Greens MP for Richmond.
Politics is letting everyone down. Corporations and lobby groups are running the show while people struggle to afford the basics.
I’m here to show that a better future is possible, one where renters are secure in their home, where everyone has their basic needs met and the opportunity to thrive – and where politicians actually serve the people they represent.

Charlotte George is the real deal.
She’s not just a dedicated community leader and local parent; Charlotte is also an incredible filmmaker. And alongside her award-winning films and tv series about parenthood and friendship, she’s thrown her skills and energy into making countless films for local community issues. Whether it’s capturing the fight for protected bike lanes, saving public housing, or standing up for renters’ rights, Charlotte is there with her camera, ready to meet us on bikes, on median strips, in derelict buildings, or underground car parks.
I’m often impressed by the way that Charlotte infuses courage, passion, and humanity into everything she does, making complex issues relatable and inspiring. The first time I saw her speak in public, I was captivated. She’s not just a speaker; she’s a storyteller who can truly capture an audience.
But what really sets Charlotte apart is her heart. She’s deeply compassionate and somehow always has time and energy to give, whether it’s for her local primary school, a community project, or to completely transform a family’s life through her refugee sponsorship program, Rosie’s Welcome. Plus, she’s funny, which makes working with her a joy.
Fitzroy needs someone who not only understands our community but lives and breathes it. Charlotte George is that person. She’s the leader who will help create the safer, more inclusive future we all want to see.
Follow @charlottedirects, get behind her and be part of a historic win for Fitzroy 💚

Every renter knows what it’s like to feel powerless in their own home.
This is why the Greens will establish the National Renters Protection Authority (NRPA).
This new renters watchdog will have the power to enforce stronger rental standards and rent caps, and fines of up to $15,650 for dodgy landlords or $78,250 for real estate agencies.
This is just the start.
Property developers have massive political power over the major parties.
But in a system stacked against renters, the NRPA is dedicated to making sure that renters around the country can trust that there’s someone in their corner ready to advise, advocate and fight for them.
This morning I spoke with Tom Elliott on 3AW about our calls on Vic Labor to cancel Land Forces. Sign the petition at the link in my bio.

Land Forces is the largest weapons sales expo in the Asia-Pacific and will be held in Melbourne from September 11th - September 13th.
Their business is war, and the principal sponsor is none other than the Victoria State Labor Government.
In response to the community outcry, Labor is mobilising 1,800 additional police officers - the mounted branch and the riot squad - to ensure that this weapons convention can continue to operate in heightened global and local circumstances.
We’re calling on Labor to cancel Land Forces 2024.

Today is Wear it Purple Day, a day to bring awareness to LGBTQIA+ young people and challenge harmful social cultures.
Backflips on LGBTQIA+ policy from the federal Labor government demonstrate why these days are so important.
After the complete betrayal by Labor this week to not proceed with including sexuality, gender identity and intersex status in the census despite years of work and advocacy from the community and ABS, we’ve seen Labor now decide to only include sexuality. This is a further betrayal to the community.
Trans, gender-diverse and intersex people of Australia deserve to be counted. We won’t stop fighting for you.
Land Forces will bring weapons and war profiting to our doorstep.
This weapons expo creates an unacceptable risk to safety, peace and social cohesion in Victoria.
Join me in calling on the Premier to cancel Land Forces and get out of the business of war.

During the last year, Yarra City Council has run a trial pop-up park on Charlotte Street in Richmond, which was a huge success with the community.
Last week, the Yarra City Council voted to turn the road into trees, grass and places to sit. But unfortunately, other council members voted against it.
Head to the link in my bio now to let your local council know that you want more parks and green spaces to enjoy.
Let’s save Charlotte Street Park.
The Greens have secured new laws to stop investors hoarding homes for profit on Airbnb to free up homes for renters and first home buyers.
This morning I was joined by councillors from across Victoria to celebrate the news and discuss how these new laws will change the lives of people in their communities.

The Greens have secured new laws to stop investors hoarding homes for profit
In the middle of a housing crisis, it’s not right that 48,000 entire homes are on airbnb across the state. This pushes up property prices, locks out first home buyers and takes homes away from renters.
Renters are struggling to find a place to live while property investors hoard homes for huge profits.
But that’s about to change.
The Greens have secured new laws to stop investors hoarding homes for profit on Airbnb, including a property investor levy, combined with new powers for local councils and owners corporations to ban or limit short stay accommodation.
This will pressure investors to make their properties available for people to actually live in. And it will stop investors from buying up homes in the first place just to cash in on Airbnb.
These new changes will help people struggling to find a home, but we still need to freeze rents!
We know pressure works, that’s why we’re going to keep fighting for renters and first home buyers.
SNAP MEETING: This Wednesday 1pm. RSVP at link in bio.
The Victorian Labor Government is giving almost 3 hectares of public land in Fitzroy to property developers for private profit.
When the plan for the redevelopment of the old Fitzroy Gasworks site was announced at the 2018 and 2022 elections, our community was promised public, social and affordable housing. But now in the midst of a housing crisis, they are putting developer profits before the basic right to a home. The new plan has no clear commitment to public, social or genuinely affordable housing.
We know the contracts are about to be signed to sell this public land to private developers – now is the time to make some noise.
Join us on Wednesday so we can plan to save this precious public land from private developers.

Beautiful day to be out doorknocking in Cremorne with Sam Poustie, your Greens candidate for Lennox ward in the October council elections.
We heard from locals who want more housing and less commercial developments, more green space, better cycling and pedestrian infrastructure and less cars through their streets. We also heard from residents struggling with the cost of living wanting more affordable food, a rent freeze and quality services subsidised for those who need it most.
Sam will make an incredible councillor for Yarra. Check out his profile for upcoming letterboxing, doorknocking and events!
Last sitting week I interrupted debate because nothing is more pressing than Victoria ending its complicity in this genocide.
