Not surprised that Victorian teachers are considering industrial action. Vic teachers are the lowest paid in Aus & last year Jacinta Allan's Labor Gov cut $2.4 billion from public schools, most of which would have gone to boosting school staff & increasing teacher salaries. 1/4

Sickened & furious. A man has been charged for allegedly throwing a HOMEMADE BOMB with nails/ball bearings at the Invasion Day rally in Boorloo (Perth). Elders, community & allies were targeted. This is a blatant act of racist, political terror.

If policing is about crime alone, why does Yarra see less surveillance than Greater Dandenong, despite higher crime rates? This new study exposes the myth that Vic Police simply “go where the crime is.” designatedareas.centreagainstracialprofiling.au

In the space of two weeks, we’ve seen climate whiplash in Australia: • Bushfires ravaging more than 400,000 hectares of land • More than 100 homes destroyed • Families and communities displaced & grieving • Loss of human life, livestock & wildlife • Flash flooding in coastal towns, wreaking havoc

The recent despicable alleged racial attack against a Victorian Imam and his wife in South Gippsland reflects an accelerating rise of structural and overt anti-Muslim hate and racism. White supremacist ideologies must be confronted and stamped out.

We are so pleased that our campaign for emergency funding for cohealth has been successful, with the federal government hearing the community and ensuring GP funding until 31 July 2026. BUT we need a LONG-TERM solution and support from the Victorian Labor Government.

The Jacinta Allan Labor Government’s decision to introduce life sentences for children proves once again that Labor is only interested in cynical attempts to look tough - not implementing policies that actually work to improve community safety. 🧵 (1/4)

What’s happening in El-Fasher, West Sudan is appalling. Bloodshed visible from space must never be normalised. We are seeing massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law. The RSF militia, backed by the UAE and foreign powers, are fueling this ongoing proxy war. 🧵

This is deeply concerning. Cuts to health, cuts to education, and now cuts to foster care – this is not what looking after our kids looks like.

Another unacceptable, totally preventable death in custody. Substance abuse and mental health episodes should be met with a care-first public health response, not punitive policing that escalates and ends in tragedy. Being in distress should not be a death sentence.

News that a ceasefire agreement in Gaza has been signed is welcome. For the sake of the survivors on the ground, who have been through years of horrific genocide campaign, I pray this is the end of their nightmare.

The UN has confirmed Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The Albanese and Allan Government must act now - stop the siege, end the two-way arms trade, and sanction Israel. Australia has a legal duty under the Genocide Convention. (1/2)

Victorian children deserve a safeguarding system that leaves no room for predatory behaviour to take hold. Now more than ever, we must ensure that our child safe frameworks and systems are not only vigilant in identifying risks, but also prompt and effective in taking decisive action.

Public submissions are now open for the Parliamentary inquiry into Victoria's early childhood education and care sector ⬇️

The white supremacist violence we saw in Melbourne yesterday was disgraceful. Far-right extremists marched with racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Indigenous hatred before attacking First Nations people at Camp Sovereignty. Nazis have no place here. Our full solidarity is with those targeted.

Housing is a human right, and right now, the Victorian Parliament is debating the Greens' bill to make it law.

BREAKING: Land Forces weapons expo is officially out of Victoria. Protest works. Thank you to the thousands that organised, turned up and raised your voice to say no to war profiteering in our state.

Recognition of Palestine should have happened decades ago and is a fundamental right that the Australian Government has denied for too long. Now we need action: Australia must sanction Israel & end the two-way arms trade. Recognition won’t feed starving kids or stop the bombs.

The Israeli Government is starving Gaza. Over 111 dead, and counting. Children & elderly starving at record rates. Enough food exists, but Israel blocks aid, and slaughters civilians seeking scraps. This is deliberate mass starvation. A crime against humanity. An act of genocide.

Parents in Victoria are going through hell right now and to hear the Premier say she won’t apologise for breaking Parliamentary rules and failing to release documents about their children’s safety is shameful.

Private childcare has become a money-making machine, prioritising profit over caring for children. Shocking abuse, like what was revealed last week, doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s a product of a sector that cuts corners, breaches staffing ratios & neglects child safety for the sake of corporate 💰

Yet again, the Vic Government & police are failing to protect victim-survivors. In a family violence crisis, they should be doing everything in their power to protect women & children, not shirking responsibility on key safety measures. Premier, listen to the coroner. Implement these reforms now.

