The Greens will work with the government to pass reforms through federal and state parliaments to tighten the rules around gun ownership. This is not America and we must  work both to eradicate antisemitism and racism and to reduce unnecessary guns in our community.

It’s now clear tonight’s brutal gun violence was targeting the Jewish community, families gathering to celebrate the 1st night of Chanukah. This is reprehensible and intolerable.

My heart is with the Jewish community who are grieving loved ones, and feeling rocked and fearful.

Jillian Segal is a danger to social cohesion. Claiming that public support for Palestine directly enabled this terror is beyond vile. People who are against genocide in Palestine are also against the murder of Jewish people and anyone else. Segal is a pernicious vulture.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.

Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

The Greens have secured enviro laws with new protections for native forests & stopped Labor from fast-tracking coal & gas.

We’ve got outcomes that forest campaigners have fought for across decades.

We’ve made it harder for big corporations to keep wrecking our environment.

Did you know the definition of ‘housing stress’ is when 30% of your household income is taken up by your rent or mortgage?

This isn’t normal.
