Taxpayers give landlords billions in tax concessions. It’s time we tied that to better conditions for renters. Conditions some renters live in are appalling as photos from Better Renting show. Australians deserve safe, affordable housing with things like longer leases & banning no cause evictions

Yep, Australia is doubling down on new gas projects, new coal mines & new subsidies for fossil fuels…story doesn’t mention that though. Australia is the worlds third largest fossil fuel exporter…but boy our international PR is good…pity PR wont save the planet

This massive stitch-up by the major parties leaves community independents to pay the price without any consultation or robust debate. We need greater transparency in parliament but this is not how to do it… #auspol

Thanks to every single one of you who came to our massive Town Hall event on Thursday night. Independence IS the difference. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are Goldstein, and we are independent
