We are at serious risk of leaving the next generation worse off than us.

Young people are losing hope that climate change will be addressed, and they're losing hope of ever owning a home.

I don't blame them given how timid the major parties are.

Julian Assange has been granted leave to appeal.

Our government shouldn’t wait for results of this process. Australia must insist that the United States stops prosecuting Assange - for his sake, and for the sake of press freedom, and the rule of law.

The Victorian Government's Ministerial diaries were just published.

It's crazy the Federal Government doesn't do the same, as called for in my #CleanUpPoliticsAct .

We deserve to know who our Ministers meet with and why.

Time to open up the diaries.

I cannot get my head around the Budget finding only $111 million a year for additional mental health services while we’re still happy to give the fossil fuel industries $14.5 billion a year in subsidies.

For the sake of our children and grandchildren, we must listen less to fossil fuel lobbyists and more to climate scientists.

Wonderful to walk the Mother’s Day Classic with thousands of other Victorians this morning: since 1998, it’s raised $44 million for breast cancer research.

This year, ovarian cancer is also a focus.

Wishing a peaceful day, spent with people you love, to all Australian women.

Feels like the climate wars are back… but these wars are internecine.

These people can’t get themselves together.

The next generation deserves better.

Labor has approved new coal mines and backed new gas fields, ignoring warnings from scientists in favour of lobbying from the fossil fuel industry.

This is not the climate action people voted for. We don't need coal and gas, we need large-scale solar, wind and batteries - ASAP.

First they came for the AFR…

Australia is blessed with abundant renewables.

We need to develop our solar and wind energy and expand storage and transmission capacity - not do deals with the multinationals for more gas exports.

Great to see Catherine King MP announce $100m for active transport on this year’s Budget.

The health benefits of cycling save the Australian health system $313m a year - while avoiding 500k tonnes of CO2 emissions.

It’s time to build the Hawthorn-Box Hill bike trail!

Thanks, the Age, for acknowledging that the action on HECS that we’ve seen in the last 24 hrs reflects the impact of communities and their representatives rallying together for positive change.

There’s much more to do on HECS - this is just the start.

Fantastic news on HECS debts this morning.

Thank you to each and every one of the 288,004 people who signed the petition.
