Larissa Waters Instagram - Julian Assange is coming home.

After 1901 days, Julian has finally been released from Belmarsh prison.

Our thoughts are with Stella, his children, and all his family and loved ones desperate to see him. 

While great news, a decade of Julian’s life was taken by US overreach. 

Journalism is not a crime. 

Pursuing Assange was anti-democratic, anti-press freedom, and the charges should have been dropped.

To the millions of people around the world who campaigned to #FreeAssange thank you.

Larissa Waters Instagram - How can the government suggest a 43% pay rise for the Governor-General - regardless of the person currently filling the role - when we are still drastically underpaying our lowest paid workers?

The Greens cannot support this increase to the GG salary, any more than we support the overpayment of any other CEO, executive, or senior public servant, especially not during a cost of living crisis. And especially not while the lowest paid women in our workforce continue to be underpaid and undervalued.

Larissa Waters Instagram - Great news for Ireland, and much needed here in Australia!

We’re in a cost of living crisis, we know people are skipping medications. Making contraceptives free - would make an enormous difference to people’s lives. 

The Senate inquiry into reproductive healthcare recommended making contraception more affordable for all people, but Labor's response to that report is now 10 months overdue!
Larissa Waters Instagram - The first hearings of the Senate inquiry into peri and menopause start on Monday, where we'll hear from and get to ask questions of experts, academics, health and workplace practitioners, and – most importantly – people with lived experience of perimenopause and menopause. 

I've been blown away by the support from all sides of politics on this issue, as well as from the public, and cannot wait for this inquiry to get underway. And for a dynamite report which we will pressure the Government of the day to implement the recommendations of – because women are worth it!

Larissa Waters Instagram - When you’d rather rail against posters than inequality and the climate crisis… Weird flex, but ok.
Larissa Waters Instagram - Calling all UQ students! The UQ Union has called a general meeting tomorrow night the 29th of May at 6pm!

If you are currently enrolled as a UQ student, you will be able to vote on the three questions:

1. Should UQ sever ties with companies that supply the Israeli Defence Force?
2. Should UQ shut down the Boeing centre?
3. Should UQ financially divest from Israel?
A General Meeting is the union’s highest decision making body. If the students at the meeting vote yes to these questions it will become the official position of the UQ Union, but it is absolutely critical that there are 300 students in attendance at the meeting.

This is the student body’s chance to remind the university that their top priority should be accountability to their students. I implore all students to show up, bring your student card and vote YES for justice for Palestine!
Larissa Waters Instagram - The Coalition will never be serious about the climate crisis. Pleasing people in Paris is hardly the issue here, but the Opposition Leader knows that. 

The Liberals' nuclear fantasies are a distraction. Labor has 92 new coal and gas projects in the pipeline, and the 5 new coal and gas projects  approved in the last year. 

The major parties are making the climate crisis worse. People want action on climate change, not more coal, gas and hot air from the climate deniers.
Larissa Waters Instagram - Yesterday the Greens moved that Australia recognise the State of Palestine.

146 countries around the world have taken this step. Norway, Spain and Ireland did so Tuesday night.

But Labor voted against it. Joined by Peter Dutton’s Liberals. 

Even though their own election platform calls on them to recognise Palestinian Statehood.

Everyone of us are judged for the things we say, the way we vote, and the actions we take in this Parliament - especially when thousands upon thousands of lives are at stake.

We will not stop pushing Labor to stop the two-way arms trade with Israel, sanction Netanyahu and his war cabinet, expel the Israeli ambassador, and stop supporting this horrific invasion.

We will not stop until Palestine is free. đŸ‡µđŸ‡¸
Larissa Waters Instagram - The Greens had a big win this week, forcing Labor to dump their sneaky attempt to give the Resources Minister the power to ignore environmental laws about offshore gas. The remainder of the offshore gas bill, which deals with worker’s safety issues, was passed.

Back by popular demand: here’s who voted for what in the Senate last week đŸ‘†

Larissa Waters Instagram - The Coalition’s nuclear plan is a fantasy, but the reality is, when it comes to coal and gas, Labor and the Liberals are on a unity ticket.

Both the major parties take millions from polluting fossil fuels corporations.

We must fight back against the major parties’ attempts to distract us.

We need climate action, and a clean energy plan to get us there.

