Thrilled that @ellensandell has been elected leader of the Victorian Greens. At a time when so many are bearing the brunt of the housing crisis and the climate is at breaking point, Labor and the Liberals are letting people down. Ellen and the Greens are ready to take them on.
Honoured to be elected as the new leader of the Victorian Greens, following the incredible work of @SamanthaRatnam - who is going to be the next Federal Member for Wills! As leader, I’ll be working every day with our Greens MPs team to fight for you. Change is possible.
This is a devastating truth that the Victorian Labor Government can't ignore. The number of Victorians on the waitlist does not decline by knocking down public housing towers and privatising that land. When will Labor take these numbers seriously? via @GuardianAus 👇🏽
Over the next few weeks @yoorrookjc is holding more public hearings. Already we've heard from First Nations people deprived of their land and ability to care for Country, and the trauma this has caused. We must listen to this important truth-telling 👇🏽 yoorrookjusticecommission.org.au
People right across the world acted collectively yesterday to disrupt the Israeli war machine and fight for a liberated Palestine. We have a right to peaceful protest and will exercise that right until Victorian Labor takes action against this genocide.
Justice. To all victim-survivors – we hear you, we see you, we believe you.

Congratulations Sam. I am very confident you will take the seat of #Wills that Labor has taken for granted for too long.
I’m honoured to be the Greens candidate for Wills 💚 Wills is one of the most important seats in the country, all eyes will be on our community at the next federal election. This is our chance to lead the nation. If just 1 in 10 people change their vote here then we can win.🧵
I can't wait to have a MP who cares about housing rights, Palestinian justice and trans justice!! Let's goooo Sam!! 💖

Victoria: the place to be (homeless) Labor's solution? - Demolish public housing then hand that land to private developers - Make renting unaffordable with unlimited rent rises (15.2% average increase in 2023) - Let property investors hoard homes on Airbnb
We’ve both a crisis in male violence against women & a mental health crisis, they co - exist. Decades of failure by successive governments to systemically tackle epidemic of male violence against women & decades of failing to properly invest in our mental health system, its roots
🔨 Nailed it.
The first question for Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci...
According to Haaretz, Israeli forces used an Elbit Systems drone when they killed Zomi Frankcom, three other aid workers and a Palestinian driver this week. Victorian Labor must finally rip up its contract with Elbit and demand an immediate ceasefire! #FreePalestine
Last week I called on Premier Jacinta Allan to cut Victoria's ties with Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems. Elbit is a company that advertises “battle-tested” weapons – meaning they’re used to kill Palestinian men, women and children, then sold around the world for profit.
Apparently the Australian Border Force is on high alert for any unauthorised arrivals tomorrow

"We have to keep turning up for peace" – @SamanthaRatnam speaking at the Flinders St Station snap protest for Palestine
"We have the right to protest... "We have to keep turning up until there is peace" – @SamanthaRatnam speaking now for Palestine, as Victoria Police start to ramp up presence (despite organisers apparently agreeing with them to a 2 hour protest)
I sat in the house of reps this week as Labor rammed through a bill that could see a mother sentenced to 5 years in prison for refusing to help deport her own children. Meanwhile still nothing meaningful for the housing crisis. That's the modern Labor Party.
Big fortnight for a better future.
It's 5AM and the Upper House has sat all night. There are still a couple of hours of debate left on amendments to the Govt's Conversion Therapy Ban Bill. It's been a long night but the bill will pass. Unamended. Though I may want sleep first. Then celebration.
@SamanthaRatnam @VicParliament @VictorianGreens You were amazingly chilled/relaxed today. All of us watching upstairs, were almost falling about out of our seats, stressing about the outcome!
I bought a shirt today, just to go and listen to @SamanthaRatnam talk about #housing at @VicParliament. (She was brilliant btw!) The red, upper house was so much more well-behaved than the lower house, which reminded me of a primary schoolyard. #greens @VictorianGreens
The Victorian Government linking raising the age of criminal responsiblity to 12 with the use of ankle bracelets on children is utterly disgraceful - you can't have it both ways, it's either ok to brutalise kids or not.
Brad Homewood & Violet Coco are courageous people who have contributed so much to their communities & to trying to avert the worst impacts of climate change. They have just had their sentences almost tripled for protesting on the West Gate Bridge & will spend 2 months in prison.
Thank you Brad and Violet for being brave and trying to do everything in your power to raise the alarm and avert climate collapse. Stay strong, and we won’t give up the fight for climate action. theage.com.au/national/victo…
