@ronnisalt.bsky.social a long term Labor supporter (First ever vote was for Gough... could never vote for Latham) I'm no longer a rusted on. Albo is a bitter disappointment & I've been totally disillusioned for several years, @davidshoebridge.bsky.social is a glimmer of hope. Greens must govern.

The Labor Government promised Parliament that it would step up its advocacy against executions worldwide, so now they need to show they mean it. Silence from the Prime Minister now exposes the terrible truth that our national principles stop where the US alliance begins.

Time and time again, we hear the Albanese Labor Government talking about the ‘shared values’ between Australia and the US. I don’t think anyone in Australia would identify with this behaviour.

This shows just how extreme the US is. Livestreaming an execution by firing squad is the behaviour of a bloodthirsty dictator. Yet the Albanese Government is tying us closer and closer to the Trump regime.

Now polling isn’t everything, but this doesn’t stop at the polls. Last night I was at an event talking about the Greens’ vision to rebuild this country – and the room was overflowing. Over the last few weeks we’ve seen an incredible number of you sign up to join our movement.

A new poll has shown the Greens' vote is on the rise! The Greens are the most popular party with young people & ahead of their state election, the Victorian Greens are polling at record highs. People want change.

Labor can't call itself a climate leader while it keeps approving new coal and gas. Governments must lead. New coal and gas is incompatible with a safe climate. Congratulations, Tony and Wendy. You've shown us we can win.

But it shouldn't take everyday people years in court to force anyone to consider the climate. That's how broken our environmental laws are.

This is what happens when communities step up where governments fail. The High Court has made clear that planning authorities can't ignore greenhouse gas emissions when assessing fossil fuel projects. That's a landmark win for climate accountability.

I know Tony and Wendy well. They're good friends and long-time Greens, and they've spent decades fighting to protect the Hunter Valley they love. Today they took on the fossil fuel giants and got an important win.

They don’t trust Australia to fix a problem when Labor keeps making it worse. Approving NSW’s largest ever coal project just weeks before COP shows how unserious Labor is on climate.

Senator David Shoebridge @davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Labor’s hypocrisy on coal and gas means Australia’s climate authority, especially with our Pacific neighbours, is falling apart. Pacific Island leaders are boldly fighting to protect their nations from deadly global warming caused by coal & gas. It’s literally a life and death struggle for them.

Allowing Open AI to call these “rogue agents” lets them dodge responsibility - they made them, directed them and set them free without caring about the consequences. Our laws need to catch up to hold them accountable before worse happens.

Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

The answer to One Nation and the far right isn't capitulation: it's hope, courage and action. That means material change: kids fed before school, a fair return on our resources, rapid climate action, no new coal and gas, and stopping US tech bros from owning our future.

The economy is broken. Millions working full-time can’t afford a home while corporate profits soar and billionaires buy off politicians. Labor won't stop this: in fact, they’ve created the exact conditions for corporate greed to thrive.

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. Labor has proven they can't stop One Nation because they made the conditions for them to thrive in. Only the Greens can.

Senator David Shoebridge @davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
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.

Australia shouldn’t get a seat at the UN security council
Australia is campaigning for a Security Council seat on a promise to defend international law. Yet Albanese condemned Russia by name while saying nothing comparable about US actions – even after Trump threatened from the same UN stage to “annihilate” Iran.

Still so little information from the Albanese Government over what data they are planning to hand over to Trump. Every level of this Government is just addicted to secrecy. This agreement will cover our information, surely the public should know about negotiations.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used his recent United Nations address to make a pitch for a seat at the Security Council. He highlighted how the world was spinning into conflict, but refused to name the one nation that has been most responsible for this. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/09...

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.

Murdoch ally appointed next consul general in New York
The appointment of a senior Murdoch executive to a plum diplomatic posting in New York has raised questions about Anthony Albanese’s judgement and his relationship with the right-wing mogul.

Senator David Shoebridge @davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Posts like this should go through an open, merit-based appointment process. Instead we get a captain’s pick from Newscorp HQ. To be clear, Newscorp is a multinational US corporation with interests that do not align with those of the Australian people. Appalling stuff.
Quote from Senator Shoebridge from Sat Paler article saying: "Diplomatic postings aren't meant to bejobs the PM hands out as sweeteners to his insider mates in News Corp... Handing Lachlan Murdoch's top strategist a plum NY diplomatic post shows exact! who calls the shots in Canberra.

The world is being torn apart by US aggression, using its military, trade and AI as weapons, and Albanese failed to mention this even once in his UN address. If you cannot even name the problem, why should anyone believe you can address it?
