The Greens have never been about one person. We are tens of thousands of members, volunteers, and supporters who believe politics should serve people and the planet, not big polluters. The rich have enough politicians in their pocket. Our job is to fight for you.

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.

Together, Steph and I have taken on AUKUS, fossil fuel giants, tech billionaires, and exposed Australia's defence links to Gaza. We aren't here to push Labor to be a little better: we are here to replace them.

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.

the RBA board are unanimously psychopaths with no regard for the pain they cause
RBA board unanimously voted to hike and is ready to lift rates again.

The RBA’s rate-setting board has warned its fears about inflation were coming to fruition and it is ready to lift interest rates again, in its statement accompanying its decision today.

The nine-member unanimously voted to lift rates to 4.6%, showing stronger resolve than ANZ and Westpac had forecast (each predicted a split vote).

It singled out a broadening Middle East conflict and strong AI-related demand for pushing up prices globally. Locally, inflation was higher than the RBA expected and businesses were either lifting their prices or looking to do so.

The board said higher fuel prices were partially being passed on to prices of other goods and services and it was possible the ongoing US war on Iran could push inflation still higher and drag global economic activity even lower.

The RBA has already lifted interest rates three times this year. The board said those hikes appeared to be slowing the economy but another was needed to bring too-high inflation back down “in a reasonable period”.

It warned it was not necessarily done moving rates:

The Board will continue to do what it considers necessary to bring inflation sustainably back to target, including increasing the cash rate target further if needed.

I wasn't going to say anything at all, but a few lovely souls expressed concern when I stopped incessantly posting my rage, grief, work, bad humour and fluffy animals. 

I have just taken a smidgen of annual leave. It's been a while. And a crucial part of that actually helping me is being offline as much as (fucken) possible for a lil’ bit. The last few years have been… I dunno what the appropriate word is… let's just go with difficult. Hard. 

I'm not running away. Not retreating. Just breathing. Being invisible. Being human. I’d encourage everyone to do the same when and if the moment presents itself. The world is heavy, the fight is eternal, resistance is a collective effort, and these machines and platforms - as integral and powerful as they have become - feed on our souls. Please don't worry. Just having a moment. Thank you for caring xx
