Spot on @cathywilcox.bsky.social. And also that renewables are already far cheaper than coal and gas. Bye bye Libs.

The NSW Upper House just finished a marathon debate on the Workers Comp bill with it finally passing - with amendment - at 5.32am. I’m so proud of our Greens team and especially @abigailboydmlc.bsky.social who was on her feet all night - here’s a pic to capture our exhaustion and relief!

We were all heartbroken when we saw a beautiful young humpback whale entangled and ultimately killed in one of the shark nets put in by the Government when he was entangled off the Illawarra coast a few weeks ago 💔�

Remember when Chris Minns rushed through controversial laws earlier this year to address anti-Semitic behaviour and ‘hate speech’? A quick reminder of what he said at the time:

Today, gambling and alcohol companies will be raking in massive profits off the back of a cruel industry whose time is well and truly up. I'm saying Nup to the Cup - this year and every year 💚🐴

ICYMI: stream the webinar online now to find out more about the damage intensive horticulture like blueberry farms are causing on the mid north coast - and to our health - and what needs to happen to fix it.

Traditional Owners don't want the Narrabri Gas project. NSW Farmers don't want it. Unions don't want it. Environmentalists don't want it. Locals don't want it. Only Chris Minns and his gas cartel mates want the Narrabri Gas project. So whose side is Labor on?

Why are these trees being cleared for a pipeline for Santos’ gas project when it hasn't even been approved yet?! 🤬

RIP Dr Jane Goodall 💔

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

I couldn’t have said it better myself Christine!👌

We're coming for you 👻

The death of Mercury Psillakis at Dee Why Beach is a tragedy. But shark nets don’t keep people safe, and they kill precious marine life. To protect swimmers and our oceans we need real solutions that actually work, not outdated nets that give a false sense of security

In approving the massive North West Shelf Gas Project out to 2070 🤯 Labor shows they will do anything - even burn the planet down - rather than stand up to the gas cartel and say 'Enough'.

My motion to force the government to release documents related to mining impacts in NSW was just defeated by one vote... The Legalise Cannabis Party MP joined the government to block it 🤯

A manager writes in another reply: “when we say ‘release’ we mean quietly load it onto the LeadSmart website and not tell anyone”. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Blueberry farming in the Coffs region has been riddled with water breaches for years. 28/31 farms inspected in 2020 were found to be non-compliant - and 4 are still illegally taking water they're not entitled to! Our communities, rivers and ecosystems pay the price while rogue operators profit 🤬

Despite all the evidence - including at the Drug Summit - that drug use needs to be treated as a health issue not a criminal one if we’re to reduce harm and save lives, the Police have still got a laser-like grip on drugs policy in NSW. Including at music festivals 🤬

THANK YOU everyone who made it to Manly Beach on Sydney's first sunny day in weeks to say NO to archaic, murderous shark nets and YES to non-lethal technology that will actually keep people safe at beaches (unlike the nets 🙄)

MEDIA RELEASE: Cate Faehrmann has delivered a scathing speech calling for urgent intervention by the Minns Government to regulate the intensive blueberry industry across the Mid North Coast, after visiting the area and meeting with residents in the Nambucca Valley and surrounding regions.

🤬

👀

Our beloved NSW music festivals are struggling. So why has the Minns Government given a million dollars to two music festivals - Listen Out and Field Day - essentially owned by global equity giant KKR that's investing in companies in the West Bank and profiting from the genocide in Gaza??

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

How terrible. Even worse imagine having to spend it on health and social services?! Or heaven forbid the environment! 😱

Congratulations & grateful thanks to @greencate.bsky.social for this bill to scrap road testing for medicinal cannabis in NSW - the original bill legalising this road testing should never have been passed @jeremybuckingham.bsky.social www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/medicin...

Happy World Environment Day! Let this beautiful whale and calf remind us all why we must keep fighting every day for the protection of our planet and all the wondrous creatures who call it home 💙🐋🌊 📷 Attila e Kaszo

It's not surprising to me that the cost to clean up toxic PFAS chemicals is going to be huge, but it's unfair and outrageous that small communities are facing massive increases to waste charges to deal with it.

Media release: Last year, Water Minister Rose Jackson said she would consider the idea of lowering Warragamba’s water supply levels to mitigate against flood risk, but since then crickets.

🤬🤬🤬

A new report from the NSW Government shows that the control of feral horses in Kosciuszko National Park is working and ecosystems are already showing positive signs of recovery 🌏 Read more: biodiversitycouncil.... @euanritchie.bsky.social

Media release: The move by the Premier to compensate for the rail chaos which has disrupted Sydneysiders lives for the last two days by offering a fare free day on Monday is woeful and totally inadequate given how much it’s impacted people

So Minns is gifting one fare free day for the rail meltdown which continues. People have missed work, social engagements and many other important things and paid huge sums for Ubers & cabs to get home - if they were lucky. Sorry but a day doesn’t cut it. Give them a week. Minimum.

Great news that @larissawaters.bsky.social has been chosen as leader of the Australian Greens! Larissa is a fierce feminist and environmentalist whose passion for people, planet and our wonderful Greens movement knows no bounds. She’ll be fantastic in the role.

Despite medicinal cannabis being legal in this country for nearly a decade, people are STILL being charged and losing their licence for using their medication. Despite no impairment whatsoever! It's unfair and discriminatory.

MEDIA RELEASE: Government’s response to the inquiry into the use of e-scooters, e-bikes and related mobility options recommendations welcome, but I urge against any further delay in regulating shared e-bike schemes, particularly in relation to dedicated parking infrastructure

Not the language I would have used...

Just devastated 🫶💔💚

The ABC used to invite a Greens MP on their federal election coverage panel. Why don’t we have one tonight? Especially given James McGrath and Jim Chalmers comments about the Greens - this needs a rebuttal. @abcnewsbot.bsky.social #australiavotes

James McGrath on ABC coverage right now needs a rubbish bin shoved over his head and should have been cut off 5 minute ago #BinNight #AusVotes25 #AusVotes2025

This is an excellent investigative piece by Wendy Bacon and Yaakov Aharon about the insidious influence of the far-right at this election and the powerful interests behind them.
