Australia’s Environment Minister says her government was “blindsided” by the UN declaring the Great Barrier Reef “in danger”.
Arh, no. You weren't ‘blindsided’ you had your eyes closed, you ignored the science and kept taking donations from the fossil fuel industry.

This year Barnaby's got a 105% pay rise, Gina got a 123% increase in her wealth while everyone else's real wages are going backwards and jobseekers live in poverty.

The mining billionaires keep winning and you keep losing.

Tax billionaires now.

If you thought the Morrison government had a “women problem” before. They certainly do now.

[Larissa Waters @larissawaters]

With Barnaby back, that’s 2 men in Cabinet with unresolved sexual misconduct claims against them. If you ever wondered how srsly Gov takes the parly culture review, the man whose behaviour led to the bonk ban is now Dep PM. The Coalition’s problem with women just got worse#auspol

Coal-hugger beats climate denier and is now Acting Prime Minister.

Turf the whole lot of them out.

[Rachel Siewert @RachelMSiewert]

The Government is going to try and rush this cruel Bill through the Senate this week with no scrutiny.

Ask your MP to vote against it: https://t.co/2yimZahWG9

A regional teacher, unionist and activist, Penny Allman-Payne is proof that Queensland can do better than One Nation’s toxic and divisive politics.

Queensland voters have a clear choice at the next election: One Nation or the Greens. By electing Penny, you can kick out Pauline.

Took @DanielBleakley tesla for a spin yesterday. Wow. I’m hooked.

It's been a bad month for coal. The Callide coal-fired power station blew up. Yallourn has flooded.

It's clear that we need a massive expansion of renewables.

Coal just isn't reliable enough to power our future.

[Larissa Waters @larissawaters]

The government and One Nation have AGAIN conspired to block the Greens’ Bill to establish a Commission of Inquiry into Christian Porter’s fitness as a minister. 1/8 #auspol

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

The real treachery is loving coal more than your country.

[Max Chandler-Mather @MChandlerMather]

Weird that Labor's resource spokesperson declared their full support for expanding the gas industry at the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association's conference after receiving over $100k in donations from that same group.

No connection here!

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

“Labor’s resources spokeswoman ... is launching a full-throated defence of Australia’s gas industry, including supporting opening up new reserves”

Labor is now backing Libs on opening up new gas fields, like Betaloo, which will be worse than Adani.

The High Court has rejected David Leyonhjelm’s application to appeal against my successful defamation judgment against him.
After 3 difficult years this is finally over. Mr Leyonhjelm tried to avoid accountability for his behaviour at every turn. Today the Court decided ‘Enough!’

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

The world's energy chiefs & scientists say no new coal, oil or gas.

But today, Labor joins the Libs in backing new gas projects like the Betaloo Basin, which is worse than Adani.

The Greens are taking on this climate-denying gov. We just wish Labor would stop voting with Libs.

[Rachel Siewert @RachelMSiewert]

Over the past two decades, Liberal and Labor Governments have introduced measures that have made it harder for disabled people to receive the Disability Support Pension.

Here's how 👇👇👇

A 2.5% minimum wage rise is a good start, but leaves a quarter of workers paid below the poverty line.

Billionaires' wealth soared by 30% during COVID.

Workers deserve more than 2.5% - and under the Greens' plan, we'd lift it to 60% of median wage.

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

The Liberals are running a protection racket for their mates.

Blocking a bill like this is practically unprecedented.

Our nation has been shocked by what we know already - what else are the Liberals trying to hide?

[Larissa Waters @larissawaters]

BREAKING: Govt is BLOCKING me introducing a bill for a Inquiry into whether Mr Porter is fit to remain in Cabinet given the unresolved rape allegations. Blocking a bill is very very rare. This is a protection racket for the boys club from a Govt allergic to transparency! #auspol

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

Watch out, billionaires!

Parliament is only *one* vote away from making JobKeeper profiteers like Gerry Harvey pay back their public handouts.

After the Senate backed the Greens push, we just had a tied vote in the House too.

We’ll keep pushing!
