The Greens are a party of peace & non-violence. We stand with people in Australia & around the world calling for an end to this genocide. Permanent ceasefire. And end to occupied Palestine. Unconditional aid access. Prosecution of war crimes. An end to the two-way arms trade.

Australia is not like America. We won't tolerate the oligarchy of billionaires running our government, paying no tax and laughing all the way to the bank. Dutton mimics all of Trumps policies including to sack public servants and give the work to consultants at 3 times the cost.

Today, after 14 months of hearings including more than 60 submissions and 10 days of taking evidence from a wide range of stakeholders, the Senate inquiry into consultants will bring down its Final Report including recommendations on how to fix this broken system.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog isn’t welcome in Australia. The Greens stand with those peacefully protesting as we demand sanctions on Israel & an end to the two way arms trade. We join our voices with the millions who call for an end to genocide and justice for Palestine 🇵🇸

Billionaires are making $67,000 an hour while millions struggle to get by - it's time they paid their fair share! By taxing Australia's 150 billionaires we would raise $50 bn over 10 yrs - enough $ to put dental & mental into Medicare, free GP & 50c public transport. #auspol

How do we Dutton-proof the public sector? The Coalition will cut 40,000 jobs from the APS and bring the Big 4 Consultants back to the trough. Diminished services at three-times the cost. Labor needs to do more to ensure there is no return to these wasteful practices.

A home is allowed to just be a home. Fixing Australia’s housing crisis requires a huge investment in directly building public and social housing. Build public housing. Thanks Wil Stracke for giving evidence to the Senate Inquiry on intergenerational housing inequality!

SA Libs want to amend state abortion law forcing those seeking a late abortion, which is rare & carefully managed, to have their pregnancy induced. That means a forced birth & a hard abortion ban past 28 wks. Abortion is a health issue. Keep your culture wars off our bodies.

When I asked why nearly 2000 Big 4 consultants are wandering around Defence Dept with a Pass, all they could say was "most them work here almost full time". Why aren't we paying public servants to do this work? At least we could trust them not to be stitching up another contract!

Dutton's claims that he won't cut frontline public services fall pretty flat while he is still intent on slashing tens of thousands of bureaucrats - where does he think those jobs come from? Cutting the public service just means handing our money to consultants & big business.
