How are these questions remotely complicated? I trust the ABS and the expert panel put together for these questions in the census more than I trust the vibes-based approach of the PM.

The Whitlam Gov introduced free university, the precursor to Medicare, and oversaw a mass build of public housing. Why, in the middle of the worst housing crisis in generations, should renters accept worse than scraps from a Labor party that has forgotten they are in gov

Just so we're clear. This project is being in part funded by the $2 billion social housing acceletor - that's part of the $3 billion of direct investment in social housing the Greens secured in return for PASSING Labor's Housing Fund that still hasn't built a single home.

Woolworths and Coles have been caught red-handed price gouging during a cost-of-living crisis, and Labor’s been asleep at the wheel. These corporate villains are profiting off fake discounts and ripping off Australians.

If you want to help people buy a home, then Labor should work with the Greens to phase out negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount, and establish a government owned developer to build quality homes and sell them for cheap to first home buyers.

I have said it before and I will say it again, the Greens are the only party with a guarantee that every single MP will vote for women’s right to choose, every single time. Queensland Greens #QandA #auspol #abortion

People with student debt are hurting. This down payment on wiping all student debt can't be held to ransom until after the next election. The PM says he wants the next government to cut debts, but he could do it now. Today I wrote to the PM, offering to pass the cuts this year.

In a word? Grim. Tomorrow, the fight for a fairer and more just world continues. It is never going to be easy but it’s a fight we must have. Neoliberalism is incapable of saving us from the far right, fascism, and climate change. Bold, structural change is our only hope.
