane crashs, the world has mostly sat by as the scale of the E. Congo Crisis worsened. We have to stay aware and willing to act. Boycott Rwanda, as silence is complicity.

Just for clarity; The LIBERTARIAN party, the party that thinks the existence of public schools is an imposition on personal choice… Wants to BAN something they think might be divisive? Really just exposes the Libertarians only care about the ‘freedoms’ they like.

🔹 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦 🔹 I only met John Pesutto once just after he’d been elected leader at the Multicultural Gala. He was kind, polite, very politician like. Despite the fact I strongly disagree with his party, I must admit saw a certain decency in him. (1/2)

✊🏼🪧 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 🪧✊🏼 I will say, I’ve worked in the sector but don’t speak for all. However, it is WILD that 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 orgs specifically will have to make a commitment to social cohesion? Just another way for the gov. To police the tone of orgs it’s sometimes annoyed by.

⏩Progress and Inevitability⏩ (TW: femicide, antisemitism, genocide) Progressivism used to be easier. That doesn’t mean we get to give up now it’s hard. This is of course something that marginalised communities always understood, because progress was never easy, it always involved some pain. (1/5)

🛑⚫️ Stop Woodside ⚫️🛑 It is really actually disgraceful for @monashuniversity.bsky.social to try and charge this much for information that should be readily available. All power to @nteumonash.bsky.social and the Stop Woodside Collective for the work they are doing!

🇰🇷 South Korea Martial Law ⚖️ South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has just made a declaration of emergency martial law, and has labelled the opposition centre-left Democratic Party of Korea as North Korean sympathisers paralysing the government and engaging in anti-state activities. (1/2)

I’m in awe of our newest Greens MP @anasina-greens.bsky.social who just gave her maiden speech to Victorian Parliament. Her speech was a historical moment as Victoria welcomed its first Pasefika-Samoan MP, and an experienced fighter for marginalised communities and diversity in essential services.

🚫 Social Media Ban 🚫 While there are some very important discussions to have on the mental health effects of social media, this ban just isn’t going to work, and the target is incorrect. Social media is not dangerous to children because children are on it. (1/3)

Unwilling to negotiate with the Greens on housing, entirely willing to negotiate with the coalition. Ridiculous honestly.

🌊 Rising Tide 🌊 All power to those out on the water today blockading the Newcastle coal port! It shows the resilience and beauty of the climate movement that it was able to go ahead despite so many challenges. Wish I could be there myself. Hopefully a 2025 blockade won’t be necessary! 💚

🌐Int. Student Caps🌐 Let’s be clear, it’s a good thing that the international student caps look unlikely to pass; it was an unnecessary scapegoat for migration anxieties. BUT this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t change international student conditions. Exploitation of students from abroad MUST end. (1/2)

The Philippines is about to experience its 6th typhoon in 4 weeks, breaking multiple records. #PepitoPH is set to hit Metro Manila, the world’s 6th largest urban area, quite directly. To listen to COP organisers talk about fossil fuel deals while parts of the world are in crisis is terrifying.