Larissa Waters Instagram - UK Labour is considering a move to lower the voting age, it's time Australian Labor got on board with the campaign to lower it in Australia too! 

Young people deserve a say in the decisions affecting their future. 16 and 17 year olds can drive, work, pay tax. So why not vote?

Larissa Waters Instagram - This morning I had the honour to speak alongside Zahra and Vashini at a rally to stop Labor's Deportation and Entry Ban Bill.

Labor’s proposed bill is worse than anything we saw under the Morrison government. If passed it will violate our international human rights obligations, rip families apart and whip up racism around the country.

In a country like Australia, we should be proud of multicultural and migrant communities. The Greens will always fight for human rights and for permanent protection for all refugees.

We need Labor to know that racism won't win them votes at the next election. Please make your voice heard and sign the petition in my stories.

Larissa Waters Instagram - Sorry Day is a day for Australians to reflect on and never forget the loss, devastation and pain inflicted on and experienced by our Stolen Generations. This includes their loss of connection to culture, country, loved ones and language. Their losses cannot be measured.

First Nations people are still feeling the devastating impacts of their communities and families being forcibly and violently torn apart and their babies and children being removed. Sadly this is still an everyday experience for many First Nations people.

We need to continue to recognise and honour their grief and loss but we also acknowledge the strength, spirit and rich culture of Elders and First Nations people. Their courage and resilience continues to lead the way.

On the first Sorry Day since the Voice referendum, we invite reflection on Australia's violent history and the silencing of First Nations voices and the discrimination faced by them every day.

If Labor is committed to truth telling, honouring the vicious history of colonisation and the Stolen Generations, then as we move towards Reconciliation Week they need to implement the Makarrata Commission and the recommendations in the Bringing them Home Report.

First Nations people are hurting. Their outcomes are worsening. No more broken promises. We need action.

Larissa Waters Instagram - Today is Public Education Day, and I am proudly public school, and proud to send my kids public too! 

Here’s me on my very first day of year one at Rainworth State School.

Only 1.3% of public schools receive the bare minimum funding they need from governments. Meanwhile, governments are overfunding 98% of private schools.

The Greens are pushing the Labor government to fund all public schools to 100% of the Schooling Resource Standard at the start of the next school funding agreements in January 2025.

Labor is in government in every mainland state and territory. There is no reason they can’t fully fund our public schools tomorrow and make everyone #ProudToBePublic.
Larissa Waters Instagram - For Queenslanders struggling with the cost of living, 50 cent public transport fares is a big win. But public transport should just be free!

More from @amymacsouthbne đŸ‘‡

The Greens have been calling for free public transport for years - if Labor want to copy our homework, at least do it properly.

The government are still going to be paying millions per year for their privatised ticketing system. They have never published the annual costs, but it’s likely somewhere around $50 million per year. So why not scrap fares completely, save money and cut out a huge hassle for everyone?

At 50c per trip, switching off the fare machines would actually be cheaper for the government.

The Greens will still be pushing for thousands more bus, train and ferry services - like more frequent and reliable bus routes and more CityCat stops! Because 50 cents won’t mean much if you’re still dealing with a public transport network that is slow, infrequent, or stuck in congestion.

And what happens come February? Will we go back to having one of the most expensive public transport systems in the world?

In the next Parliament, the Greens will be pushing to make sure public transport is free permanently.

I’d love to see Labor pick up some of our other ideas to help Queenslanders with the cost of living like freezing rents and making public schools and healthcare genuinely free.
Larissa Waters Instagram - Nine gas projects. Five coal projects. 

That’s how many fossil fuel projects have been approved since the Albanese Government came to office. 

The International Energy Agency has said no new coal, oil and gas projects can be built in order to reach net zero by 2050. 

But Labor care more about lining the pockets of billionaires like Gina Rinehart and the fossil fuel CEOs.

Larissa Waters Instagram - The Budget was the Albanese Government's chance to finally act on the calls from women's safety advocates and experts, and fully fund frontline domestic, family and sexual support services.

Crowing about a $9 billion surplus and continuing to hand out $50 billion in fossil fuel subsidies while refusing to provide $1 billion to properly fund women's safety would be laughable if it weren’t so deadly.

Larissa Waters Instagram - Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia has found that women are 14 times more likely to die in a natural disaster and account for 80% of people displaced in the aftermath. 

Not only that, women face an increased risk of gendered violence in the aftermath of natural disaster. Climate action is a feminist issue, and we need to treat it as one!