Join us this Sunday!

We are in a crisis. Family violence incidents are up 40%. One women is killed every two weeks. 1 in 3 men admit to intimate partner abuse. But police don’t have “capacity” to do the bare minimum to protect us?

Utterly disgusted by the neo-nazis spreading their racist filth at Northland. That these fascists can openly rally, spew hatred, and target minority communities without immediate consequences is a complete failure of this government.

Join us on the picket line tomorrow morning at 7am ⬇️ Stop the demolition, protect public housing.

Earlier this morning, we stopped demolition work from starting at the public housing towers in North Melbourne. People are still living in the building.

28 crisis units for women and children fleeing violence sit empty because Labor refuses to fund their operations, condemning survivors to unsafe motels, isolated and neglected.

Why won’t Australia sanction, or even threaten to sanction Israel? Gaza has been starved intentionally since March the 2nd.

The unprecedented strike on Khan Younis is profoundly distressing – tens of thousands forced to flee under evacuation orders, while humanitarian zones are bombarded. Australia must sanction the Netanyahu government.

Today is Nakba Day - marking the displacement of 700,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948. As we witness the ongoing genocide in Gaza by Israel - it’s clear the Nakba continues.

Absolutely shameful that Labor is scrapping billions of $ for public schools. Vic schools are already the most underfunded in the country—buildings falling apart, teachers overworked & underpaid—yet Labor would rather spend millions on luxury VIP boxes for the Grand Prix. Priorities, hey?

Netanyahu has just confirmed in a gut wrenching speech that he will ‘occupy the entire Gaza strip and remain there’. This morning, Israel bombed Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon and Syria in less than an hour.

This needs to stop. Private markets are failing. We need rent controls and an immediate investment in public housing.

There are only 352 rentals across this entire country right now that are considered affordable for full-time minimum wage workers. Zero for people on Youth Allowance and just three for people on JobSeeker. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

The killing of Abdifatah Ahmad is not an anomaly – it’s the system working as designed. Time and again, police target migrant and Indigenous communities with racial profiling, overpolicing and violence. How can we trust cops that meet crises with bullets instead of care?

Really disappointing - especially for a program designed to protect diverse women. It’s already so hard for women of colour to get ahead in the workplace, so it feels like a slap in the face when “progressive” institutions perpetuate the same racism they claim to be against.

Well as we argued in parliament, Labor’s rushed “tough on crime” laws are racist and punitive. Human rights lawyers agree - and they’re taking it to the UN.

Eid Mubarak! عيد مبارك 🌙✨ During this time of gathering, reflection, joy & gratitude, we are thinking especially of Palestinians, enduring yet another Eid under violence and persecution. To all those celebrating, we're wishing you a safe and beautiful celebration filled with love and peace. 🌸🕌

The decision by the Israeli government to resume attacks on Palestinians is appalling. Over 400 people have been killed as Netanyahu continues his relentless onslaught on innocent people.

The Premier is panicking in the face of campaigns by the Opposition & right-wing media & making policy based on knee-jerk reactions. We cannot go back to a bail system that locks up women, First Nations & vulnerable people for non-violent crimes like shoplifting. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The Premier's bail law announcement yesterday threatens to put more First Nations people in prison and does nothing for community safety. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Premier thinks locking up kids is going to solve the crime problem. Has she asked herself why these kids are offending in the first place? How about providing affordable housing, healthcare and proper supports for victims of family violence.

Labor is trying to abandon its responsibility to provide public housing, and it’s just unacceptable.

This government is so heartless.

This announcement confirms our fears that this government is washing their hands of public housing in Victoria. Labor is handballing people’s lives and the housing crisis to a private company.

BREAKING: The Premier just confirmed that there will be no public housing rebuilt after North Melbourne and Flemington public housing is demolished.

One week until our International Women’s Day event! ⏰ Tickets are still available (they’re free!), so RSVP if you haven’t already. 🗓️ Wed, 12th March ⏰ 6pm-8pm 📍 Brunswick Neighbourhood House 🔗 marchforward.eventbrite.com

A govt department's report recommends Victoria needs 60,000 more public & community homes. Victoria has the least amount of public housing and spends the least out of anywhere else in the country.

The anniversary of the Christchurch mosque massacre is less than 2 weeks away. Could the Prime Minister finally acknowledge the horrific Islamophobic abuse our community is experiencing and treat it like the emergency it is? The double standards are glaring.
