Collins submarines were meant to be retired this decade. But thanks to AUKUS, the Government is dropping $11 billion to try and keep them going decades longer, why? Because we are not getting the nuclear submarines for a decade if ever. $11 bn more washed down the AUKUS drain.

Israel is grossly breaching international law and kidnaps 11 Australians. The Labor Government instead of taking actions against Israel, blame the people trying to break Israel’s illegal blockade. That’s Labor and they won’t change.

This shows a key outcome of the social media age ban is cutting young Australians off from news. We opposed the ban because we saw it was designed to keep young people out of spaces where they organise, inform each other, and push back on power. Whose interests does that serve?

Beautiful day for our Greens bushwalking club circuit from Manly then up around North Head on Gayamagal land in Sydney. So much history, lots of chats and 10km under the belt too!

Saying the quiet bit out loud, an explosive government report says Labor painting a target on Port Kembla - and that means Sydney and Newcastle too.

Permanent residents are critical in building our country, they're our friends, they're the people we go to the pub with and go to run club with.

Urgent the Government’s stinking ASIO number 2 bill has been be rushed on for short debate now. the stitch up up is on with Labor Liberals and One Nation who want to be able to spy on you forever!

How the hell are there still hanging points in prisons in NSW? They have been on notice for more than 30 years and the inspector of prisons identified these particular cells as high risk. Prison budgets are massive so hard to see what excuse they have.

The PM and foreign minister are silent on rising US and Israeli crimes, even when they involve the IDF kidnapping 6 Australians And according to Senator David Shoebridge that's because modern Labor is in on this agenda 👇 sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/modern-... @davidshoebridge.bsky.social

Very happy to report the Senate has just supported the Greens move to force Commissioner Brereton and the Deputy NACC Commissioners to appear at the upcoming Senate Estimates hearings - accountability has to include everyone at the NACC even at the top!

Nasty politics from Angus Taylor today, saying the Coalition will remove income support from permanent residents if they get sick or injured or lose work. Pauline Hanson is living rent-free in that bloke's head, and it's feeding his meanness.

Economists are arguing if Labor’s ‘inter-generational equity’ reforms to housing will reduce house prices by 0%, 1%, 3% or the outlier says 5% over time. All say rents will go up. Reminder the typical Australian home costs eight times more than the typical income. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

A budget detail many missed last night was how the Albanese Labor government is addressing what it calls social cohesion. It is cutting $9 million from the Australian Human Rights Commission, the independent body that protects and serves every community equally.

Want to know why most people aren’t winners out of this budget? Because Labor is spending billions on bad things. Things like a bloated $500+ million Australian Submarine Agency with zero submarines, and hundreds of staff trying to create a nuclear waste dump.

Tonight’s Labor budget has nothing for you, but billions more for weapons manufacturers, a free-ride for multinational gas exporters, savage cuts to people on NDIS and even more money for cruelty to refugees.

Four years into this Labor government and we can see what they are all about. Super profits for gas corporations, cuts to people on NDIS, billions more for war and AUKUS and changes to negative gearing and property taxes that only make inequality worse.

The Albanese Government sent Australian troops to the UAE. We now know the UAE is directly involved in the war. Don't believe the war parties when they cry crocodile tears over rising prices and cost of living. They are responsible for it.

Labor are spinning this as a ‘restrained and sensible’ budget. There’s nothing ‘restrained’ about $53 billion more for war and AUKUS. Nothing ‘sensible’ about homelessness and poverty. Unless you are the 1%

It’s getting harder to have a roof over your head. The Federal Government (the big one in Canberra which has most of the money) needs to build people homes to fix this.

Join us TONIGHT in Chatswood to hear from Senator David Shoebridge, Professor Wanning Sun & Dr David Brophy on the real costs of AUKUS: our billions, our sovereignty, and our future. 📅 7–8:30PM | 📍 7 Victor St, Chatswood RSVP link here 🔗: contact-nsw.greens.org.au/civicrm/even...

While UK Labor collapses the UK Greens are fighting back and winning. Decency, a belief that people want to be part of a good society that fairly shares the wealth, is how you fight the hard-right anti-immigration politics that threatens Australia too

Meeting with the Cuban Ambassador today about the humanitarian crisis occurring as a result of the US blockade. Hospitals are losing power, schools are closing down, and food is becoming scarce. The world should unite against this.

