The Labor–Liberal duopoly is wrecking our climate. They keep backing coal, gas and native forest logging while nature collapses and the planet cooks. I called out the hypocrisy in Parliament!🌳🌎💚

Last year in Parliament, I warned the Minns Labor Government that their new tough-on-crime laws would fail to keep communities safe and only result in greater over-policing of First Nations kids - and that's exactly what happened.

“NSW is on track to miss greenhouse gas targets, its inland rivers are dying, land clearing is rampant, and the number of threatened species has increased” We don’t just deserve real environmental action and protection, our very existence relies on it!

Over 7 months late and the NSW Gov.’s State of the Environment Report confirms what we already know: our environment is in crisis. Meanwhile, the Minns Gov. underspent nearly half a billion dollars on environment protection and have not allocated enough in this week's budget to address the crisis.

Today we gathered outside of Parliament & called this out loud & clear. I talked about Aunty Narelle Wilson - Gumbaynggirr Elder who wrote to the Premier on behalf of the Clans of the Gumbaynggirr Nation telling him he must make good on his promise, protect the forests of the GKNP.

This morning frontline heroes stood strong at NSW Forestry HQ in Coffs Harbour, calling on the Minns Labor Government to protect the crucial and iconic Orara East State Forest. Good caring people are stepping up to protect NSW's Forests. Don’t stay silent. Get involved.

This morning I joined the rally outside the law courts as Josh Lees, on behalf of Palestine Action Group, challenged the Minns Labor Government’s draconian anti-protest laws. We won’t be intimidated. We will keep fighting for the right to protest! 🔥❤️

UPDATE: Logging machines have entered Orara East State Forest — under police guard. This is the forest promised as part of the Great Koala National Park. Instead of protection, the Premier has sent in extinction machines and police to defend them.

Thank you so much to Greens Councillor Mila Kasby for bringing this - huuuge - petition to me today. Over 700 signatures! Folks here’s what it’s about - The Hills Shire Council has a contentious plan to develop an elite rugby precinct in Fred Caterson Reserve. 1/6

The Guardian has reported on NSW Labor Premier Chris Minns' shady back room deal with the Shooters Party - so they can have their Game Council 2.0. It's honestly so cooked - handing our public lands to the gun lobby, pretending its good for the environment. 1/2

The Premier’s extinction logging machines are rolling in to Orara East State Forest! We must take action. If you can get to Orara go now - It's only 20 minutes from Coffs Harbour. 1/2

Let’s call it what it is: recreational hunting is not effective invasive species control. It contributes little of value and actively undermines effective control programs. The Minns Labor Government must stop playing politics and start delivering real solutions.🌿🦘

The Minns Labor Government is pushing to put multi-storey apartments along the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore - but the community have said ‘No’! 1/5

It's been a busy sitting fortnight in the NSW Parliament! Dive into this thread and check it out. We’ve had everything from the Premiers dirty deal with the Shooters Party - the “Game Council 2.0” bill… 1/3

On the eve of World Environment Day I spoke in Parliament about Labor's hypocrisy. They were voted into power on the promise of climate action and the protection of nature, yet the truth lies in their actions. They continue to approve new Coal and Gas developments and log our precious native forests

Today is World Environment Day 💚🌳🐨🌏 It's important to take a moment to really think about this beautiful blue green living planet. There’s so much at stake!Action your hope so we can protect and regenerate this beautiful planet that we depend entirely upon 💚🌳🐨🐋🌏💚

On ABC this morning, I called out the Shooters new bill for what it is: Game Council 2.0. I remember what the old one was like. It was shocking — riddled with corruption and failure. We can’t let that happen again.

The critically endangered Leadbeater’s possum has been found in Kosciuszko National Park! It was thought to be extinct in NSW. The results of removing invasive species is proving to be exactly as the experts said, give the ecosystems a chance to recover before it’s too late - and recover they will!

In response to the increase in people held on remand due to the Minns Labor Government’s draconian law and order agenda, they are planning to invest $500 million to “strengthen” the prison and legal systems. (1/3)

This week, I had the privilege of having a chat with local hero Peter Elzer, who is currently undertaking a 12-day fast for forests. I carried his voice into parliament & spoke truth to power - it’s time to establish the GKNP. Thank you Peter for your courage — we stand with you. 🌳 🐨 💚

Communities are suffering as they wait for Labor to fulfil their promise - it’s been two years! Thank you to all the wonderful people who turned up to call for the protection of our native forests & Peter for again putting your body on the line for our forests

I’m sickened to the core by Labor everywhere! The approval of Woodside’s Climate Wrecking Gas Export Development is beyond betrayal. We’re on track for 2.7 degrees of warming - Labor in Australia everywhere are driving the climate crisis.

Today Tamara Smith MP and I joined the wonderful Save Wallum people outside the Federal Court as this is the final day of the epic court challenge they have brought against the developer in the bid to Save Wallum.

First Nations children in NSW are currently being removed from their families and put in prison at rates higher than ever before in history. Sorry means genuine recognition of the harms done in the past and that you don’t do it again. NSW Labor today you must hang your heads in shame!

NSW Labor Premier Chris Minns showed up to our climate disaster frontlines where lives were lost, our towns underwater, homes & businesses damaged & wildlife smashed - then within days he approved Glencore’s new massive Ulan Coal development. Swipe to see the impacts on the climate and take action.

