A Royal Commission into immigration detention has been justified many times over. These allegations just make the case overwhelming. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Unbelievable.

Australia’s regime of offshore detention was always cruel and inhumane, and this scandal is just more evidence of why a full blown royal commission into immigration detention is needed.

Today is the last public hearing into consent laws. I'll be sharing evidence from witnesses again throughout the day. If you or any one you know needs support, please reach out to 1800 RESPECT, or your local crisis helpline.

Woodside is a corporate villain, pure and simple. They are destroying the planet, reaping billions in profits, they have the Labor and Liberal parties wrapped around their fingers and now they are trying to bankrupt two women who dared challenge their dangerous expansion plans.

The Australian government created a brutal detention system designed to inflict grievous harm on innocent people including children, and relied on corruption to enable it. If that does not warrant a Royal Commission then not much does.

Around the world right now the climate crisis is visible like never before - it's deeply distressing and comes at enormous human and environmental cost. It's getting worse.

The ACT Labor conference just passed a motion calling on Federal Labor to adopt the Greens negotiating ask to spend at least $2.5bn a year on social and affordable housing every year.

We tried to raise #JobSeeker to $88 a day. But Labor, the Liberals, One Nation, Babet & Lambie all voted to keep people in poverty. There’s always enough for nuclear submarines, coal & gas, and the billionaires, but never for those who really need our help.

This morning I joined students from The STOP Campaign and members of the crossbench to launch the #IDeserveSafety campaign, highlighting university failures on sexual violence.

Greens introduced an amendment to raise the amount people can earn while on Centrelink, expanding the income free area from $150 to $300 a fortnight. Both Labor & Liberals voted it down, even though it would help thousands of Australians & a measure the Libs supposedly supported.

Breaking: ABC local TV news bulletins saved!! Local bulletins are vital for keeping our communities informed which is why the Greens fought so hard in the parliament and the public to have these proposed cuts stopped.

The PM is throwing money parties for military contractors and the mega rich and continuing to subsidize property speculators and slumlords but apparently it's the Greens who treat money like it's Monopoly.

Wage theft on this scale is incredible. Low paid workers suffer in one of our most profitable firms in one our most concentrated industries. Serious consequences must flow. theage.com.au/business/workp…

AAD staff are languishing in uncertainty. The Govt must address fears about what science programs will be axed as a result of a $25 million cut to the division. Science is the currency of the Antarctic Treaty & if Aus wants a leadership role in the region it must fund science.

Labor has reintroduced the same Housing Australia Future Fund as they did in Feb. A plan that doesn’t guarantee a cent in housing funding, gambles $10bn on the stock market, does nothing for renters & will see the housing crisis get worse, just for a double dissolution trigger.

when your card declines at therapy because labor refuse to cover all mental healthcare under medicare

The Greens have fought for and won the Right to Disconnect. Will the sky fall in? Mat Morgan explains this win for workers with his reluctant boss

Eid Mubarak! Happy Eid Al-Adha to all who celebrate. This Eid we're thinking of everyone suffering from the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We will not stop pushing for an end to this invasion.
