Michael Berkman - Greens MP for Maiwar Thanks to a bad deal signed by the Queensland Government, a private offshore corporation is holding Brisbane’s airport train to ransom. This is a short history of how we got here, and where to next. The Greens are calling on the Government to buy back the AirTrain and make it 50c 🚊✈️

Senator Barbara Pocock After years of conflict of interest allegations, resignation demands, and scandal, Commissioner Brereton has resigned from the NACC. This is a win for the tireless community and political campaign to demand justice and accountability. The NACC must do better.

Senator Barbara Pocock Under Labor, we’re seeing interest rates rise, real wages fall and a tax system that hits workers harder than billionaires. With inflation expected to rise to 4.8%, the Fair Work Commission has decided to erode the wages of some of the lowest paid workers.

David Shoebridge A whole generation of Australians, young people, renters, and first home buyers, are being locked out of housing while Labor’s budget bill makes sure that those with 5, 10, or 100 investment properties keep every tax lurk they’ve got. The Greens will keep pushing to make sure grandfathering is capped at one investment property, so all Australians can afford a home.

Senator Jordon Steele-John Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their stories, experience and expertise to the inquiry into Labor’s NDIS bill. Putting together a submission often requires a ton of emotional labour. And that’s especially true when many of us are already scared, tired and overwhelmed by what these changes could mean for us. The Inquiry has received over 300 submissions. With such a tight turnaround time, that’s a huge achievement. The government now has to consider each of these submissions before proceeding with its NDIS bill. That’s powerful. We’re powerful. Whatever comes next, I’m so proud of the incredible fight our community is putting up. FYI: Although I can’t respond to everyone individually who has reached out about their submissions, my team and I are so grateful and are reading through as many submissions as we can, as we speak!

Larissa Waters David Shoebridge Huge win for victim-survivors. Women being able to share their experiences of sexual violence in the ADF without fear of reprisal is the only way to reform the system. Well done to Julia Delaforce and Human Rights Law Centre - you’ve given many survivors their voice back. We won’t end sexual harassment and abuse by silencing survivors and hiding bad behaviour. All workplaces, including govt and ADF, should ban the coercive use of NDAs.

Senator Barbara Pocock It’s clear that KPMG’s rot spans far and wide in government. Repeated scandals show they are unfit for government work yet Labor has given them millions of dollars in contracts. Labor must immediately ban KPMG and stop these corrupt firms from milking taxpayers of millions of dollars while abusing the system for their gain.

People in the UK are now seriously discussing wealth taxes, not as a fringe idea but as part of mainstream political debate. That shift is happening because they are facing the same core issue we see in Australia, a cost of living crisis that keeps getting worse while wealth at the top continues to grow.

Rents are rising, housing is becoming less affordable, and everyday costs like groceries and energy are putting pressure on households. At the same time, large corporations and the wealthiest individuals are recording record profits and building more wealth than ever. This is happening alongside falling living standards for ordinary people, which is why inequality is moving to the centre of economic debate.

Tax the gas. Tax the 1%. Tax wealth, not work.

The key issue is not a lack of money in the economy. It is how that money is distributed. Working people carry a growing share of the burden while corporations and high wealth individuals often contribute less through loopholes and structural advantages. Governments then claim there is not enough funding for housing, healthcare, education and essential services, even though the wealth clearly exists.

What is changing is the recognition that inequality is not a side issue but a central driver of the crisis. That leads to a simple question. If inequality is pushing down living standards, what are governments prepared to do about it.

The answer being discussed is to tax wealth more fairly, close loopholes, and ensure large corporations and the wealthy contribute properly, with revenue reinvested into housing, Medicare style healthcare, education, public transport and clean energy.

Australia faces the same pressures and the same choices. We can continue as we are, or we can build a fairer system where prosperity is shared more broadly and living standards are protected.

In a wealthy country like Australia, no one should be struggling to afford a home, see a doctor, or put food on the table. Link in comments below 🖇️👇