The devastating floods on the Mid North Coast are heartbreaking and a too-soon reminder of the 2022 floods. We mourn for the families of those who have lost their lives, and for the community that is facing destruction and an uncertain future. This is a moment for both mourning, and reflection.

Native Forest Logging is beyond crisis. Recently, a powerful group of all seven Greens MPs and other cross-bench MPs, co-signed and delivered a letter to the NSW Labor Treasurer Daniel Mookhey calling on him to face the money and end native forest logging now. Dive into this thread and see why…

The politics of hate and division was big this election! I kept it light and respectful, with a bit of humour for the haters. But it's the politics of hope, love & justice that makes my green heart beat and nothing will ever change my beats!

We will now build on 15 years in the House of Representatives and we will hold the sole balance of power in the Senate. The Greens are the only 3rd Party to have ever achieved what we have and what we continue to do in our 2 Party duopoly version of democracy.

The NSW Forestry Corporation has just released its half year report, unbelievably at $14.9 million, their losses are actually double what was projected! It’s cost you $14.9 million for just 6 months of the Forestry Corporation to destroy our forests and drive extinction.

Business leaders from the Mid-North Coast came to the NSW Parliament to deliver a letter signed by 110 businesses in the region calling on the Minns Labor Government to immediately establish the Great Koala National National Park. It's been too long. So many in the community have had enough! 💚🌳🐨

Remember how the High Court of Australia ruled against the NSW Forestry Corp in their bid to stop the legends at South East Forest Rescue enforcing environmental protection laws?

Today on Gadigal land, we stood in solidarity with Gomeroi Tradtional Custodians and marched to the steps of the NSW Parliament in our fight against the destruction of culture, land and climate by Santos’ disastrous Narrabri Gas Project in the Pilliga.

The Medicinal Cannabis sector in NSW is seriously struggling with a dysfunctional regulatory system. I’m really concerned that our region will miss out on the innovation, jobs and opportunities this amazing sector brings all because the Government instead of flying high are asleep at the wheel.

Here in Lismore on the last day of prepoll with Dr Luke Robinson, Senator David Shoebridge and wonderful volunteers. So this is it folks it’s on tomorrow! It’s Election Day so we must keep Dutton’s Coalition out and get Labor to act on the cost of living, housing, extinction and the climate crisis

Being on the tools during pre-poll and in the campaign lead up - the politics of hate and division is there for all to see. This video from @regenerators shows the US based Atlast Network and their global network pushing their end of times ideology and serving the interest of the billionaires club

Today, 8 brave and amazing women scaled the roof and attached themselves to the Forestry Corporation office in Coffs Harbour. Along with so many, they’ve had enough of the harm industrial logging is doing to our precious forests.

Labor's extinction logging has got to stop. Look at this absolutely tragic footage of this poor beautiful endangered Greater Glider and what the Forestry Corporation has done! Once again friends of our forests have found the Forestry Corporation smashing forest that’s supposed to be protected.

We came together in Lismore to call on the NSW Labor Government to stop demolishing the old hardwood homes of North Lismore. We are in a housing crisis for goodness sake how is this even happening. We will not stand by while we witness this harmful stupidity.

We must stop the destruction and save our Big Scrub Homes. If you’re in the area, take action and join the rally this Wednesday. We need to keep the pressure on the Minns Government to stop demolishing homes in a housing crisis.

I tell you what’s actually “BONKERS” = Premier Chris Minns going on 2GB to dribble divisive, offensive and out right ignorant comments about what Australia’s Race Discrimination Commissioner says about racism and “Australia Day”. Check it out ....

Bob Brown is right - saving the earth is within our reach, but only if we take action. Previous governments have administered decades of environmental destruction - approving new coal and gas to logging precious native forests. It has to end. Make your vote count and put the Greens first.

New polling suggests that up to 73 per cent of people in three local government areas bordering the Great Koala National Park support its establishment. The people want the park and they want it NOW. We can take action and help stop NSW Labor from destroying more koala habitats 1/3.

Well, here we are again! Civil society in the courts fighting another tranche of the Minns Labor Governments draconian anti-protest laws. These laws were rushed through the parliament under false pretences. The laws are a mess, people want them repealed! This is another Minns mess.

“By forcing more young people into the criminal justice system, and through the prisons, the Minns Labor government is causing serious long-term harm to those young people," Greens MLC Sue Higginson 👇 www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/despite... @greensnsw.bsky.social @suehigginson.bsky.social

The Inspector of Prisons has recommended part of Bathurst Prison be shut down. It’s antiquated & inhumane. It’s not the only one in NSW. The State has the power to take a persons liberty but not their dignity & human rights. Prisons need to be places of rehabilitation not pain & despair.

Here we go - another week in Parliament & another suite of draconian Anti-Protest & Law & Order measures from Premier Chris Minns! This time they’re so bad that even 2GB are questioning them & Labor Govt members are cringing! So I joined a protest to protest the anti-protest laws - as you do!

Labor are utterly & dangerously hopeless. The only way we will ever get any positive movement on prioritising our precious living Planet is to Vote Green & get more Greens MPs into Parliament! Labor, like the Liberals work for the miners & the big end of town! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This was hellishly offensive, deeply insensitive and utterly lacking in reason. She must apologise. If she doesn’t then she is in fact just evil. shorturl.at/0bJQU

It’s Invasion Day in Australia. Like everyday, we must tell the truth & demand justice. Governments continue to inflict gross injustice against First Nations people. Mass imprisonment is at crisis point 65% of children & 36% of adults in prison are First Nations yet they are 3.8% of the population.
