Residents were shocked by the announcement when it was made a year ago and they still don’t have answers about why this is happening or what their future holds.
This report is a game changer ⬆️
It reveals that retrofitting rather than demolishing the public housing towers at the Flemington estate would save the government nearly $364 million, all without displacing residents or privatising the public housing land.
Now, Victorians can see the truth that Labor cares more about its property developer mates than making sure people have a secure and affordable roof over their head.

Turns out, people actually want the government to do good things!
It`s POSSIBLE & POPULAR for Labor to stop supermarket price-gouging, freeze rents, and more.
It`s time they step up and do it.

How is the cost of living affecting your health?
As out of pocket healthcare costs increase, Victorians are finding it harder every day to access essential services. The Greens want to fix this, to ensure that everyone (regardless of bank balance) can get the care they need. To do this, we need your help.
Have you:
⏰ Delayed accessing healthcare in the last 12 months?
💰 Avoided seeing a doctor or getting a scan because of the cost?
🤒 Found it hard to get the healthcare you need?
🧠 Felt this impact your physical or mental health?
We want to hear about it all, and what you think the government should be doing to improve healthcare access. This will better inform our health policies and ensure we’re fighting for you and the things you need.
Take the 5-minute survey (link in bio) and help join the fight to make healthcare accessible and affordable for all.

I’m joining Senator @stephhodginsmay in hosting a Baby and Kids Clothes Swap at Windsor Community Children`s Centre @windsorccc on Sunday the 20th October. Looking forward to catching up with local families and neighbours, enjoying coffee and pastries, and continuing to advocate for the community to save the centre.
Our message to the state government is loud and clear: stop the rezoning, save local childcare, and protect public land.

Healthcare costs are spiraling out of control.
No one should have to choose between buying groceries, paying their bills or going to the doctor.
That’s why the Greens have a bold plan that will improve the health of our community, and bring down the cost of living.

Well, there it is. Australia`s supermarket duopoly have the highest profit margins in the world.
While the government sits on their hands, Coles and Woolworths are getting away with ripping us off - unfairly raising their prices so they can make massive profits.
That`s why the @victoriangreens are introducing the Supermarket Industry Bill to cap profit margins on essential grocery items.
The time to act is now.

As someone who`s lived in the area for 15 years, I`ve seen Windsor go from strength to strength. Glad to see it`s getting recognition 😎

I was down at 259 Malvern Rd public housing tower yesterday with my team talking to residents of the next public housing tower the state Labor government are set to demolish, kicking out hundreds of residents from their homes in the middle of a housing crisis.
The residents are not happy, and neither am I. Here’s some of what they had to say when we spoke to them:
“We’re shocked. Many of the community are very upset”
“I just can’t move from here. We’re old and sick, we can’t drive, we need to be close to our doctors, to the Alfred.”
“People live their whole lives here. I’ve lived here for 55 years. The kids who go to school nearby. We would rather they just renovate and actually upkeep the building, rather than demolish.”
“This is all about the developers - this is public land! Why aren’t they prioritising building public housing first?”
I am deeply concerned about this demolition. In the middle of a housing crisis, the government should be building more public housing, not tearing it down.

Coles and Woolworths have been caught red (foam) handed, gouging prices and lying to shoppers.
They cannot be allowed to continue to rip us off as they please.
The Greens have a plan to fix this.
Our Supermarkets Industry Bill, which is currently before the Victorian Parliament, would stop price gouging and lower the cost of your groceries by setting maximum profit margins on essential items, such as milk, bread and cheese.
Labor needs to back our plan to stop price gouging, so we can drive down grocery prices.
