The @Greens welcome legal action being brought by @savechildrenaus against the Australian Government for failing to retrieve Australian mothers & children who have been detained in Syrian camps for far too long. #auspoI
@savechildrenaus has described the camp conditions as ‘the worst place in the world to be a child’. Labor have had over a year and still 40 are suffering there. #auspol
It is a disgrace that both parties of government have failed these Australian citizens over the years. It's wonderful to see @savechildrenaus taking this action and the @Greens will support them every step of the way. #auspol

The Albanese Govt stumbled into victory last year on the promise they’d leave no one behind. Not a year into government, their budget tonight shows how quickly they’ll betray their roots and the millions desperate for help. A quick breakdown of #Budget2023: (🧵)
DISABILITY🦽 $74.3b ripped from the NDIS over the next 10 years is *unconscionable* when people still so often aren't getting the funding they need in their plans. No funding for Royal Commission implementation, either. Shame, shame, shame.
HEALTH 🩺 No dental into Medicare. No reinstatement of the life-saving better access scheme. Good to see opioid dependency funding (a Greens win!), and $3.5b into tripling Medicare rebates for young families, older folks and concession holders, but what about everyone else??

“I’ve just been put in this prison. I’ve lost my bloody life.” That’s Dan who, because the state ruled him incapable of looking after himself and he doesn’t have loved ones to step in, lives his life under the control of the WA Public Trustee/Advocate (🧵) abc.net.au/news/2023-03-2…
It’s unlikely many of you would be familiar with the public guardianship system; maybe your only touchstone with it is Britney Spears' experience. Essentially, it’s when you’re placed under an order that appoints a public official to make lifestyle and medical decisions for you.
People rightly assume this system works in their best interest – that is, after all, its purpose. But my office has been recently contacted by an alarming number of constituents concerned about the conduct of the Public Trustee.

Last election, Australians emphatically voted for change. But #Budget2022 – the first budget from the Albanese Government – gives us more of the same old shit that fails to address the issues that matter the most. Here’s a bit of a breakdown: (🧵)
TAX CUTS ✂️ Labor had a choice: deliver tax cuts for the rich or immediate cost of living relief for the rest of us. They know wages will go backwards and flatline, and unemployment, rent and bills will all rise, and they still gave billionaires and politicians a $9k/yr tax cut.
HOUSING 🏠 One million homes? Hardly. Labor’s big new budget announcement only funds 10,000 new homes, with the mere *hope* that private developers will essentially build the rest 🙄

This budget was an opportunity for Labor to put their money where their mouth is. Unfortunately they’ve done anything but... #auspol

What we all wanted vs what we all got, a thread:
We wanted: to scrap the stage 3 tax cuts!

We got: the opposite! Labor have recommitted to progressing these tax cuts in full 🙄 #auspol
We wanted: fully free mental health services through medicare, so you can access the support you want whenever and however you’d like to access it.

We got: NO plans to make it easier to see a counsellor, therapist, or psychologist, leaving behind too many seeking help #auspol

I want to talk about something unglamorous but super important: the disability support pension. For many, it’s below the minimum wage and the poverty line. It’s hard to make ends meet, esp as the cost of living soars. That’s if you’re lucky – so many folks can’t access it at all.
In a country as wealthy as Australia, that’s outrageous. We have the resources to ensure everyone can cover their basic essential needs. So if you’re going without, make no mistake: it’s because the government has decided they’re happy to let you fall through the cracks.
I’m so proud that this week the @Greens launched our liveable income guarantee, which includes raising all income support payments to $88 a day. For DSP recipients, it means being up to $172/wk better off. It means not having to choose between food, rent and medical bills.

We're back in #NDIS #estimates now and I'm asking questions about transparency and consultation around the Morrison government's proposed changes to our NDIS.

How has the weighting for the questions in each #IndependentAssessments tool been assigned? #ausPol
None of this data in quarterly report.
There is a timeline suggesting this proposal will be introduced in August this year - we need this information before that time.

They've taken that on notice #AusPol #NDIS #Estimates
