The decision not to go ahead with a second medically supervised injecting facility in Melbourne is disappointing, and a huge missed opportunity. Services like this save lives at risk. A CBD site would have reduced drug-related harm and connected people with support services.

Thanks Ellen Sandell for stepping up to lead our very effective team of eight Victorian Greens MPs!

And thanks Samantha Ratnam for the way you've set our state MP team up for success.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to turn some of Victoria’s most precious native forests into a national park - but loggers and hunters are trying to stop it.

Dying patients shouldn’t have to fight institutions to get the care they need. Yet in VIC, publicly funded religious (and even some non-faith based) hospitals, hospices and aged care services are denying people access to voluntary assisted dying.

Next Friday Critical Mass is coming to the CBD!

We’ll be riding through the city, highlighting the streets needing separated bike lanes.

Good music, great people, grab your bike and come along!

We need increased public transport services to reduce car dependence, pollution & transport emissions. But in many places, service levels aren’t keeping pace with community need, let alone getting ahead. Services on all lines need to run more often, especially at off-peak times.

We remember Hannah McGuire, Rebecca Young and Samantha Murphy and send our love to their families at this heartbreaking time.

19 lives have been taken in 14 weeks.

Violence against women is a preventable tragedy & we aren't doing enough as a community to protect people's lives.

The oil and gas industry has old pipelines, wells and platforms littered across Victoria’s oceans - basically, ticking time bombs.

But the Labor Government has no idea how many are leaking or about to spring a leak.

The amazing work of Pill Testing Australia at the Rabbits Eat Lettuce festival in QLD should be proof that implementing this service is a no-brainer.

And yet, crickets from the Victorian Labor Premier...

According to Haaretz, Israeli forces used an Elbit Systems drone when they killed Zomi Frankcom, three other aid workers and a Palestinian driver this week.

Victorian Labor must finally rip up its contract with Elbit and demand an immediate ceasefire!

The Yoorrook Justice Commission resumed its public hearings this week.

The hearings have told the painful but important truth of our past, and the impact Australia’s racist, colonial history has had on First Nations people.

We must listen and continue to share these truths.

Victoria is introducing a long overdue tobacco licensing scheme, bringing us in line with the rest of Australia.

I've been calling for this since 2021, but Labor has sat on a review recommending such a scheme for years without explanation, so I’m glad they have finally acted.

Fantastic to see a huge turnout at Torquay on Saturday to stop seismic blasting in our southern oceans! Communities are standing up - and paddling out - to save our seas from corporate greed

Millenials & gen z are copping the brunt of generations of bad policy that has locked them out of the housing market and put them at the at the mercy of ever increasing rents.

But we can fix it.

Renters are coming together like we've never seen before. Labor should be worried.
