Sadly from a government that doesn't care about nature or sound decision making - it's business as usual in Victorian Labor Inc.

[Matthew Kirwan @matthewtkirwan]

Whether it is construction or logging, yet again Labor has showed that loyalty to mates is more important than commitment to integrity.

Given that the loss making Heyfield mill is 49% owned by the Victoria government, the government are sneakily propping up an uneconomic mill with taxpayer money and Tasmanian native trees It's a native forest ban that isn't a native forest ban.

Thanks Conor, Corrine and Roshan for joining me today to campaign in Oakleigh South. We had a number of passionate conversations - could to see people take an interest in public affairs!

"Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations" is the foundational philosophical concept of the Vulcan civilization in Star Trek. It teaches that the vast array of variables in the universe—and the union of unlike things—creates ultimate beauty, growth, and progress.

Happy Pride Month. And Happy 60th anniversary Star Trek. Woke since 1966!

Yet Victorian Allied Health Professionals continue to be undervalued for the work they perform and are paid less than most of their interstate counterparts and Victorian healthcare sector colleagues, while workloads, vacancies, and burnout continue to grow.

[Matthew Kirwan @matthewtkirwan]

I support the call from the Victorian Allied Health Professionals Association - VAHPA on the Victorian Government to properly invest in Allied Health and fix the growing workforce crisis affecting our public health system. @VAHPA1

[Matthew Kirwan @matthewtkirwan]

Allied Health Professionals are critical to patient care, preventative healthcare, rehabilitation, diagnosis, disability support, and recovery across Victoria.

It was a wet and windy morning but that didn't stop shoppers and nor did it stop Greens volunteers like Catherine, Seth and Hayley joining me to talk to people about what issues concerned them at Parkhill Plaza in Berwick.

“The genocide is not an historical event, it’s continuing, but the federal government haven’t acted to recognise the genocide, and they should urgently do that.”

EXTRACT FROM ARTICLE: The Australian Greens endorsed candidate for the upcoming State elections in November, Matthew Kirwan also attended the protest where he called on the Australian Government to recognise the Hazara genocide through the United Nations and through the G20.

[Matthew Kirwan @matthewtkirwan]

“The federal MPs know all about the Hazara genocide and have privately admitted that it’s a real issue and that women continue to be oppressed, denied education and are still being killed.

To create a sustainable and affordable Melbourne, suburban regions like the south-east need viable public transport services.

[Matthew Kirwan @matthewtkirwan]

In Melbourne's south-east only the suburb of Dandenong has a majority of households within 800m of a high quality metro public transport service. That's not my conclusion - this is from the Victorian Auditor-General's Office!

[Matthew Kirwan @matthewtkirwan]

That is all fightening enough but what scares me the most is her absolute committment to Australia being monocultural and the government making it happen. Yes, the government forcibly enforcing all of those prejudices. That's called fascism in my book. She must be stopped.

[Matthew Kirwan @matthewtkirwan]

Yesterday's speech by Pauline Hanson was chilling. Not just the Islamophobia, transphobia, racism, climate denial and protection racket for fossil fuels. Or that she thinks Australian employees are lazy and don't deserve a pay rise.
