    . just asked the Government why it was continuing to log our native forests, to which they mockingly suggested we hadn't read their forestry plan. The problem is we have, and know they aren't planning to end native forest logging until 2030(!).

    Gas is polluting, expensive and bad for our health. That's why today the Greens are introducing a bill that would stop new homes being forced to connect to gas & ban new gas connections from 2025.

    Important thread from Leader of the Victorian Greens 🏳️‍⚧️

    So many Greens supporters have joined our movement over the years because of our unwavering commitment to equality, including for trans and gender diverse people. Right now, those supporters are understandably very distressed & disappointed by what is happening in the party. 1/7

    Earlier this year the Greens secured a parliamentary inquiry into far-right extremism in Victoria. We wanted to investigate the rise of these movements & how to counter them for the safety of Victorians, especially multicultural communities. The hearings begin today.

    It's getting cold in here (so cold), so raise your minimum rental standards 🎶

    Too many renters are being left out in the cold. That's why today in Parliament I introduced a motion calling on the Victorian Government to implement better standards for renters.

    This is well deserved. Good move by govt. hits our hospital and ambulance staff by both increasing their workload AND sending them home sick. Now for another bonus: let's hear the Vic government start talking about reducing virus transmission in the community.

    The Victorian government will offer payments of $3,000 to all staff working in public hospitals and ambulance services in recognition of the challenging circumstances they’ve faced. Statement from the premier:

    🧵 Important thread from Vic Parliament today from

    I just asked what more will the government do to reduce community COVID transmission? He provided no ideas or initiatives to cut viral transmission. He said Victorians know about masks and HEPA filters are widespread. Does he feel we can just stop now?

    Sure are! Covid and flu numbers are too high - we need a voluntary mask-wearing campaign to make sure we're continuing to protect ourselves this winter.

    The Victorian Greens are calling on the state government to run an advertising campaign on mask wearing in crowded public places. They also want more hepa filters in restaurants to stop the spread of covid and to help ease the pressure on hospitals.

    The Victorian governments public sector wage cap is just - 1.5% At a time of low wage growth, rising cost-of-living, and burn out from frontline public sector workers, Labor's severe wage cap is unconscionable.

    BREAKING: Dominic Perrottet announces wage cap will increase from 2.5% to 3% this year and 3%-3.5% with productivity savings the year after. $3000 cash payment is being made to every healthcare worker in NSW as a thank you for their work during Covid.

    Years of ‘tough on crime’ politics have a lot to answer for, and political courage is desperately needed. A brave government wouldn't let children languish in prisons, and would urgently .

    Disappointing to hear the Government is shelving these bills because it wants to avoid controversy before the election. What's controversial is delaying reforms that would help provide better lives for young people & keep kids free from prison.

    The Greens want to raise the age of criminal responsibility in Victoria from 10 to 14 years because children so young shouldn’t see the inside of a courtroom let alone a prison cell. Sadly the Vic Labor government is holding up a bill containing valuable reforms. 1/3

    Meriam man Eddie Koiki Mabo founded the Townsville Aboriginal Legal Service, demanded service at venues First Nations people were banned from and made the High Court admit that terra nullius was a lie. That this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
