Because of Labor’s stuff-up, we have a situation in Victoria where unlimited dark money from billionaires and corporations can flow to political parties to influence November's election.
What is holding Labor back from bringing in new laws and stopping the flow of dark money?!

Is Victorian Labor serious about the climate crisis? Offshore gas is forging ahead and offshore wind is delayed. We need to electrify, rather than cling to fossil fuels. heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/…

The Victorian Greens' Renters Day of Action is this Saturday, 9th May!
We know how hard it is to be a renter right now - massive rent increases, no security, all for your landlord to ignore your repair request 🙃

@kevinbonham rebuts any suggestion that Victoria's discredited group voting ticket system helps to keep One Nation out of the state upper house. And reminds us why it's so bad for democracy.

It’s pretty annoying when your bins aren’t collected. But the real frustration is a state government that's underfunded councils for years, forcing workers to strike just to be paid fairly.
Fund our councils, Premier Allan #springst

Speaking at an industry event this morning, it's clear the PM is trying to dampen expectations of a gax export tax, claiming "no surprises" in the upcoming budget.
But he's stopped short of ruling one out.
It's clear that he's feeling the heat.

Well put by Adam. With a fuel crisis and upcoming Brunswick level crossing removal works, there's no time like the present for a pop-up bike lane trial on Sydney Road.

If this is true and Avi can find 500 party members, then Victoria's undemocratic Upper House electoral system will work in his favour.
Labor must scrap Group Voting Tickets. Until then, our elections remain open to manipulation by far-right actors.

Former IDF solider Avi Yemini (now with Rebel News) has launched a party called the "Free Palestine Party" with the intention of "capturing votes and strategically redistributing them" Under the group voting tickets system, preferences are party-controlled in the Vic upper house

Agree with urgent need to restore Vic election funding transparency. Campaign spending caps are fair and work in many states and nations. Using NSW system as a starting point seems wise. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

I missed this development. Good to see they've dropped the case.

If RMIT considers itself to be a university, it should reflect on this student's comment rather than attempt to silence her.
RMIT's claim that her post somehow endangered people, is unconvincing and sounds more than a little desperate.

Free PT is already helping a lot of people avoid spiking petrol prices - but with a lack of services in some areas and issues with overcrowding, the government urgently needs to increase services.
In the medium term, the government also needs a plan to electrify V/Line trains.

The ABC needs to pay its staff properly and the Labor Government needs to fund the ABC to enable that. Wages need to at least keep pace with inflation.

Victorian public school teachers and support staff have walked off the job in the tens of thousands.
The message is clear. Our teachers and support staff deserve better, our public schools deserve better.
English
Right now, the Greens’ inquiry into the impact of these cuts is underway. Well, one of those impacts is playing out in real time. Teachers having to go on strike to demand better.
This is the impact of underfunding public schools. We can and we must do better. (4/4)
English
That money is ripped from the funding pool that pays for teacher salaries. This cut means less support, less resources, & worse outcomes for students.
Teachers could cross the border to NSW and get an almost $300 a week pay rise. It’s no wonder we have a teacher shortage. (3/4)

Victorian teachers in the AEU have just voted to stop work on Tuesday the 24th of March.
Our teachers are the lowest paid in the country and the Greens fully support them in fighting not just for themselves, but for Victorian students. (1/4)
