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!

There’s a bunch of anti-Trans activists at Parliament House today meeting with sympathetic politicians. Great to see a quick response from pro- Trans rights activists in Canberra making sure their voices are heard and exposing the bigots at this demo.

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 🇵🇸

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.

When agency heads turn up to Estimates hearings and are unable to answer a single question, there's something seriously wrong. What's going on at the BOM? #auspol Bureau of Meteorology, Australia

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

Everybody needs to get out on the street and let Peter Dutton and the Liberals know that we don't need or want his nuclear nightmare in our backyard or anybody's backyard! No Nukes!

The Federal Police are now investigating PwC while PwC are the auditors of none other than the Federal Police. Is there no end to the conflicts of interest in this story?

Speaking over the top of others is not on. Calling them names is not on. Senator James McGrath showed how not to behave in Senate Estimates. Calling me, and my party, racist and antisemitic, is a lie. #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.

The Greens won't stand in the way of anything that gives first homebuyers a leg up, but we need to get serious about fixing the structures locking out first homebuyers. We need to scrap negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount.

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.

If you’re getting paid twice the amount of the PM, I would expect you to be able to answer questions about money spent in your role.

Consultancy firm charging $440k for an AI generated report with huge errors? Ethical, apparently.

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.
