Today is Nuclear Abolition Day, a global call to end the threat of nuclear weapons. They don’t bring safety, only the risk of annihilation and climate collapse. On September 26, people around the world unite to demand action: dialogue instead of division, disarmament instead of destruction.

No Premier, it is not socials vs scientists. It is unequivocal science showing that new coal and gas puts the safety of our kids’ future on the planet at risk. This is not a keyboard war. Our responsibility is to act on the science - not denigrate it. Not run Santos’ lines to protect their profit.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has joined the growing chorus of voices who say the federal government's 5% deposit scheme is short-sighted when it comes to controlling house prices. That's the RBA using Treasury's modelling to tell the government to reconsider its housing fix.

Barbara Pocock asks what is ASIC’s max penalty, after they slugged ANZ with $240mill? Sarah Court says it’s in the “many billions of dollars” but ASIC chose not go for such a big fine bcoz it’s “sooo high”🙄 ANZ makes billions in profit each year. No wonder they never learn.

ANZ has acted deceitfully and it has profited. Misconduct of this magnitude cannot be waived through as business as usual. I asked ASIC, after 7 misconduct investigations in 8 years, where's the proof this fine alone will change the culture?

I assume Sussan’s war on dependency will extend to the $14.9 billion of annual subsidies to major producers & users of fossil fuels? And end the dependency of wealthy property investors on annual tax breaks of $12bn? Or is she just talking people with disabilities?

ANZ has ripped Australians off, big time. Board/Executive accountability?? ‘What ANZ has admitted it has done must rank as among the worst examples of widespread and repeated deceit in the history of corporate Australia.’ www.afr.com/companies/fi...

ANZ has gotten away with a slap on the wrist. This isn't holding corporations to account. The Greens won't let big banks run rampant over Australians. We'll fight for tougher penalties & stronger regulators to keep these corporate bullies from getting away with business as usual.

ANZ - one of the world’s most profitable banks - has betrayed Australians. Gouged customers. Engaged in repetitive misconduct. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The gambling issue is a perfect illustration of how our political system is - far from broken - working perfectly for the vested interests it serves. @TimCostello @SatPaper 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Labor has just blown any enviro credentials they may've had by approving final step in the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere. A betrayal & disastrous for the future of our 🌎. We can't protect our planet while we are digging and burning new fossil fuels.

You cant make this stuff up. A failure of regulation. Conflicts of interest that are entirely ungoverned. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

I wrote a letter to Katy Gallagher, Minister for Finance, to urge her to support the implementation of a debarment regime to address the systemic rot across the consultancy sector. 🧵

The real perpetrators of high houses prices are the unfair tax loopholes that reward multiple property investors and lock out every day people from owning a home. Every day that neg gearing & the CGT discount stay in place is another day that 1st homebuyers get priced out.

Tax Practitioner Board has banned former PwC Australia boss Tom Seymour for 4 years over the audit and consulting firm’s misuse of confidential government tax plans. A missed opportunity for structural reform. 🧵

“The Tax Practitioners Board …found Seymour had allowed an unethical culture to develop within the firm’s tax division in a scathing finding published on Tuesday morning.” Meanwhile, Luke Sayers…? www.afr.com/companies/pr...

Seacliff beach this morning - but it could be Bondi. Our oceans are on fire. Dead marine life all over the beach. Scientists warned us. Now we are in it. End new fossil fuels. Stop subsidising coal and gas. Our world is on fire and our kids will cop it big time.

It's unacceptable that there are no legal powers for the Commonwealth to ban a contractor for unethical conduct. We've introduced the bill, now we need Labor to work with us to ensure the government is spending public money with integrity!

Today I introduced a bill to the Senate to ban dodgy contractors from getting government work! 🧵

Time for robust law that kicks the unethical out of govt contracting. Real penalties for real misdemeanors are overdue. Greens call to blacklist PwC from govt contracts for five years www.theaustralian.com.au/business/gre...

Veronica Burgess sets out an Estimates task www.themandarin.com.au/298467-robod...

We just want workers to have flexibility in their job where practical. #auspol

🚨BREAKING 🚨 Fed Labor has rejected the right for Aus' to WFH. So disappointing the Govt voted against Greens' amendment to protect the right of workers to balance paid work with caring for their families - esp women. Where is their ambition for Australian workers? #Auspol2025

Welcome to your right to disconnect to small business, and happy disconnecting to all workers across Australia! #auspol

It's now on record Labor is spending more on consultants than Morrison. Is this the same party boasting about its savings on consultants & commitment to cultural change? Data shows Labor spent nearly $1 billion on contracts in 24-25 & already $76.5 mil in 25-26. 🧵

Tell you what they're not talking about: 👉Scrapping the property investor tax breaks that mean first homebuyers are outbid by property investors at auctions around the country every weekend. Come on Labor, let's get rid of negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount! #auspol

Thanks Adelaide - out for Palestine and Gaza. Listen to our voices Labor. Sanction Israel’s war cabinet. End the arms trade. Open the borders to humanitarian food aid now. End these murders. History will judge - and none more harshly than Netanyahu.

