The Yallourn coal plant is not only a huge polluter, it’s increasingly unreliable. So why are the Victorian Labor government spending taxpayer dollars to prop it up, rather than replacing it with clean, reliable renewables?

Continuing to throw money at failed Carbon Capture & Storage just entrenches more fossil fuels, and locks in a future of devastating climate impacts - floods, fires & 50 degree days. That money would be better spent building out renewables, and electrifying our homes & industry.

The recognition of Palestine is a victory for the many Australians who have been calling for this, but will not end the genocide in Gaza. The Albanese Government must now sanction Israel for its criminal actions the way it has sanctioned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

People voted for climate action, and Labor is squandering the opportunity to make that happen. This could be the parliament where we take ambitious action – we have the numbers. We say again to the government: don’t make climate delay your legacy, have some ambition.

The government says from 2035 to 2050, the biggest absolute cuts in emissions across all sectors will come from transport. But gov stats show that from 2005, transport emissions have just continued to grow. How's this going to work?

Labor has given up on the science and caved in to their coal and gas donors. Just this month they approved the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere, and now they’ve set a weak climate target that will mean devastating heatwaves, fires and floods for us all.

12/9 - Labor approves biggest gas export project in the country, out to 2070. 15/9 - Labor releases chilling climate report. 18/9 - Labor gives up on the science and caves in to their coal and gas donors. committing to just 62-70% climate target by 2035.

Labor’s weak 2035 target will mean devastating impacts of climate change for you and me, and continued massive profits for fossil fuel companies.

This is what our future looks like without urgent climate action. How can Labor look at those stats and keep approving fossil fuel projects like Woodside's NW Shelf, or gas drilling off Victoria’s southern coast?

This is what Australia's future could look like without strong action on climate. Melbourne could see 50°C days, and a tripling of heat deaths. The Climate Risk Report shows us that we desperately need strong, science-based climate targets and an end to coal and gas.

After months of Greens pressure, Fed Labor finally released a new report that shows just how badly climate change will affect Australia. We're already facing more frequent & intense heatwaves, bushfires, droughts, floods & rising sea levels - and it's set to get worse. 🧵 (1/5)

The City of Melbourne’s draft council plan seeks to restrict peaceful protest, with the Labor Lord Mayor even suggesting protests could be restricted to parks. But these streets are our streets - they're where we’ve always come to show our power and make good change.

Today is World Electric Vehicle Day! Transport is Australia's 2nd worst emitter, and emissions are going up. State & Federal governments need to be doing more to help people switch to electric cars (as well as improving walking, cycling and public transport options) #WorldEVDay

After decades of leadership from First Nations people, today the first ever Treaty bill is being introduced in the Victorian Parliament! This bill lays the groundwork for further negotiations - it's a historic step forward that all Victorians can share in and be proud of.

Treaty must be built on truth, and truth must be followed by action. The Premier must commit to fully implementing all 100 of the Yoorrook Justice Commission’s final report.

Over the next month Labor is planning to push out the remaining public housing residents in a number of towers in Flemington and North Melbourne. To stop this project our community will need to turn out. Send me a DM to get involved.

Labor is letting private developers decide what is 'affordable'. This is what 10,000 public housing residents are about to be plunged into if we don't stop Labor's plan to demolish and privatise all 44 of the public housing towers in Victoria. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Labor have invited gas companies to tender for new offshore gas exploration - potentially damaging our fragile marine ecosystems, as well as the climate. But we don’t need more gas - we need to speed up the shift to clean electricity and batteries. (1/2)

If the education minister really believes that "our children deserve the very best education possible," he'll reverse Labor's $2.4 billion cuts to public school funding. (2/2)

Of course it's important to make sure public school teachers are qualified. But the real problem in Victoria is qualified teachers leaving the profession because we aren't paying them enough. (1/2) www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Yesterday's attack on Camp Sovereignty by far-right extremists is deeply disturbing. It's a highly visible example of the kind of far-right extremism that has been growing for years, preying on and radicalising people - which Labor has failed to take seriously. (1/3)

For years we’ve known that these are the things that will prevent this kind of far-right extremism, we had a parliamentary inquiry to prove it. Yet the government has turned a blind eye. The time to act is now. Implement all the recommendations from the inquiry.

