The Greens are a party of peace & non-violence. We stand with people in Australia & around the world calling for an end to this genocide. Permanent ceasefire. And end to occupied Palestine. Unconditional aid access. Prosecution of war crimes. An end to the two-way arms trade.

Chants of 'Don't protect the women, we can fight. We don't need your fascist shite' rang out in Glasgow tonight. As anti-fascists, women's rights groups and trade unionists protested against 'patriot platform' and their supporters pushing their racist agenda in the city. Things you love to see ✊

Walmart is the largest private employer in America, yet 16,055 of its employees were on Medicaid in just 6 states, and 15,515 were receiving food stamps in 9 states. Mostly red states. And those aren’t even national totals. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

"Money's greatest luxury is agency. It allows a person to leave, repair, replace, refuse, seek another opinion and respond to their own life." – Rebecca reflects on Anti-Poverty Week for @powertopersuade.bsky.social FULL ARTICLE: www.powertopersuade.org.au/blog/anthony...

I do not want government to give me a beautiful life. Parts of my life are already beautiful. I want enough money to participate in the life I already have.

More than anything, I want the return of choice. Most people exercise it dozens of times a day without noticing. When it disappears, you notice its absence everywhere. You make do. You wait. You wear it again. You stay where you are. You receive what is offered and say thank you because you are thankful. But gratitude is not agency, and survival is not living.

I am not asking Anthony Albanese to remember poverty sentimentally. I am asking him to remember it politically. Look at the people living on the payments and in the housing that once made his future possible. Look at our shoes. Look at our teeth. Look at the food we eat when nobody is watching.

Good government changed Anthony Albanese's life. I believe him. The question is whether people like us are still considered worth enough good government to change ours.

Raise the rate “It’s gatekeeping, and it’s killing people. Poverty is always a political choice.” #Auspol

Senator Penny Allman-Payne: This bill is more proof that Australia's social security system is too complex and often inaccessible. Services Australia can't seem to grasp social security law-and they're the
ones administering it. Every day, people who are sick, working, parenting, elderly, disabled or just trying to live
their lives are punished for making minor mistakes. This government has made the deliberate choice to keep all social security payments
below the poverty line. It's Anti-Poverty Week. The fact that we even have to have an anti-poverty week should be a source of shame. It's the start of Anti-Poverty Week, and instead of ending government induced poverty the Minister for Social Services has announced meagre funding for emergency relief charities that amounts to less than $1 per welfare recipient, while people
in this country are dying from poverty. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's latest report on mortality outcomes showed that people accessing the JobSeeker payment are up to 10 times more likely to die than people not on any income support. Almost three in five people aged 22 to 64 who
passed away between 2012 and 2022 were accessing income support. Social security is supposed to help people. It's in the name-'security. But governments, including this one, continue to impose strict conditions policing the ways people can get
support and what people must do to get that support.
It's gatekeeping, and it's killing people. Poverty is always a political choice.

Boorloo Perth turned out for the Global Day for Gaza too today. Those who wonder what they would have done to stop the Nazi genocide in Europe have a clear view… it’s similar to whatever you are doing right now.

A large crowd of people holding signs, photos, flags, and wearing keffiyeh stand listening to speeches condemning Israel’s brutal genocide in Gaza.

A man holds a sign that shows a Palestinian woman holding the Palestinian flag. The sign reads:
TELL LABOUR GENOCIDE IS A RED LINE

A large crowd of people holding signs, photos, flags, and wearing keffiyeh stand listening to speeches condemning Israel’s brutal genocide in Gaza.

A man stands holding his sign that reads:

PROUD
ACHIEVEMENTS
50,000 * MURDERS
CHILDREN
INCLUDED STARVING TO DEATH TWO
MILLION CIVILIANS

NAZIS
WERE
PROUD
TOO
UNTIL NUREMBERG

Another sign reads:

NO PEACE ON STOLEN LAND
JUSTICE
OUR DEMAND!

People in the crowd: one way is a T-shirt reading sanction Israel now.
To hold photographs of children murdered in Gaza
