What will we do without this absolute icon?!
Thank you for everything you have brought to our Greens movement over the years 💚
Watch Janet’s valedictory speech tonight at 6pm on the parliament website.
Live music is under threat! 🚨Last night a full room of residents, live music artists and venue owners got together to talk about the future of live music in Victoria.
We’re losing our iconic venues to the rising cost of everything and in particular massive exorbitant insurance cost hikes. So many are just keeping their heads above water - this could be the nail in the coffin.
Together with the live music community I’m calling on the state government to publicly insure live music venues like they do with the construction industry, cultural institutions and schools.
⚡️If you want to help save live music in Victoria sign and share the petition at the link in my bio⚡️
(Next up - we’ll have posters in all our venues. Sign up to get involved.)
Thanks to the @fitzroyresidentsassociation for organising and @theprovincialhotel for the venue and drinks!

Today I joined RMIT staff and @nteu_rmitbranch striking for fair pay, safe workloads and secure jobs.
It’s outrageous that it’s been more than 1000 days since their Higher Education enterprise agreement expired, 780 days since Vocation Education enterprise agreement expired.
The university execs on cushy wages are dragging out enterprise bargaining processes with unfair and bad-faith bargaining negotiations, aggressive legal tactics and trying to underball the unions with stingy, misleading and manipulative non-union ballots.
And that’s why RMIT staff are compelled to strike. And why the Greens are supporting you. Because staff conditions are student learning conditions.
Are you one of the mad ones? Sign up to our fortnightly campaign night at the link in my bio. The next one is this Wednesday 💚
This podcast lays out exactly how generations of poor housing policy have caused the current housing crisis.
Policies that make it easier for landlords to buy their 2nd, 3rd, 4th property, than for a young family to buy their first, and a lack of rent controls and protections for renters have locked millennials and gen z out of the housing market and encouraged the boom of the landlord class.
But we can change this.
Labor is feeling the pressure of millennials and gen z who are experiencing some of the worst housing stress in Australia in a century.
It should not be this difficult to keep a roof over your head. We won’t accept policies that put landlords and property developers over renters and first home buyers.

SAVE LIVE MUSIC🎤🎸🎹
⭐️Add your name to the petition at the link in my bio.
Music venues in Victoria are under enormous pressure. On top of rising rents and the cost of living, insurance for live music venues has been hiked up astronomically, putting the local music scene at risk. Too many venues have already had to shut their doors.
Our local live music venues are crucial to nurturing multiple and evolving cultures and we want to make sure that our venues and local music thrive into the future.
I’ve written to the State Government to step in and underwrite live music venues’ insurance through the government’s Victorian Managed Insurance Authority.

While I was doorknocking at the public housing towers in my electorate I was shocked by how many vacant apartments there were.
Labor’s housing system is so broken that they let public homes sit empty while others have to sleep on the street.
Yesterday was a day I’ll remember for a very long time. From morning to afternoon we stood with public housing residents as the parliament decided the fate of an inquiry that will be such an important step in saving our public housing towers from demolition and privatisation.
When the upper house voted to support the inquiry, there were hugs and tears all around up in the gallery where residents were watching from above.
This fight is far from over but our pressure is so important and it’s working. Labor may hold the power but together we are a massive community of thousands of residents and their neighbours who care deeply about putting people before private profits.
There’s so much more to do. Want to get involved? Send me a DM.
I’ll never forget Wren Pleasant. I had the privilege of meeting her when she spoke at the rental crisis inquiry last year.
Wren blew me away with her sense of purpose and clarity. Her words come to me often when I am writing speeches and planning the next steps seeking justice for renters.
Earlier this month, Wren died after battling depression.
I’m deeply sorry that this world failed you, Wren. My promise to you and all renters out there is this: I will not give up until everyone is safe and secure in their home.
Watch until the end to see an excerpt of Wren’s statement at the rental crisis inquiry.
The State Library of Victoria needs to come clean on their decision making processes that led to four pro Palestinian writers having their contracts abruptly cancelled.
Political censorship is indefensible.
This is not ok.
We’re building a movement of renters demanding better. Want to join us?

Our local venues are folding at an unprecedented rate - astronomical rents and ridiculous insurance hikes have spelt a death sentence for live, local music. The Victorian Government has got to step in to make sure we don’t lose our local music scene.
I’ll be really sorry to@thebendigo go. Get in touch if you’re a live music venue to tell me how you’d like me to advocate for your survival.
I want to hear from you about what you care about.
If you live in the Richmond electorate, join me for a town hall meeting over the next few months.

This is the kind of leadership we need right now. Well done to Merribek Councillors @adampulford @angelicapanopoulos_greens and Mark Reilly
It was great to meet London-based architect Paul Karakusevic and talk about public housing refurb. Paul hs worked for 20 years with government and residents in the UK to retrofit and upgrade public housing. I loved his ideas for the towers in Victoria that the Labor government claim must be demolished with absolutely no research, evidence or alternative.
Thanks to @rory_hyde for the intro!
Also behind us are some of the artworks for auction to fund the alternative architectural plans to save Victoria’s public housing from demolition. @___office is Australia’s only not-for-profit architecture studio investing in the project to Repair, Retain and Reinvest in public housing.
