When big money has a seat at the table, ordinary Victorians get left behind. It's why big corporations rip you off and make huge profits, while you struggle to afford the basics. Labor, Liberals and One Nation - they all take donations from billionaires and big corporations.

Nothing will change if we keep swapping out one corporate-owned party for another. Labor, Liberals and One Nation all take donations from billionaires and big corporations. That's who they're working for. But the Greens are 100% funded by the community - we're fighting for YOU!

For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?

Some of y'all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don't exist because governments enjoy them,They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

"Shoalhaven Council did not provide details about how exactly a list of 18500 names of Palestinian children, including babies killed by IDF was a risk to the community. "So I went along to see for myself—" — Antoinette Lattouf #auspol #WallOfTears #BerryUnitingChurch

Look at this piece of absolute garbage from Murdoch's @theheraldsun. The link in the comments goes to a piece about Andrews discretely selling hus Mulgeave house fir $1.75m. That's the "secret $2m handshake" apparently. #thisisnotjournalism #auspol realestate.com.au/news/forme…

Misogynistic attitudes of men like you is why so few women report their rapes. Rape is not “women changing their mind”, it’s men committing a crime. Slutty is a male invention. You’re more likely as a man to die in a house fire or by lighting than be “falsely accused” You’re a🚩
Replying to @Kon__K
90% of rapes never get reported because they are not rapes at all but rather she “changed her mind” later because she felt slutty about it. Then later still promoted the expanded universe definition of rape which encompasses virtually all sexual behaviour a man might engage in.

If you ever needed the data to show what happens when vaccine disinformation spreads and trust in science is undermined - here it is.

America wants our resources. It wants to put more military bases here. Basically, it's strong-arming our government to allow Australia to become nothing more than one big mining and military base to feed the US war machine, incentivised by the huge profits of the arms industry.

"In Australia, we subsidise the fossil fuel industry. We give more than half of the gas we export away for free, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni." Join the call for a national plebiscite on a 25% tax on gas exports: gas-plebiscite.australiainst…

Exactly same in Australia. Labor, Libs, Nats, One Nation all take donations from same big corporates- pharma, weapons, fossil fuels, gambling- they don’t even try to cut the cord. They do as they are instructed by their donors. #auspol
El-Sayed: "People don't trust our party because too often we're funded by the very same people who fund Republicans... Can we actually cut the cord that we've had to corporate money and start governing like we give a damn about working people?"

Tasmania, it's time to revolt. "Tungsten shrapnel" is what the US military want by mining Tarkayna.
"The US military has its sights on this beautiful Tasmanian wilderness in the Tarkayna, why? Because under the ground is tungsten, a metal used to fuel the US war machine." — David Shoebridge

I want a country that fosters peace with China, not one leading us toward a devastating war. Imagine the alternative. Vote AUKUS out. Vote Peace.
It's official - the worst deal ever. AUKUS makes us a target for Chinese ICBMs, and we're paying record prices for it #aukuspublicinquiry #auspol youtu.be/YEhqaE3vpdY?si=jGXZ…