A revolving door that works well for fossil fuels and damns the rest of us and our kids: for the last 24 years almost every federal resources minister has gone to work for fossil fuel companies.

Rob Simms is so right: no place for homophobia in footy no matter how inconvenient as finals approach.

Turning care of our kids over to a profit-driven business model is a complete fail. We wouldn’t do it in schools. We shouldn’t do it do our youngest babies and kids. Time to fix. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Workers should have the legal right to work from home at least two days a week where it is practical and reasonable, regardless of which state they live in. 👉More information about how this would work and why it's the right time for the PM to support: greens.org.au/news/media-r...

A really good piece about Finance’s pathetic response to latest PwC ‘exoneration’. Thanks Jack Waterford. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...

Labor 94/150 House majority and it celebrates by promising to ‘cut red tape’ - Coalition policy for decades. Young people being told that intergenerational 🏠 inequality is the result of red tape - not housing taxes delivering for the wealthy that have driven up 🏠 demand and prices. Flabbergasting.

A red tape housing backflip while essential changes to tax breaks for wealthy property investors left to keep turbocharging housing demand. All wrong Labor. This is Dutton’s red tape freeze - rejected by Labor cos it would mean “shoddy” homes, Grenfell Tower infernos. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Fix unfair high marginal tax rates for 2nd earners, mostly women. Low hanging fruit for Economic Roundtable. Fairer for kids, women. Good for labour mkt participation, productivity. A 20 yr old, out-of-date Howard legacy. theconversation.com/many-parents...

Why are we delaying on a productivity measure that supports both workers and business? Come on Labor, let's get started on making the four day work week a reality. #auspol

Visits to South Australia to look at the catastrophic damage caused by the algae bloom are all well and good, but if you're serious about addressing the root cause of this national disaster, you would stop approving the new gas and coal projects that are fuelling climate change.

Tragic reef damage as climate crisis hits our oceans. No new coal and gas. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Such a fundamental piece of policy, why wouldn’t we keep the design and architecture in the public sector? We should have the capability. This contract is worth at least $7.5m - if Labor wants to reduce reliance on consultants, this isn't how you do it. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Labor has a choice: cut tax breaks for wealthy property investors or help first home buyers & renters. Greens are ready to help. But no tinkering. 2025/26: bottom 10% of earners get back $152m from the two tax breaks while the top 10% will get back $2.9 billion plus.😠 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

I'm outraged by Labor's decision to greenlight PwC, a consultancy firm which has proven to be untrustworthy & that has continuously refused to cooperate with government inquiries. 🧵

ACTU priority: Time to bite the bullet’ on ending tax benefits for wealthy property investors ~ Cap Gains Tax Discount and Neg Gearing. Key to fixing massive intergenerational housing inequality. Momentum builds. #auspol

Time to reduce the commute, improve flexibility rights, adapt to the 21st century workforce. Doesn’t suit all jobs that’s for sure but a significant productivity, family and well being benefit for many.

So grateful to have been a part of the ACT Tibetan community last night as we celebrated the 90th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Thank you to the Tibet Information Office and Australia Tibet Council for organising this wonderful event.

ATO is reviewing whether its processes were followed when it cancelled $950k owed by Paul Keating's company. It says it takes seriously concerns raised over the decision to waive the debt. More transparency please! @4corners www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Great meeting today with Kate Colvin, CEO of Homelessness Australia, where we discussed the growing no. of people requiring access homelessness services in Aus. We can't leave these people behind. We need greater govt investment in housing & systems that support people moving out of homelessness.

Transparency in our tax system is critical to fair process. We need to be able to trust our most powerful agencies. Four Corner's investigation demonstrates why every taxpayer should demand accountability from the ATO. #auspol Full story: abc.net.au/news/program...

🚨TONIGHT: 4 CORNERS | 8:30PM | ABC 🚨 I speak to Four Corners about the flaws in the ATO system that allowed more than $50 billion in tax to go uncollected. You can catch it on ABC TV or ABC iView #auspol #tax www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

The four day work week is a win for workers and a win for workplaces - why delay on a flexible working arrangement that delivers so much for productivity and people? #auspol #fourdayworkweek

A 4 day week works. Our parliamentary Inquiry on Work & Care recommended it. It’s time for change, for pilots, for more fairly sharing productivity gains and clawing back our lives. Good for all of us. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
