2 years ago Labor had a chance to freeze rents when Amy MacMahon introduced our bill to freeze & cap rents. Labor's inaction has now cost renters $7085. That's $ that could've helped renters buy their 1st home. That's $ many renters didn't have & pushed them into homelessness

The Greens will not support Labor’s Reserve Bank legislation until interest rates are cut. Both the Treasurer and the RBA Governor have said the reforms are important. Now they know what they have to do to get them done - provide some much needed relief to mortgage holders.

For the government to make vague platitudes about peace in Lebanon, just as for Palestine, without imposing a weapons embargo on the genocidal Israeli regime, is truly morally depraved

Today, with colleagues, I introduced legislation to block arms sales to Israel. Sending more weapons to Netanyahu's extremist government is immoral & illegal: U.S. weapons are responsible for far too many civilian casualties in Gaza. We must end our complicity in this atrocity.

hey great news about that surplus though

It’s getting too hard and too expensive to get healthcare in Australia. Today I’m proud to launch the Greens plan to make sure you can see the GP (and dentist, psychologist or nurse) for free. And we’ll pay for it by taxing the mega-profits of big corporations.

Baffling that this still needs to be said: Anti-Zionism ≠ antisemitism. Israel ≠ Judaism. Protesting senseless killing ≠ celebrating. Criticising the actions of the state of Israel ≠ hating all Jews. It's not hard, unless you have rocks for brains.

Peter Dutton’s suggestion that anti-war protests are somehow ‘anti-Jewish’ is a view which encourages racism and division. Jews and Palestinians refuse to be made enemies by racist politicians.
