I’m excited to step up as Deputy Leader of the @Greens alongside @DavidShoebridge. My generation has grown up seeing politicians sell out our future for corporate greed: delaying climate action while housing, childcare, and living costs get harder to afford. It has to change.

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.

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.

There's something deeply fucked about measuring the economy by how much stuff we produce and consume, but barely measuring whether people have enough time to cook dinner, know their neighbours, raise their kids, care for their parents or actually enjoy being alive.

Australia's defence spending is outpacing inflation - a 38% increase over the past five years compared to inflation at 24%. But when it comes to social services - like free childcare - the government's response is the same: the need to be "fiscally responsible". www.deepcutnews.com/p/albanese-c...

Albanese can find $425bn for defence – but not $126bn for free childcare
Defence spending is outpacing inflation as the government says it can’t afford universal childcare, dental or lifting JobSeeker above the poverty line.

Trump's endorsement is becoming more like a kiss of death. When Nixon's approval rating fell, Republican leaders went to him and told him that if he didn't resign, they would impeach him. He resigned. Trump's approval rating is even lower than Nixon's was at that point.
