👍 Now with added alt.txt for the visually impaired... I'm kind of sad I had to do this.
Statement from Senator
David Shoebridge and
Senator Steph Hodgins-May
Senator David Shoebridge and Senator
Steph Hodgins-May are seeking to form
a fresh leadership team for the Federal
Greens as Leader and Deputy Leader.
We are excited by what we can and must
do together as Greens. This is the time
to build our movement as the home for
every Australian who wants action on the
climate crisis, a fair return from our
resources, a secure home and income,
and to not sell out our independence to
the US or the 1%.
We do not seek to reform Labor, but to
replace them.
THE
GREENS
Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.
The answer to the rise of One Nation and
the far right is giving people hope, and
making people's lives better with real
economic and environmental security. It is
as simple as a meal before school, as
clear as no new coal and gas, and as
challenging as holding back the wave of
US billionaire tech bros and their vampire
Al data centres.
This will mean making the Greens a bigger
mass movement and upholding the
grassroots pillar the party was founded
on. We have heard, and respect, the calls
for genuine grassroots involvement in
selection of the leadership team and will
work with the party on this.
THE
GREENS
Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.
Labor has proven they can't stop
One Nation because they made the
conditions for them to thrive in.
Only the Greens can.
Staring down the climate crisis,
war, greed and an ever more
unsure future, the Greens will not
stop fighting. For you, and with you.
Come join us.
THE
GREENS
Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.

RW economists respond to rate rise by calling for, Increased GST, cuts to govt spending and increased productivity. No mention of poor management systems, increased company profits, declining business investment, increased executive salaries. Just screw battling Australians 🤬

The same conflicted media & right wing parties who are now demanding the govt “slash spending” spent all year pushing for more spending on tax breaks for wealthy investors. Let’s be real: they love spending. They just hate funding things that actually matter. #auspol

We (rightly) talk a lot about gas, but we should not forget we export a hell of a lot more coal and most of it is for burning for electricity rather than being used to produce steel. And all of it destroys the planet. #NoNewMines

This is why fuel prices are pushing $3 a litre. Because Trump has no idea how to end the war he (and Netanyahu) started with Iran. That’s the war that Labor, the Coalition and One Nation all cheered on in February. It’s the war the Greens opposed. The only party that did.

The bureaucracy did its job as it was corrupted to do. If a corporation needs a tax cut, it happens overnight. If the public needs protecting, it's stalled by paperwork. This is not democracy. They just made it look that way.