Larissa Waters Instagram - In the last year alone 96% of the 37,392 people experiencing family and domestic violence who requested long term housing were denied access to a home, as overwhelmed homelessness services deal with chronic government underfunding of housing and homelessness services. 

Domestic violence shelters are at breaking point. Frontline services are struggling to find space for women and children escaping violence. 

By choosing not to meet the women’s safety sector’s calls for full funding for frontline family, domestic and sexual violence services, Labor is forcing women to choose between violence and homelessness, because there is nowhere for them to go.
Larissa Waters Instagram - Good to see Government campaigns involving actual experts like Chanel Contos, No to Violence and National Association of Services Against Sexual Violence to design much needed consent education.

Everyone has the right to age-appropriate, evidence-based sexual and consent education. Sexual consent education in schools can help dismantle the persistent rape culture that continues to harm women, and ensure everyone understands that only informed and enthusiastic consent means yes.

How many reviews will it take before Labor stumps up full funding for frontline family, domestic & sexual violence services?

Caption : Great news for Ireland, and much needed here in Australia! We’re in a cost of living crisis, we know people are skipping medications. Making contraceptives free – would make an enormous difference to people’s lives.

Larissa Waters - 589 Likes - The first hearings of the Senate inquiry into peri and menopause start on Monday, where we'll hear from and get to ask questions of experts, academics, health and workplace practitioners, and – most importantly – people with lived experience of perimenopause and menopause. 

I've been blown away by the support from all sides of politics on this issue, as well as from the public, and cannot wait for this inquiry to get underway. And for a dynamite report which we will pressure the Government of the day to implement the recommendations of – because women are worth it!

Larissa Waters - 457 Likes - Calling all UQ students! The UQ Union has called a general meeting tomorrow night the 29th of May at 6pm!

If you are currently enrolled as a UQ student, you will be able to vote on the three questions:

1. Should UQ sever ties with companies that supply the Israeli Defence Force?
2. Should UQ shut down the Boeing centre?
3. Should UQ financially divest from Israel?
A General Meeting is the union’s highest decision making body. If the students at the meeting vote yes to these questions it will become the official position of the UQ Union, but it is absolutely critical that there are 300 students in attendance at the meeting.

This is the student body’s chance to remind the university that their top priority should be accountability to their students. I implore all students to show up, bring your student card and vote YES for justice for Palestine!

Larissa Waters - 440 Likes - The Coalition will never be serious about the climate crisis. Pleasing people in Paris is hardly the issue here, but the Opposition Leader knows that. 

The Liberals' nuclear fantasies are a distraction. Labor has 92 new coal and gas projects in the pipeline, and the 5 new coal and gas projects  approved in the last year. 

The major parties are making the climate crisis worse. People want action on climate change, not more coal, gas and hot air from the climate deniers.

Larissa Waters - 423 Likes - Yesterday the Greens moved that Australia recognise the State of Palestine.

146 countries around the world have taken this step. Norway, Spain and Ireland did so Tuesday night.

But Labor voted against it. Joined by Peter Dutton’s Liberals. 

Even though their own election platform calls on them to recognise Palestinian Statehood.

Everyone of us are judged for the things we say, the way we vote, and the actions we take in this Parliament - especially when thousands upon thousands of lives are at stake.

We will not stop pushing Labor to stop the two-way arms trade with Israel, sanction Netanyahu and his war cabinet, expel the Israeli ambassador, and stop supporting this horrific invasion.

We will not stop until Palestine is free. đŸ‡µđŸ‡¸

Larissa Waters - 297 Likes - This morning I had the honour to speak alongside Zahra and Vashini at a rally to stop Labor's Deportation and Entry Ban Bill.

Labor’s proposed bill is worse than anything we saw under the Morrison government. If passed it will violate our international human rights obligations, rip families apart and whip up racism around the country.

In a country like Australia, we should be proud of multicultural and migrant communities. The Greens will always fight for human rights and for permanent protection for all refugees.

We need Labor to know that racism won't win them votes at the next election. Please make your voice heard and sign the petition in my stories.

This includes their loss of connection to culture, country, loved ones and language. Their losses cannot be measured.

First Nations people are still feeling the devastating impacts of their communities and families being forcibly and violently torn apart and their babies and children being removed. Sadly this is still an everyday experience for many First Nations people.

