People are dying waiting for care, because Labor won’t release more home care packages. The Greens say that’s not good enough and we need Labor to do better now.

During the treasurer's budget speech tonight, Australia’s billionaires got $560,000 richer. While they're accumulating wealth for doing literally nothing, you’re working harder and harder and falling further behind. Nothing in this budget changes that. It's time to tax the 1%.
After all the PM's spin about understanding poverty, Labor's budget does nothing to lift people out of it. No increase to JobSeeker, Youth Allowance, DSP or pension. This is a classic Labor move: feign concern about people's struggles then ignore them when it actually matters.
Our social services system degrades people and grinds them down, and keeps everyone who has a job scared and compliant. It needs to be rebuilt. But by implementing the Robodebt Royal Commission recs we can at least limit the system's harms. That's what the Greens' bill would do.
Older Australians are dying waiting for care. Labor and the Liberals are selling the care of our parents and grandparents off for private profits and releasing less care than people need each year. In a wealthy country like ours, there’s no excuse for a crisis of aged care.
Yesterday, the war parties teamed up to shut the door on Iranians trying to flee a war they endorse and support. We know that there are Labor MPs who oppose this war and Australia's involvement. It's time they spoke up. Silence is complicity.
Every Australian can see what's happening in Iran on their screens. Schoolgirls ripped to shreds. Hospitals flattened. Rivers of fire. Acid rain. THIS is what Labor has committed Australia to. An historically immoral and illegal crime with apocalyptic consequences.
Despite the govt trying to hide it we now know that 200,000 older people are waiting for home care. The money is budgeted, providers are ready - there's no reason why Labor can't release more care packages TODAY. If they won't choose to do it, the Senate will force their hand.
Labor says they're worried about the safety of Australians in the Middle East. They claim to be concerned about civilian deaths and the chaos that's unfolding. Well, maybe they should have thought about that before they were first out the gate to endorse Trump's illegal war.
Teaching conditions are learning conditions. When teachers thrive in their workplace, so do our kids. That’s why we should all get behind Queensland teachers today and join their calls for fairer pay and better working conditions. Solidarity. 💚✊️
If you're as angry about Labor's budget for billionaires as I am then why not come work with me! We're looking for two Brisbane-based media and policy advisors to join our team and help us take on the political and corporate establishment. Details in the replies 👇 Applications close on Monday!

We attack military targets in Russia, or their energy, which they sell to fund war. Russians deliberately target civilian objects: museums, schools, apartments. They destroyed this Chornobyl museum that we built for 40th anniversary just one month ago. Crazy assholes -Zelensky🇺🇦

When it comes to Cuba, my constituents aren't asking for an incursion into yet another country. What I hear them saying is that they are worried about the high price of gas, of groceries, of housing and of child care. They want action to lower costs. Not another forever war.
