12/9 - Labor approves biggest gas export project in the country, out to 2070. 15/9 - Labor releases chilling climate report. 18/9 - Labor gives up on the science and caves in to their coal and gas donors. committing to just 62-70% climate target by 2035.

Labor just gave final approval to the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere. Woodside’s North West Shelf will keep polluting until 2070, threaten ancient rock art and push whole ecosystems to the brink. This is a betrayal.

On the eve of our 2035 targets being set, Australians are still waiting for bold leadership from the government that reins in out-of-control polluters and sets a genuine pathway to net zero.

Vic just powered up a second big battery in the Latrobe Valley. Transforming this region into a renewable powerhouse is exactly what we need. Victorian coal workers deserve our appreciation and a just transition plan that leaves no worker behind.

Heartbreaking to hear of the tragic death of two wildlife rescuers in Victoria. My thoughts are with their loved ones. We desperately, need safer roads and real investment in protecting native animals and the people who care for them. Rest in power.

An economy in which Qantas posts a $1.6 billion profit while families struggle to afford childcare and workers can’t put food on the table isn’t something to be proud of. Tax the big corporations!

Today the AFR reports that Abu Dhabi's ADNOC has hired Albanese’s former chief of staff Michael Choueifate to help with its Santos bid, while Peter Dutton’s ex–chief of staff Alexander Dalgleish has joined the same lobbying firm.

Yet more evidence the privatised childcare system is failing kids and families. Horrific incidents continue to be uncovered at G8, Victoria’s most sanctioned private provider, including a child physically assaulted by an educator.

Has anyone heard from the Environment Minister lately? He was pretty quick to approve Australia’s largest gas export project in WA, maybe the marine biologists could ask Woodside for his phone number.

The Greens won’t stand in the way but Labor’s ECEC bill does nothing to address the systemic issues that put children at risk. Now is the time to build a bold, universal early learning system where every child can access safe, high-quality education and care

Research from the Centre for Public Integrity has revealed that the Albanese Government is worse than the Morrison Government when it comes to refusing Senate Orders for the Production of Documents. If Labor wants to govern for people, not profits, it needs to open its books.

Parents, carers and educators have never been more united our calls for urgent reform to fix the childcare crisis in this country. Victorian Labor are currently defying those calls, and those of the Victorian Parliament.

News that the Treasurer has invited a Woodside board member to his economic reform roundtable shows just how deep Labor’s toxic ties to the gas industry run.

Solidarity with Uncle Paul and Uncle Papai for taking this courageous case to the courts. The Greens are ready to pass strong climate legislation that enshrines a duty of care for current and future generations.

A new paper from the Centre for Public Integrity shows federal lobbying rules are seriously lacking, and fail to deliver on transparency, integrity and equality.

It’s deeply distressing to hear of the attempted arson attack at the East Melbourne Synagogue overnight, especially as members of the Jewish community gathered to celebrate Shabbat.

This week’s horrifying reports lay bare serious failures in the early learning system and the need for a national watchdog to keep our kids safe.

Whether it’s young people standing up for a safe climate, workers taking action for fair wages and conditions, or non-violent protests calling for a an end to genocide, the right to protest needs to be protected.

No one should be punished for speaking out about Gaza. The ABC has wasted over $1m fighting this case against Antoinette Lattouf. Time for Aunty to take a good hard look at itself as a public broadcaster that belongs to all of us.

The childcare subsidy system is broken, families already know this. The Auditor-General’s report confirms it. Billions are being wasted, while fees keep rising and centres keep closing.

The more coal and gas Labor approves, the higher the floodwaters, the fiercer the fires and more people will be pushed out of their homes. www.theage.com.au/environment/...

The Israeli military intercepting a boat full of unarmed activists bringing food and medicine to Gaza is a clear breach of International Law. The whole world is watching and expecting each of these peaceful volunteers to be released unharmed. #madleen

Since April, Labor has approved: -Viva Energy’s floating gas terminal in Geelong -Santos’ Barossa offshore gas project in the NT -Two coalmine extensions in NSW -Nine new areas for gas exploration in Queensland -Woodside’s North West Shelf gas project in WA

In the same week that Federal Labor signed off on Australia’s biggest gas project, Victorian Labor has just ticked off on Viva Energy’s plan for floating gas terminal in Corio Bay.

Victorian Labor budget: ✅ luxury upgrades for corporate boxes at the Grand Prix ❌ Properly funding public schools

The entire population of Gaza is on the brink of starvation and famine. There are no longer any functioning hospitals in the North of Gaza because they have been bombed. History is watching. Australia must sanction the Netanyahu government.

@larissawaters.bsky.social will be leading the Greens! I cut my teeth as a campaigner working alongside the wonderful Larissa Waters on the community-led campaign to end coal seam gas exploration in Western Victoria.

Monday night’s ABC 7.30 coverage by Adele Ferguson exposed more distressing failures in for-profit early childhood education centres. This isn’t a one-off; it’s a systemic failure. One in ten centres still don’t even have a quality rating. #auspol @abcnewsnetau.bsky.social

Free, universal childcare is the only way to guarantee access for regional families. Education should be about education, not profit. www.bdtimes.com.au/countryman/o...

The government must urgently review and overhaul Australia's childcare regulatory system. The investigation into Jumpstart Childcare reveals a disturbing failure—not just of one centre, but of a broken regulatory system that allows abuse to occur unchecked.

This is shameful and a perfect example of why we need bold reform in the early learning sector. Educators deserve security and to be paid in full, and families deserve access to free, universal care. If this can’t be provided by private companies, the government should step in.

BREAZE is a fantastic, volunteer-powered environmental organisation doing great work for the community supporting renewable energy projects. This community deserves to have this decision revisited, and the proper process followed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

I am alarmed to hear that Bayside City Council has today deployed excavators at Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve - home to the threatened Growling Grass Frog. I call on the council to stop the destruction of this precious habitat immediately. 📷 Gio Fitzpatrick

To the white supremacists and neo-Nazis who held a public gathering in Elwood this weekend, I say: there is no place for your bigotry and hate here or anywhere.

Greens pressure works! After two weeks of calling on the Labor government to pass their own childcare reforms, Labor finally listened and supported the Greens in getting it passed! The punitive childcare subsidy activity test will be removed for three days. Now let's do full abolition!

In a betrayal to families and kids across the country, Labor has voted with the Libs to crush any chance of implementing their own promise to remove the childcare subsidy activity test for three days, in what could be the last sitting week before the election.

⚛️ Science and innovation play a crucial role in shaping our world. 🔬 The Greens are working to revitalise science and innovation through public investment, creating opportunities for students and researchers to shape a brighter future for everyone.

Labor has (AGAIN) delayed desperately needed childcare reforms in the Senate, joining the Liberals to block their own legislation! The childcare subsidy activity test is a Morrison-era relic, and the Greens were ready to get this bill passed this fortnight, before the election. Shame!

It's official: Labor just voted with Dutton to kill their ‘nature positive' legislation. I'm sure those fossil fuel donations had nothing to do with it.

Parents and educators know how tough it is to navigate the overly complex inclusion support program. Why is the Government outsourcing procurement for the Inclusion Support Program at all? Bring it back into the public service. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...
