So honoured to be a part of this incredible team, now led by the amazing Ellen Sandell MP and my co-deputy leader Sarah Mansfield MP
We are standing up for people who are struggling to pay their rent, the mortgage or can`t afford groceries.
Fundamentally what is happening is the result of a failed economic ideology that is letting rent & food price rises get out of control.
What the Greens are putting forward is a different economic vision. One where the government does step in, to stop supermarkets price gouging, to freeze rents and to make profiteering corporations pay their fair share of tax
The upcoming budget shouldn`t be full of unnecessary cuts, but one where everyone gets the help they need.
Our Greens team is putting the needs of people who are feeling the pressure, ahead of the interests of profiteering corporations.

Paid my respects at Prahran RSL’s ANZAC day service. Generations pass but it’s always important to remember & reflect, particularly now.
Thanks Rod, Noel and everyone from the RSL for hosting the service and all the work you do.

Victorians need more homes, not hotels. We have an opportunity this budget to make more homes available for renters by regulating short stays like Airbnb - that`s what The Greens and I are pushing for.

Out and about on Domain Road, South Yarra today with our Macnamara candidate Sonya Semmens & Melbourne City Councillor Olivia Ball.

Took my bike down St Kilda Road, where I`m loving the new safe, separated bike lanes. The state government are now saying the lanes will only go to Charnwood Road. I`m pushing them to extend to Carlisle Street as originally promised (and beyond!)

Unlimited rent increases should be illegal.
Rents have increased by over 14% in Melbourne in just a year. What more is it going to take for the Victorian Labor Government to finally take action to help renters?

Rent rises are out of control.
What more will it take for our governments to change our housing system so it supports renters and first homebuyers instead of property investors.

Door knocking our local public housing towers in South Yarra, talking with residents about issues with maintenance, security and Labors plans to demolish the towers & privatise the estate.
Just 2 floors of the tower have had there apartments upgraded nearly 10 years ago, but despite being promised at the time, none of the other floors have had there homes upgraded.
That`s why the Greens have secured an inquiry into the governments development plans that risks displacing residents whilst barley increasing the number of social housing homes.

Community Health organisations like Better Health Network in Prahran, are critical to an affordable, socially just health system, but don`t get the recognition or funding they need to meet the needs of our community.
I was really pleased to join with my colleague Tim Read MP and community health representatives to show my support for putting Community Health First.
