LABOR TURN THEIR BACK ON COMMUNITIES, GREENLIGHT GAS EXTRACTION NEAR THE 12 APOSTLES
2024-06-06 The Victorian Greens have slammed Labor’s decision to charge full steam ahead and extract climate-destroying gas near the 12 Apostles, despite years of public outcry from communities. In the state’s first new gas extraction project since 2014, the Allan Labor Government has given Beach Energy final approval to extract gas offshore in the Otway […]

Hume for Palestine pickets HTA
The community continues to organise and fight against Labor’s approval of military exports to the Israel war machine. And the Greens are fighting with them. We should not be fuelling war crimes. The F-35 bomber aircraft is being used to indiscriminately bomb large swathes of Gaza. It is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands […]

AN ANTI-RACIST VICTORIA
From Black Lives Matter to Invasion Day rallies to the continuing fight to #FreetheRefugees, there is a growing movement in Victoria and around the country demanding justice and equality for First Nations people and people of colour. Disturbingly, toxic racism, white supremacy and far-right nationalism are also on the rise. In Victoria, Nazis are organising […]
RENT FREEZE NOW
Labor’s rental crisis is breaking people. Their policies are making the rental crisis worse. Under Labor, rents can go up by any amount – and if you can’t afford it, you get kicked out. Renters are already struggling, and many are just one more rent increase away from being homeless. There is no reason why […]
LIVEABLE COMMUNITIES
We all want to enjoy neighbourhoods that are easy to move around in, have great public transport, and have plenty of safe, green public spaces to exercise, meet with friends, and relish nature.
