Braving the cold in Canberra today with #ANUGreens to send a message to Labor that students and young people want real action on #studentdebt.

Rental inflation is predicted to DOUBLE next year - this morning Essential found 60% of Australians support a rent freeze & millions are one rent increases away from eviction or financial stress. There is no justification for Labor refusing to coordinate a national rent freeze.
Brilliant news in Victoria this morning. Great work to all those who have been fighting to end native forest logging!💚

We used to fund public housing by funding public housing - let’s go back to the #qanda

Here it is - Tanya Plibersek just approved Labor's first new coal mine.
Opening new coal in a climate crisis shows Labor is in full-blown science denial.
We don't need new coal and the climate cannot afford it.
A wilful act of climate vandalism. Shameful.

We are introducing a bill to the ACT Assembly this week to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility – making the ACT the first Australian jurisdiction to legislate an increase to 14 years.

ACT Police have banned the use of spit hoods. Good. They should never have been used. I’d like to see legislative bans so the ACT never goes back to such dehumanising practices.
A community win! 🎉
Today, Greens MLA for Ginninderra, Jo Clay, tabled a petition with over 3000 signatures, calling for a freestanding birth centre. Canberrans have been campaigning for this since the 80s, and finally today received commitment from the ACT Gov to build one.
Midwives will co-design the northside freestanding birth centre and make sure we get a great outcome. We also got commitment to better support home birthing, birthing on Country and extended midwife-led continuity of care to more birth parents.

Starting the day with a call for more climate action. Great to support the community in their calls for a strong safeguard mechanism so the biggest polluters do their share of cleaning up the planet @GreensACT stand with you @ShaneRattenbury @emmadavidsonACT @jdaviscbr #joclay

A privilege to hear @BehrouzBoochani speak in Parliament House today, urging the Government to support the Greens' bill and end the cruelty and suffering for the 150 refugees still stuck in Nauru & PNG after 10 long years.

My statement on Senator Lidia Thorpe's resignation from the Greens:
Senator Thorpe has made a phenomenal contribution to the Greens and I’m truly sorry to see her leave our party room.
I'm sad to see her go, as I respect her greatly as a fighter for her people.
ACT Greens retweeted
We have worked together as allies against white supremacy and racism in all its forms, and I know we will continue this work along with climate justice and other vital progressive fights.
ACT Greens retweeted
Lidia has been such a strong voice for First Nations people in the Parliament and our Party Room. I have a deep admiration for her unwavering commitment to Blak justice. I’m very sad to see her go.
Great to see @AUWUCBR on Lonsdale Street today!
Today we are protesting out the front of DES provider @Nexus_HS, who have been violating the participant rights of @lawrence75and by goading him into face-to-face appointments, and violating his right to 48 hours consideration of his job plan.

Tomorrow @jdaviscbr will call for a more
progressive approach to drug law reform as part of the
debate on the ‘Drugs of Dependence (Personal Use)
Amendment Bill 2021’. 🧵1/4
The Government’s amendments as they stand will
create a new arbitrary possession threshold that will
retain criminal penalties. In doing so, they risk
continuing to criminalise vulnerable people in our
community who need the most support and the most
compassion. 3/4
