Yes.

If only more political ‘leaders’ spent time at a World Cup, or created their own.

To dance, sing together, remember great folk heroes.

World would be a n immeasurably better place ⚽️

The people of the world excel at collaboration, joy, comraderie and cross-cultural acceptance at World Cup time.

Why can’t we always.

Happy New Year to you all?

The Australian people gave the Greens a strong Senate vote and a mandate to hold Labor to account and to push them on issues like climate, environment, housing, and social and economic justice. We will be doing exactly that.

Huge rollout at the anti-salmon farm rally in Nipaluna/Hobart today.

Next week in parliament Labor could be working with the Greens to strengthen environment laws, but the PM has chosen to work with Peter Dutton to gut environmental protections.

It is an absolute disgrace.

Massive congratulations to former Tasmanian and Australian Greens Leader Christine Milne on her inclusion on the Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women. Christine is a groundbreaking thinker and political figure who was always ahead of her time, a trait that remains true today.

[ASRC @ASRC1]

We welcome the landmark decision by the UN HRC that Australia is responsible for people who sought safety on our shores.

This confirms what we've known for a long time – that we cannot shirk our responsibility by banishing people to Nauru and PNG.

Important case.

“The outsourcing of operations does not absolve states of accountability. Offshore detention facilities are not human rights-free zones.”

Rally on Sunday 12 January at 12pm at the State Library

Refugees and their fight for freedom will be front and centre at the weekly Palestine rally on Sunday. Supported by Refugee WAVE and the Tamil Refugee Council.

RAC encourages refugee supporters to attend.

[Close the Camps Ac. @ClosetheCamps]

The deportation laws passed by the govt on Thursday are cruel & shocking.
Thousands of people with children born in this country will spend the Christmas break in fear of what could happen next.
Our struggles are connected.
Be ready for anti-deport actions! They will be needed!

[Craig F̶o̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ @Craig_Foster]

Refugees and asylum seekers have basic rights.

That the world agreed to grant them.

Including Australia.

They should never be an easy political target, bashed around at every election.

Let us respect and uphold our international obligations.

The only royalty worth honouring @SenatorThorpe
Sovereign, defiant and fearless. Solidarity always with First Nations' here and a commitment to put in the work needed collectively to 'bring down the colony'.

[Senator Lidia Thorpe @SenatorThorpe]

Tearing up the colony, from one Sovereign woman to another ✌🏾✊🏾
