Buddy & I are saying Nup to the Cup! 🚫🏆 We waste billions in public money on horse & greyhound racing every year, for infrastructure & prize money. Imagine if that money was going to schools & housing? On top of the billions lost by people experiencing harm from gambling.

Today, parliament has decided that I’ll be banned from Parliament tomorrow, because I dared to try & make the gas corps & the big banks fund cost-of-living relief for Qlders. I was elected to get in here & fight tooth & nail for everyday Qlders & that’s exactly what I’ve done.

Greens MP Amy MacMahon introduced a bill into Qld parliament last year that would enact a two-year cap on residential rent increases. After the two-year period, rent increases would be limited to 2% every two years. Qld’s housing minister described the proposal as “extremist”

The @QldGreens have been pushing solutions to put more money into essential services & the pockets of Qlders & a little less in the pockets of the CEOs. Fighting for a rent freeze. Taxing gas corps. Taxing the banks. Taxing investors unless they to rent out their empty homes.

Unbelievable to see the gov throw cash at the arms industry as we see the shocking impacts of following the US into conflict in Afghanistan. For $90B we could fully fund state schools, provide universal housing & make healthcare free, with cash left over

The bank levy could have raised $2.5 billion dollars for Qlds struggling hospitals. The Empty Homes levy could have brought thousands of homes back into the rental market when renters need them most.

Qld Labor knows better than everyone there’s around 500,000 kids at state schools in Qld. And that Foodbank’s Rumble Tummies Report revealed that in 2020 1 in 5 kids went to school without breakfast. That’s around 100,000 kids in Qld state schools going to school hungry.

Today I gave my first speech! We could use Qld’s immense wealth for the benefit of all Qlders - we could have free school lunches, 100% publicly-owned clean energy, homes for all, free schools and thousands of new jobs.
