Qld Nickel should have been made to pay for job-intensive rehabilitation of site up front

Revelations that the state government failed to secure a bond for the rehabilitation of the Qld Nickel are deeply disappointing.

“It’s disgraceful that the state government failed to secure a bond from the company for the job-intensive rehabilitation of the site,” Qld Senator Larissa Waters, Australian Greens Deputy Leader, said.

“If the refinery is shut down, rehabilitation would provide much-needed local jobs and would be essential to protect locals’ health, as well as tourism jobs by removing the pollution threat to the Great Barrier Reef.

People power stops sexist 'pick up artist’ tour

The Australian Greens congratulate the online community campaign that has successfully put a stop to Real Social Dynamics’ Australian tour or sexist ‘pick up artist’ seminars.

“When Australians stand together to speak out against violence and sexism we can prevail,” Senator Larissa Waters, Australian Greens Deputy Leader and spokesperson for women, said.

“It’s disgraceful that one of the sexist seminars, which promote choking, threatening and abusing women, was reportedly able to go ahead before Jeff Allen left the country.

Revoke visa to stop promotion of violence and sexism

The Australian Greens are calling on the Liberal Government to stop more sexist ‘dating’ seminars, which promote choking, threatening and abusing women, from going ahead in Australia.

Senator Larissa Waters, Australian Greens Deputy Leader and spokesperson for women, is calling on Minister Dutton to revoke the visa of seminar presenter Jeff Allen, a colleague of Julien Blanc.

“It’s disgraceful that the government has reportedly already failed to stop one of these events, which promote domestic violence, from going ahead in Australia,” Senator Waters said.
