It’s time for real change. We have a plan to make life affordable and put people before profit. To pay for it, we'll make big corporations pay their fair share.

As your MP, I’m in your corner, fighting for the issues you’ve told me are important. Affordable housing. Real climate action. An economy that gives back to our neighbourhoods. A better future is possible. If you’re fed up with the old parties, it’s time to replace them.

The Northern Metro region is my home. From Broady to Brunswick, our community comes from all over the world, and we built it together. But too many of us are just scraping by — choosing between rent and groceries, watching our public services crumble, and our homelands disappear.

You're right to be frustrated. But the enemy is not your neighbour who speaks a different language. The enemy is the system that profits when we hate each other. It's time we fight back, together. @victoriangreens.bsky.social 💚

Pauline Hanson wants you to blame your neighbours, instead of blaming the billionaires and CEOs making your life worse. Supermarkets keep ripping us off. Landlords keep raising the rent. The rich get richer. Everyone else struggles. Because if we are fighting each other, we aren't fighting them.

The Govt treats gendered violence as inevitable, when it’s preventable. Kids are waking up everyday w/o their mums, being killed by male violence. The State Labor Gov know the solutions, but refuse to properly implement them. PS: Calling me disgraceful for speaking up for dead women? Shameful.

Working families, renters, and migrants continue to pay the price. The Greens are the only party with a plan to make Victorians’ lives easier. Don’t settle for the circus. It’s time for real change 💚

It doesn’t matter who the Victorian Premier is. If they’re from a major party, the results will be the same. Clowns fighting harder for their own job titles than they fight for you.

Not surprised that Victorian teachers are considering industrial action. Vic teachers are the lowest paid in Aus & last year Jacinta Allan's Labor Gov cut $2.4 billion from public schools, most of which would have gone to boosting school staff & increasing teacher salaries. 1/4

Our solidarity is with Elder Herbert Bropho, who was speaking at that terrifying moment, and all the mob, organisers, and attendees affected. We will not be intimidated. We will keep marching for truth, justice, healing and a future free from this hate.

After last year’s attack on Camp Sovereignty in Narrm, it’s clear far-right violence is escalating, and Indigenous people are paying the price. Complacent governments & a media that fuels hate enable this. Indigenous lives are not disposable and we must take this deadly threat seriously.

Anasina Gray-Barberio @anasinagraybarberio.org.au · 28/01/2026
Violence against Indigenous people is foundational to this country — from frontier wars to stolen kids, deaths in custody & over-incarceration. This attack on a peaceful rally is yet another example. The fight for First Nations justice is more important than ever.

First Nations & multicultural communities know the truth: policing targets areas shaped by socioeconomic inequality, systemic oppression and racism — where racialised communities live and work. Now is the time for a Police Ombudsman.

If policing is about crime alone, why does Yarra see less surveillance than Greater Dandenong, despite higher crime rates? This new study exposes the myth that Vic Police simply “go where the crime is.” designatedareas.centreagainstracialprofiling.au

In the space of two weeks, we’ve seen climate whiplash in Australia: • Bushfires ravaging more than 400,000 hectares of land • More than 100 homes destroyed • Families and communities displaced & grieving • Loss of human life, livestock & wildlife • Flash flooding in coastal towns, wreaking havoc

The Victorian Greens unequivocally condemn this act of racial hatred and all forms white supremacists' extremism.

Anasina Gray-Barberio @anasinagraybarberio.org.au · 12/01/2026
We have said it before, and we will say it again: racially motivated hate crimes and extremist ideologies have no place in our society. We reject all forms of hate, racism and bigotry, and those who seek to peddle fear and division in our communities.

These targeted and disproportionate acts of violence on Muslim-Australians demand urgent and comprehensive action from this Labor Government, so all Victorians are safe, irrespective of their faith, creed or background.

Anasina Gray-Barberio @anasinagraybarberio.org.au · 12/01/2026
The recent despicable alleged racial attack against a Victorian Imam and his wife in South Gippsland reflects an accelerating rise of structural and overt anti-Muslim hate and racism. White supremacist ideologies must be confronted and stamped out.

We are so pleased that our campaign for emergency funding for cohealth has been successful, with the federal government hearing the community and ensuring GP funding until 31 July 2026. BUT we need a LONG-TERM solution and support from the Victorian Labor Government.

The Jacinta Allan Labor Government’s decision to introduce life sentences for children proves once again that Labor is only interested in cynical attempts to look tough - not implementing policies that actually work to improve community safety. 🧵 (1/4)

Millions of vulnerable civilians and children are being starved, entire villages and refugee camps burned, and communities ethnically cleansed. The world cannot stay silent. This is one of the gravest humanitarian crises of our time and it must not be ignored.

What’s happening in El-Fasher, West Sudan is appalling. Bloodshed visible from space must never be normalised. We are seeing massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law. The RSF militia, backed by the UAE and foreign powers, are fueling this ongoing proxy war. 🧵

Any move to further reduce support allowances for carers is a bad one, and shows how backwards Labor’s priorities are. Labor needs to properly fund foster carers so that they can continue to support the thousands of Victorian kids in need of out-of-home care.

Anasina Gray-Barberio @anasinagraybarberio.org.au · 22/10/2025
Foster carers are already stretched thin – chronically under-resourced and often have to dig into their own pockets to provide for their kids.

This is deeply concerning. Cuts to health, cuts to education, and now cuts to foster care – this is not what looking after our kids looks like.

Another unacceptable, totally preventable death in custody. Substance abuse and mental health episodes should be met with a care-first public health response, not punitive policing that escalates and ends in tragedy. Being in distress should not be a death sentence.

But the Israeli government has violated ceasefires before. Even now, hours after the agreement has been signed, they are still bombing Gaza City. Australia must do everything in its power to hold Israel and the US to this agreement, and ensure peace is sustained.

Victorian children deserve a safeguarding system that leaves no room for predatory behaviour to take hold. Now more than ever, we must ensure that our child safe frameworks and systems are not only vigilant in identifying risks, but also prompt and effective in taking decisive action.
Headline from ABC News: 

Victorian childcare worker denies abusing toddlers, says he is appealing ban

Pull quotes from the article:

“A flawed system”
“...These processes and this outcome did not support child safety.”
“When numerous workers complained about Peter's behaviour, the company responded by telling him to "tone down" his physical interactions with children.”
"Children seem to live in a legal void, a legal black hole where they can't speak on their own behalf."

This government has failed. For 3 years, it has ignored the clear roadmap from the 2022 Inquiry into Extremism, which included funding to challenge radical beliefs, anti-racism education, and action to stamp out white supremacist groups. Yesterday’s violence is the result of their inaction.

Anasina Gray-Barberio @anasinagraybarberio.org.au · 01/09/2025
The white supremacist violence we saw in Melbourne yesterday was disgraceful. Far-right extremists marched with racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Indigenous hatred before attacking First Nations people at Camp Sovereignty. Nazis have no place here. Our full solidarity is with those targeted.
