Friday 1pm at University of Sydney come and show solidarity with the student occupation for Palestine Together let’s end Australia’s and USYD’s complicity in this genocide
Women are sick of being afraid. It's time for men to take responsibility for violence against women.
At the Tamil Multicultural ANZAC Commemoration Event in Wentworthville this morning. Lest we forget the horrors of war, both now and in the past.
A simplistic knee-jerk law and order response is a distraction from the complex and comprehensive whole-of-society work that needs to be done to address the gendered violence epidemic and keep women in our State safe. And thats going to actually cost some money.
This morning I was on ABC RN talking about the protest at Sydney University calling for an end to the two-way arms trade with Israel, as well as the Albanese Labor Government's and university's involvement in the genocide.
This is of course in addition to the long standing need for a Royal Commission into the mainstream media and the censorship of political opinion and truth particularly around the genocide in Gaza - the Greens have been working on this for many years.
We need responsible content moderation, but we also need to get serious about what it means to have public commons like Twitter directed to financial reward and engagement at all costs. These aren’t just websites any more and regulation needs to reflect that from the ground up.
The thing is, people deserve to be safe online and in real life and none of the current proposals will achieve that. A parliament overly full of angry Facebook uncles isn’t going to come up with a sensible regulatory regime but neither are a bunch of billionaires.
At the National Press Club today the heads of ASIO and the AFP are saying law enforcement needs more powers to crack social media (no mention of the AFP’s own role in online radicalisation of a 13 year old Autistic boy & the gross mistrust they have created with communities)..
We don’t have to accept the ring wing brigade arguing that the right to share and view violent videos is somehow foundational for free speech, nor the argument that the only thing we can do is have the eSafety Commissioner take this on one post at a time.
It’s very clear that no federal government agency is yet up to the task of properly dealing with the need for regulation online. The Prime Minister is out trash talking Elon Musk but won’t actually take on regulating the monopolistic billionaire controlled social media landscape.
Anything less than scrapping indexation in the May budget is unacceptable. All student debt should be wiped and uni & TAFE should be free. At the very least, Labor should stop student debt from spiralling out of control by scrapping indexation right now.
It's obscene that Labor is making billions off students while handing big subsidies to the climate wrecking fossil fuel industry. The Greens will continue to fight for students, advocate for their needs & call on the govt to make meaningful and substantial changes, urgently.
Student debt is hitting young people, women, & renters the hardest, the same people being slammed by the cost of living & housing crisis. Student debt is already locking people out of the housing market, crushing dreams of further study & stopping people from starting a family.
Under the Albanese Labor govt, rent has soared by 20% & student debt increased by a whopping 16.6%. Labor isn't giving young people a chance, at all. Labor is responsible for the steepest increase in student debts in history & they're simply refusing to listen to young people.
For someone with an average #HECS debt of $26,494, they’ll be hit with a debt hike of $1,272 in 2024. For someone with a student debt of $70,000, they will see an increase of $3,360. A system that traps people into a lifetime of student debt is a broken system and needs to go.
BREAKING! Today's CPI figures confirm student debts will go up an alarming 4.8% in June. Labor’s escalating #studentdebt crisis isn't just an abrogation of responsibility, but a gross injustice, robbing people of their futures and deterring people from pursuing higher ed.
The story of Pesach is one of resilience, faith, and strength in the face of adversity. To all who celebrate, Chag Pesach Sameach.
Uni & TAFE should be free & all student debt wiped. Let’s start by abolishing indexation & providing some relief to people being weighed down by an ever ballooning debt. Join me in demanding Labor take action to end the student debt crisis: greens.org.au/campaigns/stud…

We need responsible content moderation, but we also need to get serious about what it means to have public commons like Twitter directed to financial reward and engagement at all costs. These aren’t just websites any more and regulation needs to reflect that from the ground up.
The thing is, people deserve to be safe online and in real life and none of the current proposals will achieve that. A parliament overly full of angry Facebook uncles isn’t going to come up with a sensible regulatory regime but neither are a bunch of billionaires.
At the National Press Club today the heads of ASIO and the AFP are saying law enforcement needs more powers to crack social media (no mention of the AFP’s own role in online radicalisation of a 13 year old Autistic boy & the gross mistrust they have created with communities)..
We don’t have to accept the ring wing brigade arguing that the right to share and view violent videos is somehow foundational for free speech, nor the argument that the only thing we can do is have the eSafety Commissioner take this on one post at a time.
It’s very clear that no federal government agency is yet up to the task of properly dealing with the need for regulation online. The Prime Minister is out trash talking Elon Musk but won’t actually take on regulating the monopolistic billionaire controlled social media landscape.
Anything less than scrapping indexation in the May budget is unacceptable. All student debt should be wiped and uni & TAFE should be free. At the very least, Labor should stop student debt from spiralling out of control by scrapping indexation right now.
It's obscene that Labor is making billions off students while handing big subsidies to the climate wrecking fossil fuel industry. The Greens will continue to fight for students, advocate for their needs & call on the govt to make meaningful and substantial changes, urgently.

Labor refused demands from the Greens to protect students from huge debt increases last year, but there's still time to stop the massive indexation hit coming again this June. No more tinkering around the edges. In the May budget, Labor must scrap indexation on student debt.
