Here we go - another week in Parliament & another suite of draconian Anti-Protest & Law & Order measures from Premier Chris Minns! This time they’re so bad that even 2GB are questioning them & Labor Govt members are cringing! So I joined a protest to protest the anti-protest laws - as you do!

Labor are utterly & dangerously hopeless. The only way we will ever get any positive movement on prioritising our precious living Planet is to Vote Green & get more Greens MPs into Parliament! Labor, like the Liberals work for the miners & the big end of town! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This was hellishly offensive, deeply insensitive and utterly lacking in reason. She must apologise. If she doesn’t then she is in fact just evil. shorturl.at/0bJQU

It’s Invasion Day in Australia. Like everyday, we must tell the truth & demand justice. Governments continue to inflict gross injustice against First Nations people. Mass imprisonment is at crisis point 65% of children & 36% of adults in prison are First Nations yet they are 3.8% of the population.

This is what the extinction crisis looks like. A completely malnourished wild koala lying down to die on a hard cement floor. This poor little fella had no injuries he just had no chance! We are on track to lose Koalas forever by 2050 unless something changes - Vote 1 The Greens for our wildlife!

This morning Knitting Nana Chris did what NSW Labor should have done - she stopped logging in our precious Great Koala National Park. Thank you Nana Chris for your courage and strength to put your life on hold and your body on the line to lock on for our precious native forests 🌳 🖤💛💚🌳🐨

Excellent Guardian article on analysis showing NSW Labor’s continued & increased industrial logging of our promised, precious Great Koala National Park! Destroying Native Forests in the nature & climate crises were in is political failure! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

2 days before the end of year break Forestry Corporation admits to ‘accidentally’ destroying 3.5 acres of National Park, this is just days after the revelation Forestry Corp cost taxpayers $29m in losses logging our native forests! NSW Labor needs to act now End Native Forest Logging! Read about it👇🏼

In what economy does the Government destroy our public native forest estate, driving koalas to extinction, causing climate breakdown, increasing fire risk & then make taxpayers pay $29 million in annual losses to do it! This is NSW Labor - please take action now www.suehigginson.org/the_cost_of_...

Here now in the NSW Parliamentary Cat Control Inquiry. Professor Legge - expert witness just gave evidence that Council’s across NSW desperately need powers to enforce cat control at the local level. BTW why are cats not treated the same as dogs? The harm to wildlife from cats has got to stop!

These women are Knitting Nannas, last year they put their lives on hold & took the State of NSW to the Supreme Court to challenge the draconian anti-protest laws & they won! They’re now putting their lives on hold & their bodies on the line for our precious native forests. They are heroes! 💚🌳🐨

We’re fighting for climate justice! We are the Rising Tide 🌊💙💚 This is “The People’s Blockade of the World’s Largest Coal Port.” @australiangreens.bsky.social @risingtideaus.bsky.social

People you need to know & scream - under NSW Labor the number of First Nations people in prison in NSW is the highest ever on record. The Bureau of Crime Statistics & Research has confirmed an 8.2% increase since Sept ‘23. It is on Premier Chris Minns he & his Law & Order agenda are so dangerous!

I’m joining The People’s Blockade of the World’s Largest Coal Port in Newcastle on 23 & 24 Nov. It's the most positive & powerful thing we can do together to say enough! We want more action on climate - no more coal! And it is an awesome "protestival" protest meet festival - Will I see you there?
