Kumanjayi Walker was only 19 when he was killed by police in 2019 in his home community of Yuendemu. The coronial inquest into his death has exposed deep failures of justice and found the NT Police to be ‘an organisation with hallmarks of institutional racism’.

For the past three years Kumanjayi Walker's family and community have travelled long distances to listen and participate in this inquest. Our hearts are with them, and with the community of Yuendumu. They deserve real action and real justice.

The Greens will continue to support community calls for an independent and robust mechanism for police accountability in the NT and self-determined solutions for alternatives to police and community-controlled health services.

The Greens stand with Raelene Cooper & #SaveOurSonglines for the protection of rock art exemplifying tens of thousands of years of culture. We want to see this global treasure listed as World Heritage. What we don’t want is to see it destroyed by acidic emissions from Woodside.

To give Murujuga’s ancient rock art the best chance of World Heritage listing, Minister Watt should cancel the draft approval for Woodside’s 45 year extension on operating its gas proposal. UNESCO has already warned that Woodside’s plant is threatening the longevity of the art.

Minister Watt’s capitulation to the fossil fuel industry risks sacrificing the world’s oldest art gallery for another 45 years of Woodside profits, and these secret draft conditions can only be a fig leaf for gas profiteering.

It’s outrageous that the conditions of the draft approval remain secret while Woodside negotiates them with the Minister, at the same time as UNESCO considering the fate of the rock art.

Minister Watt is now engaged in a lobbying exercise to dupe other nations when he should have rejected Woodside’s extension in the first place. It’s not too late to cancel the draft approval - to give Murujuga its best shot at World Heritage listing, and protect the climate.

The 48th parliament could achieve real progress, the Greens will keep fighting for climate and the environment, a transition to clean energy, an end to native forest logging, protection for our biodiversity, and no more coal and gas.

We just need Labor to show courage in getting off the payroll of big gas corporations and to work with the Greens to bring our environmental laws into this century with a legislated climate trigger.

Another $800 million to the US for AUKUS, bringing the total to $1.6 billion sent to the US this year. This money goes straight into the US military, no strings attached and no clawback.

BREAKING: The Greens will chair a Senate inquiry into Labor's transition to a new aged care system. You shouldn’t have to be a millionaire just to guarantee care in your old age, but that’s exactly what’s at risk from Labor’s aged care changes.

As Chair of the inquiry, my focus will be making sure advocates and community are heard about the lack of timely access to Home Care Packages, as well as the rising costs and inequality coming from 1 Nov when the remaining changes come into effect.

Adani was given free reign by both major parties to open up dangerous thermal coal mining in the Galilee basin. They got grants, they got royalty holidays, they got favours and public money, and in return, Australians get nothing. theguardian.com/australia-news…

More than 600 First Nations deaths in custody since the Royal Commission, while its recommendations remain unfulfilled, is shameful. This Gov must implement the recs in full, address the structural challenges & deliver justice for First Nations people as an urgent priority.

The March for Humanity across Australia should be a wake-up call for politicians who refuse to take action to end the genocide. Thousands of people from all walks of life demanding in historic numbers that the government sanction Israel. Labor cannot - must not - ignore them.

While Labor still refuses to sanction Israel, end the two-way arms trade, or even recognise Palestine - people have had enough. Words won't feed starving kids. Until Australia adds to the growing pressure on Israel to stop blockading aid, the engineered famine will kill people.
