I’ll be sure to let the voters of Higgins & Kooyong know.

I met a 17 yo young woman today who said she can’t think about her future more than 1yr ahead, because when she thinks about what the climate emergency will do to her in 5 or 10yrs, it all gets too much. It’s time to end the anxiety. It’s time to fight for a Green New Deal.

A Green New Deal means government leading the country in transforming our economy, creating new jobs and industries powered by clean energy and delivering universal services like dental into Medicare and genuinely free education. This is what I will be fighting for.

We are in the middle of a climate emergency and long running jobs and inequality crises. People are angry and anxious because the government has no plan for the big problems facing the country. This is why Australia needs a Green New Deal.

PM should release Gaetjens report. Failure to do so shows consistent lack of transparency. If the pork barrelling didn’t even breach the Ministerial Standards they are so weak they’re useless. We need an ICAC with teeth NOW. Govt’s ICAC bill is 16 months overdue and toothless.

Morrison is dangerously wrong on gas. What Australia needs is greater support for renewables and storage, not more fracking of farmland.

Morrison is dangerously wrong on gas, and needs to wake up to new technologies

Morrison’s claim that gas is a key transition fuel for Australia’s switch to renewables is wrong and hopelessly out of date. He needs to catch up to Tesla.
