Our world is getting hotter - and extreme heat is more deadly than bushfires, floods, storms & cyclones combined. The Greens will replace Labor’s coal and gas with cheaper, publicly-owned renewable energy to cut climate pollution - and permanently lower Victorians’ energy bills.

Labor's spend on KPMG has nearly doubled from $32 mil in 2024-25 to $59 mil in 2025-26. Labor has been watching a repeat of scandals & still hasn’t delivered meaningful reform. The temporary month-to-month freeze on KPMG is nothing but a pathetic, tokenistic punishment.
