A once in a generation opportunity. | The Australian Greens

Jan 22, 2025 | greens.org.au | Adam Bandt

By Adam Bandt, Greens Leader & MP for Melbourne We live in such an incredibly beautiful country and summer is such a special time. Times we hold dear all year, with those dearest to us. The long days give you time to think, try new things, swim in the ocean and sleep under the stars. You feel a glimpse of the country that might have once been. Lands and seas on which people thrived for tens of thousands of years before colonisation.
Adam Bandt: Use your vote to fix nation’s cost-of-living debacle

Sep 29, 2024 | thewest.com.au | Adam Bandt

Ten dollars for Vegemite. Hundreds of dollars more per week in rent. Soaring mortgages. If you’re worried about the cost of living, you’re not alone. Millions of people in WA are struggling. In just the past few years, rents, food and power costs have all increased. At the same time, the profits of big corporations like big supermarkets and the big banks have also increased. It’s not by accident.
If you rent, and you want change, you have to vote for it

Aug 27, 2024 | docklandsnews.com.au | Adam Bandt

Renting in the City of Melbourne is too expensive and too many politicians are doing nothing about it. Over the past few years, rents have continued to increase, forcing people to move out, or even become homeless. If we don’t have affordable places to live, how do we expect to maintain the character of who we are, a vibrant, artistic, innovative and diverse place? Currently, less than one per cent of rental properties in Melbourne’s CBD are affordable. It has to change.
With an election on the horizon, Labor continues to let us down

Jul 25, 2024 | greens.org.au | Adam Bandt

By Adam Bandt, Leader of the Australian Greens You can feel that there’s an election on the horizon. It's not clear whether it will be toward the end of this year or it might be next year, but it’s coming. We have to be ready. According to the polling, Labor’s in the low 30s. The most likely outcome of the election at this stage is Labor losing a few seats, and its parliamentary majority.
Building A Powerful Movement For Change

Jun 28, 2024 | greens.org.au | Adam Bandt

By Adam Bandt, Leader of the Australian Greens & MP for Melbourne Our goal is to build a powerful movement for change. We want to transform this country from one where big corporations make massive profits from wars, the climate crisis and the essentials, like food, housing and power - the things people need - to one where the interests of people are prioritised. In the upcoming federal election, and the decade to come, we have a historic opportunity to grow our party’s base of support.
Dutton’s nuclear dead cat

Jun 25, 2024 | docklandsnews.com.au | Adam Bandt

The climate crisis and power prices have been back in the news lately. Let’s get one thing straight. The reason we’re paying too much for power is because big corporations are making massive profits, at our expense. Peter Dutton announced that he would pursue nuclear power. In reality, it’s an attempt to lock in profits for coal and gas corporations. It’s not serious. It is a dead cat.
A band-aid budget of betrayal and solidarity with the students

May 23, 2024 | greens.org.au | Adam Bandt

By Adam Bandt, Leader of the Australian Greens & MP for Melbourne It’s been a big month, our team returned to Canberra after the autumn break and what we saw was more of the same from the old parties. A budget of betrayal from Labor and fear-mongering and dog-whistling by Peter Dutton and the Liberals. Budgets are about choices, and if you’re feeling crushed, angry, betrayed and gaslit by this Government lately, you’re not alone.
What's at stake ahead of the budget

Apr 25, 2024 | greens.org.au | Adam Bandt

By Adam Bandt, Leader of the Australian Greens & MP for Melbourne Right now, millions of people around the country are struggling to pay the rent or mortgage and keep up with the rising cost of food. It’s not radical to think that everyone in this country should be able to afford a home and food to eat.
The Next Fight In Protecting Our Climate Future

Mar 21, 2024 | greens.org.au | Adam Bandt

By Adam Bandt, Leader of the Australian Greens Across the country, there are millions of people who are doing their part to tackle the climate crisis. Some are installing renewables, others might be going to rallies or sending money to other groups who are trying to get us off coal and gas. But in one flick of the pen, Labor can undermine all that work by all those people, as it would do by approving the massive Barossa Gas Field. We have to stop them. We have made climate gains in recent years.
We must stop Labor privatising public housing

Oct 10, 2023 | northwestcitynews.com.au | Adam Bandt

In his final act as Premier, Daniel Andrews announced the sell-off of huge swathes of Melbourne’s remaining public housing. Forty-four public housing towers are to be demolished and public housing land sold off to developers. Labor is embarking on the biggest privatisation spree since former Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett. Among the first to go will be the towers in North Melbourne and Carlton, within the next few years. These communities are vibrant, diverse and important.
