Criticism of Israel and the genocidal Zionist project is not antisemitism. We will not be intimidated into silence. Free Palestine.

Instead of fighting Pauline Hanson, Labor is letting her ghost write their migration policy. It is craven, cowardly and just emboldens the far right.

We will not be party to making forest protection contingent on a mechanism that drives their destruction.

National Threatened Species Day has been observed in Australia for 30 years. It marks the death of the last Tasmanian Tiger in 1936, driven to extinction by a government bounty. Yet in 2026 governments are still failing, and we are facing yet more totally avoidable extinctions and habitat loss.

Vale Dolly Parton and Tim Curry - two incredible advocates for LGBTQIA+ rights, education, and inclusion.

Young Australians (25 and under) can submit a speech through the Raise Our Voice website until August 14th. Can't wait to make this year's speech. It's time to make positive change for young people in this country.

Stoked to again be taking part in the Raise Our Voice campaign this year! Raise Our Voice is an exciting opportunity to ensure young voices are heard loud and clear in our Parliament.

The Greens welcome the launch of a national campaign to end native forest logging. This is a critical moment in defence of Australia's precious forests.

The Albanese Government accepted UN human rights recommendations for other marginalised groups, but rejected every recommendation relating to LGBTIQA+ people. At a time of renewed attacks on queer communities, Labor should not be so abjectly capitulating to the far right.
An image produced by ABCQueer with their logo at the top. Small black text on a white background reading: 

The federal government has rejected all recommendations relating to the LGBTQIA+ community from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) peer-review process.

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a process in which the human rights record of each UN Member State is reviewed by other members every four and a half years.
More than 120 UN members made
recommendations for improving Australia's human rights protections.

Recommendations were made for a range of marginalised groups, such as children, women, people with disabilities, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. However, LGBTQIA+ people were the only group for which the government did not accept any recommendations.

One Nation is the local arm of a globalised dark money network, promoting fascism and division across the world. The Greens are here to fight them every step of the way.

The Labor and Liberal Party are colluding with the mendicant forestry industry by destroying nature, emitting massive amounts of carbon and bleeding the Tasmanian and Australian tax payers through public subsidies. It is time to end native forest logging.

Labor’s proposed cuts to the NDIS represent one of the most serious attacks on the rights, independence and dignity of disabled Australians in recent memory. The Greens will do everything we can to stop this bill.

Labor and the Liberals are colluding to plunder Tasmania’s native forests, ship logs across Bass Strait and saw them in Victorian mills, with public subsidies propping up every step of the way.

The Bureau of Meteorology has declared an El Niño, and Tasmania has just recorded its warmest May on record. This is what climate breakdown looks like. Not in some distant future. Right now.

Yesterday we learned that Labor and the Liberals are working on a bilateral agreement to approve Tasmanian logging operations. This is being done before the relevant environmental standards have even been finalised. This is totally unacceptable.

Can you believe this? Labor is handing over tens of millions of dollars from an emissions reduction fund to help a Tasmanian cement plant burn native forests.

The AFR Rich List shows a grotesque accumulation of wealth while millions of Australians struggle with the cost of living. There are now 178 billionaires in Australia, 17 more than a year ago. Australia doesn't have a wealth problem. Australia has a wealth distribution problem.

It's a relief to see the brave Aussie activists who took part in the Global Sumud Flotilla are now home. What they have been through at the hands of the state of Israel is truly horrific.

I was asked during a radio interview this morning what my reaction was to the treatment of Australian citizens by Israel following the capture and detention of 11 of our own who had joined the global sumud flotilla.

Israel is a rogue state which is kidnapping Australian citizens on the high seas in complete disregard for international law. It’s nothing less than piracy and the Australian government needs to stop hand-wringing and take action. Call or email your MP now.

The Reserve Bank has confirmed what millions of Australians already knew: big corporations used the cost of living crisis to push through higher prices and boost profits. Corporate price gouging helped fuel inflation.

Coles and Woolworths treat customers with contempt because they have an iron grip on this country’s grocery sector. As the Greens-led Senate inquiry found, Australia needs divestiture powers to forcibly break up the supermarket duopoly.

