While Tasmanians will get FREE public transport for another year, here in SA commuters will save just 15c a trip under Labor’s measly freeze on public transport hikes for 3 months. Time for SA Labor to get on board with free public transport!

Those protesting IDAHOBIT at Reynella East have provided a sad reminder of why this day is so important. LGBTIQ kids exist & school should be a welcoming, safe and inclusive place for all. Homophobia, transphobia & biphobia do not belong at school, at work or anywhere else. 🌈

While Victorian Labor are extending free public transport, here in SA Labor are continuing to sit on their hands. It’s time for the Malinauskas Govt to get with the program and take action on the fuel crisis by making public transport free!

Labor’s $500m fund to encourage private development is no substitute for actually investing in public housing. How many of Labor’s new builds will be affordable?

Racism and fear mongering have no place in our society. Those who seek to divide us will not succeed.
The cost of living crisis is not caused by immigration. It is caused by an economic system that focusses on corporate greed rather than the public good.

Adelaide should be a place where all people feel safe and welcome. Our society is strengthened by diversity and the huge contribution of migrant communities.
Today’s rally does not reflect who we are.

Yesterday’s rate decision is welcome news for homeowners. Now it’s time for the SA govt to back the Greens’ rent freeze bill to finally give renters some relief.

Thinking of everyone over in Queensland today. Thank you to all of the emergency workers and volunteers who are working so hard to keep communities safe.

It’s great to see SA trains back in public hands! Now it’s time for rail to the hills and 50 cent fares!

Did you know that 20 per cent of Australian renters don’t have any cooling during this heatwave? I have a Private Members bill before SA Parliament that would mandate minimum energy efficiency standards for rentals and give renters some relief.

SA’s rental affordability crisis is getting worse. We’re calling for Labor to back our bill to freeze rents for 2 years and finally give renters some relief. Housing should be about people, not profit.

For the third time in a row the SA Greens have achieved a positive swing at a by-election this term. Heysen and Unley will be seats to watch in 2026 along with Sturt at next year’s federal election, as the Greens’ momentum in SA continues to build!

Green is the new Black! The SA Greens will be standing in the Black by-election and announcing our candidate in coming days. This by-election is a big opportunity for that community to send Labor and the Liberals a message on cost of living and the environment.

Our survey found that only 9% of SA renters have adequate insulation in their homes. This proposed bill by SA Greens & @SimmsRobert requiring SA rental homes to meet min. insulation standards would do a lot to make SA homes healthier & more affordable. buff.ly/3Z4wVIL

Renters struggling to keep their homes warm this winter could soon get some relief. Landlords could be forced to make houses more energy efficient but they are warning it will be tenants who will pay. @andrealnicolas #saparli #7NEWS
