09.11.2025 23:16 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We spend tens of billions of dollars every year on roads in Australia meanwhile we have some of the slowest inter-city trains in the world.
Whatβs in our way? The political will.
All it takes are these Labor governments to come together and decide that we deserve better bang for buck.
There has been no apology, no accountability, and too many people - especially the most vulnerable, have been affected.
That is why the ACT Greens successfully moved a censure motion against the Transport Minister.
Today I moved a motion to censure the Transport Minister over the MyWay+ debacle.
A damning report revealed systemic failures under his watch. The world-class ticketing system that Canberrans were promised quickly fell apart, leaving people frustrated and confused.
In the ACT, Iβm pushing a petition for the territory government to divest from Israel too.
As elected politicians with billions to spend in the annual budget, we must do everything we can to ensure that no funds are supporting Israelβs genocide.
Sign my petition via the link in my bio. (2/2).
This report confirms what we already knew - Israel is hell-bent on wiping out Palestine.
Every government around the world must stop the arms trade and impose sanctions on the Israeli government.
By allowing this deadly trade, Labor is complicit in genocide (1/2).

To Canberraβs multicultural communities - and to communities across the country - you have our full support today and every day. You are welcome, you are valued, and your contributions to our community and to Australia as a whole do not go unnoticed.

These rallies are making a difference. We are dragging Labor to do the right thing because they are getting scared.
Keep turning up to the rallies and join the Nationwide March for Palestine this Saturday.
Recognition won't stop the genocide. It won't give food to those dying of starvation.
Australia must sanction Israel. We must end the two-way arms trade.
Every day that Labor fails to do these things is another day they are supporting a genocide. There is no excuse.
On Saturday, thousands of Canberrans marched across Commonwealth Bridge to call for a Free Palestine.
On Monday, the Prime Minister announced Australia would recognise Palestinian statehood.
One thing is clear: people power works. This is a long overdue move and we have so much more to fight for.
Screens are not turning on, audio announcements are not working, and live tracking is unavailable. MyWay+ is broken.
We need your help - sign the petition through the link in my bio so we can put pressure on the government to finally fix this.
Very disappointing that morning frost delayed Light Rail services today. If cities like Calgary and Ottawa can run light rail in the snow, why canβt we in Canberra? Our community in Yerrabi deserves better #canberra #actgreens

On his passing, I think of Aliβs continued advocacy for the rights of Palestinians to live free from violence and occupation. I think of his criticism of the complicity of governments and the media in the face of the genocide in Gaza.

Over the weekend, we learnt of the passing of Ali Kazak, a proud and staunch Palestinian advocate.
I had the honour of meeting Ali several times. His presence and advocacy in Canberra alone was incredibly inspiring.

Thatβs why Iβm introducing a bill to fix this.
It will ensure records are released within 30 days, and boost transparency, accountability and overall trust in our democratic institutions, which is needed now more than ever.