While you get smashed with higher rents and mortgages, flat wages and prices going up across the economy, corporations post huge profits and the 1% get richer. We need to tax the super wealthy and big corporations to pay for a good life for everyone.

Today’s interest rate rise will further entrench economic inequality and deliver more money into the pockets of the 1% at the expense of renters and mortgage holders.

Six Australians were abducted and abused by Israeli forces in international waters this week for trying to deliver aid to the people of Gaza.

Trump’s senseless war on Iran, supported on day one by the Prime Minister, is making the cost of living crisis worse for everyday Australians and increasing the risk of another interest rate rise. The longer the war drags on, the more that everyday people will pay the price.

The AFL Appeal Board’s decision to slash a penalty imposed for a homophobic slur is appalling, and its statement of reasons makes it worse. Homophobia should have no place in the AFL, or our society at all, and the AFL Commission needs to intervene and make that clear.

The Greens today supported repealing the government’s weak regulations on cash acceptance. But the Labor and Liberal parties disgracefully voted together to lock in behind rules that let the vast majority of corporations off the hook.

A disgraceful move by the National Press Club to platform Israel’s ambassador to Australia today after Israel overnight introduced an apartheid death penalty regime for Palestinians.

The Australian Government needs to do more to protect trans and non-binary Australians travelling to the US. Right now, official advice is inadequate and lagging behind the reality people are facing.

How far the Labor party has fallen that it would join Australia to such a catastrophic war, launched by Trump under Zionist pressure and to distract from his Epstein complicity.

There's nothing sustainable about krill fishing. Krill are the foundation of the Antarctic marine ecosystem, relied on by whales, seals, penguins and countless other species. The exploitation of krill for profit has to end.

If Labor is worried about petrol prices they should stop cheer-leading the war that’s driving them up. Oppose the war. Stand for peace.

Tomorrow the PM is meeting state and territory leaders about the fuel crisis. They should discuss making public transport free for as long as the crisis goes on. And as the Federal government is backing the war, they should pick up the tab.

The Greens-led Senate inquiry into the Capital Gains Tax discount has handed down its report, and even Labor Senators have backed findings that it’s skewing housing towards investors, widening inequality, and distorting the economy.

Labor has just further committed Australia to an illegal US-led war, based on a lie. Labor is being cheered on by the Coalition and One Nation, the other war parties, as it follows the United States into yet another disastrous conflict with no exit strategy.

Nick McKim @nickmckim.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
The Greens will back Labor’s super tax changes. But let’s be honest about it. It barely scratches the surface of the wealth inequality crisis. You should not be paying a higher tax rate on your wages than the richest super accounts. Yet that’s exactly what our system allows.

This is Teal Brain in action. Yesterday Allegra Spender moved this amendment, which would have allowed people with millions of dollars in superannuation to avoid tax. The Teals spend a lot of time looking after the 1%. Gotta look after your political donors I guess.

Watching the ABC investigation into gay hate crimes last night was horrific. Teens hunted, lured and bashed on film in homophobic attacks in Sydney - this is unforgivable, and it signals real, present danger for queer people in Australia.

The ACCC’s action against Coles confirms what people already know -  when corporations have too much power, they use it to squeeze people. Fake discounts are one symptom of a system where dominant firms can do as they like while people struggle with cost-of-living pressures.

Two months after ANZ was fined $250m for serious misconduct - rigging a bond deal, misleading markets and charging dead customers - the bank has posted a first quarter profit of $1.94 billion. A culture of profiteering and lawlessness is being rewarded with record returns.

Australians are bracing for another interest rate rise because Labor has turbo-charged the housing crisis and refused to tackle corporate price gouging.

Pressure is growing on Labor to act, with NSW Treasury now joining a long list of experts calling out the capital gains tax discount as unfair and damaging.

Tasmania once criminalised people for being gay or for cross-dressing. Yesterday Tasmania's Parliament finally passed laws to erase those convictions and offer redress for the harm caused. This is justice decades overdue.

The Greens have secured a Senate inquiry into the capital gains tax (CGT) discount. We will use this to expose one of the most regressive tax breaks in Australia, where 50% of the benefit goes to the top 1% wealthiest Australians.
