Newcastle Resident now living on one of many residential streets that are now part of a V8 racetrack! Outraged & fighting for our rights to safety & justice.
Mining companies like @RioTinto@bhp@FM_FCX@AdaniOnline@HProspecting poison indigenous land, rob indigenous people of their own resources, fuel genocides in neighbouring countries etc.
The people running these corporations should be held responsible

Perhaps the media hasn’t picked up this big story yet:
1. Government illegally acquired $721 million
2. Spent $600 million acquiring this money
3. Now has to refund this money
4. 2,000 people suicided
5. They were warned not to do it.
Maybe the media slept in this morning?#auspol
The killing of George Floyd is horrific. I stand in solidarity with those protesting against police violence. I’m also thinking of all the Aboriginal men, women and children killed in Australia after coming into contact with police and prisons.
The NSW government has written to the NSW Remuneration Tribunal to grant special pay rises for senior government executives no less than 6 times in the last 6 months.
Call on the EPA to prosecute Delta Energy and force them to adopt worlds best practice pollution controls at Vales Point Power Station! #AirPollution#CleanAirNow https://t.co/HgOLfwApTT
We’re in Parl to improve gov’s coronavirus legislation, which leaves so many people behind.
But Labor just said it won’t support any amendments it doesn’t get to move itself, voting w gov to keep package intact.
Greens will try & fix gov bills. Labor shd work with us, not Libs.
Today I will be seeking the support of the senate to
extend the $550 stimulus supplement to Carers and people on #DSP, to extend the Jobseeker Payment to people on temporary visas and ensure that part-time workers can’t be exploited.
#COVID19#wagesubsidyforall
Govt stimulus packages are leaving people behind, ppl on DSP, carers, many casual workers, ppl on visas, renters - that is why we will be moving amendments to Jobkeeper legislation #COVID19au#DSP
It’s #WorldHealthDay!
let's acknowledge the critical role that nurses and midwives play in keeping the world healthy. Nurses and midwives are the backbone of any health system and the key to the achievement of universal health coverage.

As a former White House reporter, I don’t say this lightly: Media should ignore the Trump follies, abandon the WH briefing room, and interview governors, doctors, nurses, victims and anybody else approaching the truth.
Stop being props.
Just stop.
House ministers can refuse to appear before Senate committees
So with Parl not sitting, this Lib/Lab deal lets PM, Treasurer, IR & Health Ministers avoid any accountability to other MPs until August.
In this crisis, we need more democracy, not less.
