As possibly one of the only MPs who has worked with people who inject drugs, and who has had patients die or sustain lifelong brain injuries from opioid overdoses, this weak decision by Labor hits hard.

Our new Vic Greens party leader, @ellensandell! 💚
Our new Vic Greens party leader, @ellensandell! 💚
Today I officially become a former senator. I feel sad, excited and grateful. I'll still be working for a just, green world while also taking a much needed break when I can. See you around the traps, and cheers!
Meet Samantha Ratnam, your Greens candidate for Wills! 🎉 Samantha has proudly served her community for over a decade, as the Mayor of Merri-bek, member for Northern Metro and leader of the Victorian Greens. Join our campaign to turn Wills GREEN: greensforwills.com
You're invited! Join us to farewell Janet and celebrate her decade in the Senate and her huge role in our Greens movement. 💚 Don't forget to RSVP! greens.org.au/janetfarewell
Last week on my last day of parliament I ceremoniously passed the baton (aka teapot) onto Senator-elect @stephhodginsmay I encourage you to follow Steph across her social channels. There's plenty more work to do, and she'll be part of creating the change we need!
Music venues in Victoria are under enormous pressure. On top of rising rents and the cost-of-living, insurance has been hiked up, putting our music scene at risk. That's why we're calling on the state government to save our live music scene by offering venues cheaper insurance.
Thank you Janet, for everything you have done for our movement. You have never backed down, never given up, and never stopped fighting. We will miss you greatly in this place.
After 10 years as a @Greens Senator for Victoria, @janet_rice will give her valedictory speech this evening. We need more people like my dear friend Janet in parliament. A force in the @Greens & an incredible advocate for so many.
My friend & colleague Senator @janet_rice is leaving the Senate after 10 years. It's been wonderful to work with you Janet - thank you for all your incredible work on LGBTIQA+ rights, income support & the fight to end native forest logging across Australia. We'll miss you 💚
The incomparable @janet_rice has been a great champion for our forests, for LGBTIQ+ rights and for those living in poverty and on income support. Thank you Janet for your decades of contribution to our movement, including 10 years as a Senator for Victoria.

Slapping ankle bracelets on children as young as 14 is a regressive, inhumane policy. First Nations communities are already calling it a "betrayal", yet it seems Labor would prefer to let Victoria Police write their legislation than listen. The Greens will fight it.
If you earn under $164, 000 you can't afford to buy a home. If you earn under $104,000 you can't afford to rent. The average income in Melbourne is $96,000. Make it make sense.
BREAKING: The Greens have secured an inquiry into Labor's plan to demolish 44 public housing towers. This is a plan that will see the towers razed, 10,000 residents displaced, and most of the land sold to private developers. A huge win for public housing residents & advocates.

Big thanks to @jonathan_sri for a great campaign for Mayor of Brisbane. We’ve had positive swings towards the Greens across the city because of Jonno & the team's transformative vision. We fought to give people more say in their community instead of developers & we're so proud 💚

Autobesity and truckzillas. Utes and SUVs are expanding, but our inner city streets stubbornly refuse to get any wider. Good to see Yarra Council might do something about it.
Premier Allan has said she's seeking further advice on pill testing. Well, the advice is clear, and it has been for years. Each day Labor refuses to back pill testing is another day a young person is at risk of overdose or worse.
As we return to Parliament, the Greens are ready to tackle the crises facing Victorians. Climate change, housing affordability, and the skyrocketing cost-of-living are hitting hard. The question is: will Labor work with us on progressive reform, or side with the Liberals?
Victoria Police involved in yet another case demonstrating the need for better oversight of police. Only a powerful and independent police ombudsman will improve VICPOL's culture. 1/2