We need to continue to recognise and honour their grief and loss but we also acknowledge the strength, spirit and rich culture of Elders and First Nations people. Their courage and resilience continues to lead the way.

On the first Sorry Day since the Voice referendum, we invite reflection on Australia's violent history and the silencing of First Nations voices and the discrimination faced by them every day.

If Labor is committed to truth telling, honouring the vicious history of colonisation and the Stolen Generations, then as we move towards Reconciliation Week they need to implement the Makarrata Commission and the recommendations in the Bringing them Home Report.

First Nations people are hurting. Their outcomes are worsening. No more broken promises. We need action.

Here’s me on my very first day of year one at Rainworth State School.

Only 1.3% of public schools receive the bare minimum funding they need from governments. Meanwhile, governments are overfunding 98% of private schools.

The Greens are pushing the Labor government to fund all public schools to 100% of the Schooling Resource Standard at the start of the next school funding agreements in January 2025.

Labor is in government in every mainland state and territory. There is no reason they can’t fully fund our public schools tomorrow and make everyone #ProudToBePublic.

Larissa Waters - 257 Likes - For Queenslanders struggling with the cost of living, 50 cent public transport fares is a big win. But public transport should just be free!

More from @amymacsouthbne đŸ‘‡

The Greens have been calling for free public transport for years - if Labor want to copy our homework, at least do it properly.

The government are still going to be paying millions per year for their privatised ticketing system. They have never published the annual costs, but it’s likely somewhere around $50 million per year. So why not scrap fares completely, save money and cut out a huge hassle for everyone?

At 50c per trip, switching off the fare machines would actually be cheaper for the government.

The Greens will still be pushing for thousands more bus, train and ferry services - like more frequent and reliable bus routes and more CityCat stops! Because 50 cents won’t mean much if you’re still dealing with a public transport network that is slow, infrequent, or stuck in congestion.

And what happens come February? Will we go back to having one of the most expensive public transport systems in the world?

In the next Parliament, the Greens will be pushing to make sure public transport is free permanently.

I’d love to see Labor pick up some of our other ideas to help Queenslanders with the cost of living like freezing rents and making public schools and healthcare genuinely free.

That’s how many fossil fuel projects have been approved since the Albanese Government came to office. 

The International Energy Agency has said no new coal, oil and gas projects can be built in order to reach net zero by 2050. 

But Labor care more about lining the pockets of billionaires like Gina Rinehart and the fossil fuel CEOs.

But Labor care more about lining the pockets of billionaires like Gina Rinehart and the fossil fuel CEOs.

Larissa Waters - 239 Likes - The Budget was the Albanese Government's chance to finally act on the calls from women's safety advocates and experts, and fully fund frontline domestic, family and sexual support services.

Crowing about a $9 billion surplus and continuing to hand out $50 billion in fossil fuel subsidies while refusing to provide $1 billion to properly fund women's safety would be laughable if it weren’t so deadly.

Larissa Waters - 212 Likes - Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia has found that women are 14 times more likely to die in a natural disaster and account for 80% of people displaced in the aftermath. 

Not only that, women face an increased risk of gendered violence in the aftermath of natural disaster. Climate action is a feminist issue, and we need to treat it as one!

Larissa Waters - 212 Likes - In the last year alone 96% of the 37,392 people experiencing family and domestic violence who requested long term housing were denied access to a home, as overwhelmed homelessness services deal with chronic government underfunding of housing and homelessness services. 

Domestic violence shelters are at breaking point. Frontline services are struggling to find space for women and children escaping violence. 

By choosing not to meet the women’s safety sector’s calls for full funding for frontline family, domestic and sexual violence services, Labor is forcing women to choose between violence and homelessness, because there is nowhere for them to go.

Larissa Waters - 205 Likes - Good to see Government campaigns involving actual experts like Chanel Contos, No to Violence and National Association of Services Against Sexual Violence to design much needed consent education.

Everyone has the right to age-appropriate, evidence-based sexual and consent education. Sexual consent education in schools can help dismantle the persistent rape culture that continues to harm women, and ensure everyone understands that only informed and enthusiastic consent means yes.

Larissa Waters - 198 Likes - A review to improve prevention of violence is good, but there's no funding in the Budget for whatever this review recommends. 

How many reviews will it take before Labor stumps up full funding for frontline family, domestic & sexual violence services?