Homelessness is a policy choice and a policy failure. As the 1% don't have to pay their fair share, everyone else is suffering. Societies don't work when a few hoard the wealth of the many. www.smh.com.au/national/a-m...

Today Labor is giving $74 million more to AFP and ASIO to police children online, but we remember how they spent $507k radicalising a 13yo autistic boy after his parents asked police for help, then charged him with terrorism.

Welcome to blood profits season: where every major fossil fuel company announces windfall profits thanks to mass murder and the 2nd global fossil fuel price crisis this decade. We cannot stay trapped in this cage. Time to escape. New Al Jazeera op-ed live here www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Labor cutting the Melbourne to Brisbane inland rail off at Parkes is so shortsighted. Parkes is nice but who would spend billions building a Melbourne to Parkes freight line? Just when we need to move freight from road to rail they do this. No vision.

The inquiry into offshore detention heard about horrific instances of sexual assault occurring before basic health care was provided. I put this to the current 'healthcare' provider on Nauru.

Hearing from Mariam, a refugee who fled Iran and was held on Nauru and is still denied a home in Australia: "I don't know what will happen today to me, to my husband, my little one, you know. I think the politicians have power to change this law, this cruelty."

Just opened the offshore detention inquiry with Human Rights Law Centre, making the important point: " It has simply pushed the death offshore behind a veil of corruption and secrecy."

Today, we will be getting to the bottom of the rot at the heart of offshore detention. Billions spent to brutalise refugees. It's a toxic system.

We now know that the Chief of Navy has ordered every Australian embedded in every US nuclear submarine to follow all orders given them by the US military. If they don't they face disciplinary charges. We need to end AUKUS before we become the official 51st US State.

This is what AUKUS looks like in practice - we do what Trump and the US tells us meaning a total loss of sovereignty

NACC Deputy Commissioner Nicole Rose has resigned. This moment is a key test for the Government and if they're going to step up on the integrity needed for NACC to actually work and have public trust.

The cost of legal fees for the Jewish Council of Australia to attend the Royal Commission is going to dwarf their 2025 budget. Donate here: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/urgent-royal...

The NT government tortures children, with spit hoods, isolation and a youth ‘justice’ policy designed to take children from family and country. It’s all paid for by the Commonwealth that funds 80 cents in each dollar the NT spends. Time to make them accountable. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

As we speak, Israel is currently illegally hijacking a boat that is going to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza. There are Australians on board the Global Sumud Flotilla. The Albanese Government must respond.

The war on drugs is officially making organised crime obscenely rich and all the while pumping more money and more power into police, the security state and jails. It’s the worst co-dependency in history.

In a keynote speech delivered to the Chamber of Minerals and Energy. Another budget for the 1% and stuff everyone else. TAX THEM.

In a cost of living crisis this amount of money wasted is worse than obscene.

250 staff. $65 million per year. Almost three years operating. Over 6000 referrals. Not a single public hearing. Not a single major corruption finding.

It costs nearly $1.3 million a year to keep a young person in a prison in the NT says NAAJA. The NT continues to have the highest rate of young people in detention in Australia, almost all young people in detention in the NT are Aboriginal. Today it's 95 per cent.

Utterly shameful failure to meet the moment from Labor - it's not populist it's popular and he's listening to his mining mates instead of the people.

Evidence from Northern Territory Paediatricians about what locking 10 and 11 year old kids does to them. These experts know that it causes serious harm. The NT Government initially tried to ignore them and then to silence them. It's shameful.

Second day of hearings in Darwin for the youth justice inquiry today - Worth noting it's also second day of the NT Government refusing the front up! We finish early to head to Groote Eylandt where we will be visiting youth programs that are having extraordinary positive impact.

This is wrong on about 8 levels

Speaking in Nightcliff about the dangers of AUKUS and how it puts a big red target on Darwin - spend the $1 million an hour on something people actually need!

Visits to Hoops 4 Health and Brother to Another in Darwin this afternoon to hear about programs working with young people through sport and culture for healing and employment 🏀

Big Brother is watching you and: 1. he's an absolute fascist 2. the Australian Government gave him your data Time to block all new Palantir contracts and do a public review of what data they have now!

The Larrakia Nation turned up today to the hearing into youth justice but the NT Government (who are the ones responsible for the harms kids are facing in the NT) has refused to come. I agree with Uncle Eric Fejo that it's an absolute disgrace.