Premier - are you seeing this? It’s been coming for a while, and it’s past time to step in and stop this white-supremacist violence at its root. Youth support, deradicalisation, anti-racism education, tackling inequality.

The rally yesterday and the rampage at Camp Sovereignty is a wake up call for us all. I can’t imagine how distressing this time is for First People and people of colour. Thank you to those who turned up to let neo-nazis know their fascist ideology is not welcome here.

Action on the Murphy Review is so long overdue. Time to get it done. #BanGamblingAds

Happening now: the debate on the Greens' bill to enshrine housing as a human right in Victoria's charter. Tune in: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/watch?page=1...

Former Supreme Court Judge, Kevin Bell gets it. Now let's see if Labor MPs will vote with their values when we bring our bill to Parliament this week. Tune into the debate this Wednesday. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨 The deadline is today! 🚨 In the 9 months Labor has been sitting on this critical climate report, it has approved 8 fossil fuel projects. The Albanese Govt is throwing fuel on the fire while hiding the full impacts from us. Before Labor sets its new emission targets it must release this report!

Do you remember your first protest? Protest is part of a healthy democracy, but Victorian Labor are introducing new laws to suppress your right to protest. Sign the petition and stand up against Labor's anti-protest laws: katherinecopsey.org.au/issue/protec...

Labor continues to invite fossil fuel giants to extract gas from our precious marine environment! If licenses are approved, it could mean seismic blasting in the Otway Basin, right near critical whale habitat. Give your feedback: engage.vic.gov.au/petroleum-ex...

Protest is a normal & vital part of democracy. We’re glad Labor seems to be rethinking its draconian crackdown on our democratic right to protest. The Victorian people don’t want to see Labor go down the path of Trump’s America.

If you’ve tried to buy a home recently, you know the crushing feeling of auctions blowing way past your budget. That’s why the Greens are introducing new laws to: - Force real estate agents to advertise a property’s reserve price - Introduce strong penalties for those who underquote

The truth is out about Australia’s military exports to Israel and ongoing Labor lies. Defence Minister Marles said exports were all “dual use” for civil or military purposes. Turns out 90% are “inherently lethal” or only for military purposes. He has never apologised.

Our AUKUS ‘partners’ in the UK, had a Category A serious nuclear event in Scotland earlier this year that posed an "actual or high potential for radioactive release to the environment.” It’s the second in the last two years. The Scottish public are given zero details about it.

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.

Fantastic news! Tasmania will be phasing out greyhound racing, following many other states and countries around the world. It's long past time for Victoria to put an end to this cruel practice. Sign the petition - ban greyhound racing! katherinecopsey.org.au/issue/ban-gr...

Without an active plan to get off gas, we'll see more sudden withdrawals of gas from towns like this. Labor must do more to ensure an orderly shutdown of gas, with communities given more notice, and more financial support for switching to efficient electric appliances.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Australia must learn from this horrific event, be a good global citizen and finally sign the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty.

It's concerning that the government's new anti-hate task force does not appear to have any representation from the LGBTQIA+ community, despite long-standing issues and a recent spike in anti-LGBTQIA+ hate. Queer lives matter, and the government must take their concerns seriously.

Beautiful Albert Park is disrupted for the Grand Prix every year, and now Labor wants to extend the race period lockout from 7 to 21 days. Have your say: engage.vic.gov.au/the-australi...

The Allan government's second tranche of bail laws are unjust, reckless and unnecessary - and just like the first tranche, they will cause deep harm. They must be withdrawn.

Join the Greens contingent at the rally to stop the demolition and privatisation of public housing - Saturday Aug 2 at 11am at the State Library in Melbourne.

This ruling from the ICJ should be a wake-up call for Labor governments across the nation. If they continue to support new coal and gas projects, like the North West Shelf in WA or the Viva import terminal here in Victoria, they risk breaking international law. #NoMoreCoalAndGas

The risks are clear. Labor should withdraw tranche two of their bail laws before the damage is done. #BailSavesLives

It's concerning to see the government proposing to ban e-bikes and e-scooters from public transport - they're an important part of an integrated transport network. How much would this mess with your commute? Have your say: engage.vic.gov.au/public-trans...
