Given the number of MPs inside the Victorian Liberal Party who have shamelessly invoked the fig-leaf of "women's safety" in vilifying trans people, I'm looking forward to hearing their plan for tackling family and domestic violence. (They will say something soon, right?)
Give us a break…
Pocock hasn't wasted a day in Parliament, and has been crucial to key integrity reforms. For example, did you know more than 2,000 people have all-access rights to Parliament House, but the public isn't allowed to know who they are, or who they work for🤔 abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
Today we announced we're fundraising to help the most promising new community independent campaigns across the country.
More logging = less drinking water. 🌳=🚰 🪵=🚱 Logging in Melbourne’s water catchments increases evapotranspiration, which causes 15,000,000,000 litres of water to be lost from our dams per year. By 2050, that’s 600,000 people’s annual water usage! theconversation.com/logging-must-s…
If you want to understand just how broken our HECS system is, here is a quick story 🧵 A few weeks ago, someone approached me at a community forum to tell me about her kids.
“Australians expect the national #nature law to actually protect the wildlife that we pride ourselves on, not to allow the ongoing destruction of vital habitat for threatened species," said Hannah Schuch, Qld Campaign Manager at Wilderness Society. More👇wilderness.org.au/new-nature-laws
An investigation by @Wilderness_Aus @GreenpeaceAP & @QLDConservation has exposed multiple instances of large-scale #deforestation not referred to the federal government for approval, revealing major flaws in Australia's national environmental law. #EPBC wilderness.org.au/joint_deforest…
@mel4hawthorn @tanya_plibersek I’d love a section that also includes the great Tassie forests
The Chief Scientist says nuclear is very expensive and the former Chief Scientist says it will cause carbon emissions to skyrocket. Once again on climate change, the Coalition is one side and the science is on the other. I'll go with the science.
This morning, I will deliver the largest ever public call for changes to HECS indexation to the Education Minister. In six days more than 85,000 people have signed my petition for fairer HECS debts.
Some exciting news: My new book, Man-Made, has just been optioned by a production company to adapt to TV! Can't wait to bring the wisdom of AI technologists, ethicists and advocates to a screen near you. Hearty thanks to Film Camp, Diana Fisk, Jane Novak and @SimonSchusterAU
In 1890, John Muir a naturalist, Ansell Adams an acclaimed photographer and the then President of the USA Franklin Roosevelt, met at Wowona and created the world’s first National Park. Awesome! @tanya_plibersek how amazing would it be for you to create greatforestnationalpark.com.au/park/

Great to see another crossbench integrity reform make its way into government policy. Congratulations @zalisteggall. Independents are strengthening our democracy: ✅ National Anti-Corruption Commission ✅ Truth in political advertising Now let's pass my #CleanUpPoliticsAct.

The Coalition is now saying the quiet part out loud: their nuclear energy policy will keep coal going for longer. We have the best renewable energy in the world. The Coalition can keep the climate wars going, but my community is ready to see us become a renewables superpower.
ASRC welcomed 50 Palestinians newly arrived from Gaza yesterday, nearly 1/2 were children, all had no Medicare, work rights or Centrelink All 15 families were provided food, myki cards & access to social workers & immunisations by our nurses & can come in weekly to us for help

How does inflation continue to impact ordinary people… I think Senator Pocock explains this. We look impressive on the world market because we have a lot to sell! What do we actually charge for what we are selling? Senator Pocock explains… we get nothing!
HECS debts are set to increase by 4.8% in six weeks unless the Federal Government urgently intervenes. A person on $60,000 with an average HECS debt will see their debt increase by $1,177, despite having paid off $1,200 over the year. Time for urgent reform.

Pocock hasn't wasted a day in Parliament, and has been crucial to key integrity reforms. For example, did you know more than 2,000 people have all-access rights to Parliament House, but the public isn't allowed to know who they are, or who they work for🤔 abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

Great to see the government move on HECS. Thank you to everyone who signed my petition - now one of the largest in Australian political history. You acted, and it really does look like the government is going to listen.
Thanks for coming to my fifth Town Hall, Senator Pocock.
Thanks to @Mon4Kooyong for the invitation to her town hall. We discussed lobbying reform, climate politics, the Middle Arm petrochemical hub & lots more. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the other independents who are standing up for their communities & holding the govt to account.
Words matter – how lovely to see them being used to great effect thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2024/0…
