I know how many people are tired of the same old empty promises from major parties — because that’s why I joined the Greens in the first place.
The Greens don’t just talk about change — we deliver it.
We lead the way on major issues, we get Labor to act and prevent the Liberals from dragging us backwards.
The Greens don’t take political donations from corporations. That’s why we deliver change for everyday people.
We’ve already:
- Delivered $3 billion of extra funding for public and community housing, and an extra $500 million for critical social housing upgrades.
- Secured dental healthcare in Medicare for children under 18, ensuring coverage for 3.4 million kids.
- Won significant improvements to the Safeguard Mechanism, which will now stop roughly half of coal & gas projects in the pipeline and put a hard cap on pollution.
- Enshrined the right to disconnect from work out of hours in the National Employment Standards, and helped criminalise wage and super theft.
- Forced Labor to scrap dodgy greenwashing in the form of ‘carbon offsets’ from their nature repair laws.
- Ensure that the National Reconstruction Fund, Future Made in Australia, and Export Finance Australia cannot fund coal, oil & gas projects.
- Secured $1.7 billion in total funding to help homes and businesses lower their energy bills and get off gas.
- Forced massive private companies to disclose their tax arrangements and cleaned up conflicts of interests of big consulting firms in the wake of the PwC scandal.
- Delivered a national anti-corruption commission with teeth by ensuring its new independent Inspector can oversee and audit the Commission.
- Abolished the childcare subsidy activity test, ensuring better access to early learning for hundreds of thousands of kids.
Now, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to go even further.
This election, experts are predicting a minority government. Last time there was a minority government, we secured dental into Medicare for kids, billions for clean energy, and world-leading climate laws.
This time, we can expand Medicare to include dental and mental health, triple the bulk-billing incentive and protect our precious environment.
All of this is possible. Countries around the world already have things we’re fighting for right now.
Here’s just some of the things I’m fighting for this election — or you can check out our fully costed national plan here.
