Through our budget negotiations, the Greens have secured $40 MILLION to support Victorians off expensive, polluting fossil gas! This is the power of the Greens in Parliaments – positive outcomes for climate, renters and energy bills.
End the US-Australia alliance. End AUKUS. And may you never speak of “shared values” with these genocidal criminals in Washington again @AlboMP @SenatorWong
It's not just that Israel is imposing a policy of starvation on Gazans; it's also that the U.S. is underwriting this horror and is utterly complicit in it, in both the Biden and Trump administrations. nytimes.com/2025/07/24/opi…
Bring pots and pans. Stop starving Gaza now! 12 pm State Library Sunday Melbourne / Naarm
Words won't feed starved children. Labor needs to finally sanction Israel. End Australia's two-way arms trade - from exported parts for F-35 jets to our contracts with drone manufacturers like Elbit System. And recognise Palestine 🇵🇸
I just got so angry reading Albanese's "strongest statement yet" on Gaza. Words while children starve. Where are the sanctions? Where's the two-way arms embargo? Empty condemnation without action is political theater.
Words, while welcome, won’t feed starving kids. Other countries like France are moving beyond statements with concrete actions to build pressure on the state of Israel to end its genocide in Gaza.
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…
They can put us on the front as starving victims. But we are condemned if we fight back. If we speak up. If we name our killer. If we demand dismantling the ideology, state and system that starves and kills us.
Sanction Israel now. Someone has to start. The world will follow. Before all the children in Gaza die.
Join the Greens contingent at the rally to stop the demolition and privatisation of public housing - Saturday Aug 2 at 11am at the State Library in Melbourne.
I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation…
The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.
Instead of protecting one of Australia and the world’s greatest cultural treasures, @AustralianLabor used a doctored scientific report funded by Woodside to lobby the UN to ditch safeguards protecting Murujuga from Woodside’s acid gas emissions. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit…
The risks are clear. Labor should withdraw tranche two of their bail laws before the damage is done. #BailSavesLives
Solidarity with Mehreen Faruqi, and shame on Labor - who have now taken more concrete action against a Greens senator protesting genocide than the Israeli government committing it. Gaza is starving. Words won't feed them. Sanction Israel.
The Labor Party has imposed more sanctions on Senator Faruqi than they have on Israel for committing a genocide in Gaza. And there has not been a single sanction from Labor for the shameful racism from One Nation Senators we saw in federal parliament this week.
