    Voters in the inner-west might want to take a look at these plans before you cast your vote tomorrow. Concept designs appear to show privatisation of publicly owned land with no new green space or non-profit housing and very little emphasis on active and public transport...

    Do Indooroopilly residents know Council is looking at massive new high rise in Indooroopilly? Why didn’t Cr Simmonds mention this when he said the Moggill Rd roundabout upgrade was ‘shovel ready’? Is it a road project or a massive development plan?

    As of Nov 2018 there were 32,000 ppl on the Qld social housing waiting list, including 12,000 children. 4,000 of those kids were assessed as "high risk". We MUST commit to safely house every kid in a watch house today & raise the age of crim resp to 14, NOT build more prisons.

    Labor moves to give the Premier more time to blame the former Newman government for the current youth justice crisis during a reduced Question Time in State Parliament today. Blog here:

    I can confirm you don’t know how to be a journalist.

    I can confirm Scott Morrison doesn’t believe gay people go to hell, clarifying his answer to a question yesterday. He has also taken aim at Bill Shorten’s comments today, calling them a “desperate, cheap shot”.

    Ha.

    People may remember some posters of mine got defaced with swastikas a few weeks ago. Rather than just put replacements up, we thought we’d put up ones in the same spot that are six times bigger

    Time for pollies to get their snouts out the trough! Our Greens’ proposal to scrap pre-2004 pollie pensions scheme would save taxpayers $350million. That could pay for DV survivor grants, fund a federal ICAC, be a downpayment on raising Newstart which is decades overdue

    Scrapping politicians' six-figure pensions would save $350m, costings show

    This is exciting.

    We've knocked on over 35,000 doors and talked to thousands of people. We've run the biggest campaign in Qld Greens history. And we can win. 10 days to go. Let's do this.

    How is any of that 'radical'? That all seems pretty commonsense to me.

    Cool

    Did you know that 98% of rental properties are out of reach for people on a minimum wage? This is not okay. Everyone should have a safe place to call home. That's why we'll build a housing system that puts your needs before profit 🏡

    Why is there always money to imprison women & girls but never enough for safe housing, universal daycare, basic income, education, mental health & addiction services? Time to change policy direction & invest in women & girls not carceral systems

    I’m less interested in an Indigenous PM than I am in self-determination for Indigenous communities... getting one person to ‘the top’ of a broken system is easier and less impactful than redesigning the system and elevating all Indigenous ppl, and all Australians, in the process.
