What's $73m between mates? We’re still waiting for answers from the government on Walker corporation’s monstrosity of a building in Festival Plaza. And now we find out that the ATO is moving in because their office (opened in 2012) is too old.. Everyone wins (except you).

A home is allowed to just be a home. Fixing Australia’s housing crisis requires a huge investment in directly building public and social housing. Build public housing. Thanks @wilstracke.bsky.social for coming and giving evidence to the Senate Inquiry on intergenerational housing inequality!

This government is taking tiny steps in a race against a public and social housing waiting list running at full pace. Build public housing.

Three headlines from major newspapers published on the same day. The picture is clear - there are groups with vested interests in the existence of the housing crisis. But homes are for people, not profit.

Domain data:

Should Labor terminate its $1.3m contract with KPMG. to train public sector leaders in ethics? Hmmmm

Investors with seven or more properties are claiming billions in tax handouts while the average Australian struggles with secure housing, rents and mortgages.

KPMG show us who they are - despite PwC’s masterclass in how not to behave & coverup. Labor has failed to act & this is now on them: to end Big 4 special treatment – on tax, reporting, liability, whistleblowing. Get unethical greed out of govt contracting. Time to break them up.

Labor & Coalition dud young workers millions of super $$ while lining the pockets of big corps like Coles & Kmart. We can fix this - & we should. @MikeSeccombe in @SatPaper

Thankyou @4corners tonight. Toxic algae. A government too slow, minimising risk. Delaying release of critical information. A fail by the Malinauskas government. Thanks to the locals, the scientists, the surfers for monitoring, reporting, questioning and going on the public record.

Labor: the govt for house price increases. And first home buyer despair. In every city.

Labor delivers real wage fall alongside housing price spike. Rents thro the roof. 🏠 prices at record levels, delivered by the Ministry for House Price Increases. Disaster for so many super-stressed households. Despair for so many young people.

IMF joins the long line of economists saying Labor’s 5% 🏠 deposit scheme is pouring fuel on the housing crisis bonfire. A 3.6% increase in price of eligible homes below the cap in the last 3 months of 2025. A disaster.

Looks to me like the SA government has leased prime public land to Walker Corp at $1/yr for 100 years. Despite many requests, Labor refuses to hand over the figures on its dealings with Walker Corp, talking ‘commercial in confidence’. What does Labor not want us to know?

Israeli President Isaac Herzog isn’t welcome in Australia. The Greens stand with those peacefully protesting as we demand sanctions on Israel & an end to the two way arms trade. We join our voices with the millions who call for an end to genocide and justice for Palestine.

Last night at ANU talking work, time, women & sanity with this fab crew: Annabelle Crabb, Padma Raman, Lyndall Strazdins, Michelle Ryan ⏰. The revolution in women & carers entry to paid work has not been met with the necessary revolution in its terms. 💥It’s time!!💥

A massive increase in 75+ year olds living in rental stress. More are renting, & for longer, in a housing crisis where rents are thro the roof.

Incredible that Labor is selling out SA by putting Woodside Barracks on the privatisation chopping block. 145 hectares of prime public land in our precious Adelaide Hills. Where are their priorities for public housing? For public amenities? Shame on you Labor. All wrong.

Congratulations to His Holiness the Dalai Lama on winning a Grammy for his audiobook Meditations. At 90, His Holiness’s lifelong devotion to peace & compassion continues to inspire the world. Not just an award, but a global celebration of the “oneness of humanity” His Holiness has always championed.

"When you consider that some people are now spending as much as 50 per cent of their salary just on keeping a roof over their heads, it’s little wonder they’re feeling overwhelmed." 👉 www.theage.com.au/money/saving...

Shame on you Labor. More $$$ on investor tax breaks for the wealthy than on - combined - social housing, rent subsidies and homelessness. Who ARE you?

Thinking of all the school kids, farmers, townsfolk and animals in my hometown of Lameroo in SA’s mallee yesterday: 44.6 degrees. Too damn hot. 🔥

The Greens are deeply concerned about CSIRO’s funding following successive cuts. We must do all we can to save the CSIRO. Science matters & it must be sufficiently resourced with public funds, to ensure science & research is independent and free of commercialisation. www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

Labor has teamed up with the Liberals with a last minute deal to pass dangerous new laws limiting speech and political expression. The Greens condemn the major parties for rushing through these laws that will have real impacts on people trying to speak out for human rights and against genocide.

Bushfires are terrifying and the ones we have already seen across Victoria and Adelaide have caused so much devastation. We can't let this become our normal, we need to act on climate induced disasters and slow the acceleration caused by coal and gas operations.

“It is the letter that the premier sent on January 2 to then-Adelaide Festival board chair Tracey Whiting that is shaping as key to the entire Writers’ Week saga.”

The Greens are again urging the Malinauskas Government to investigate these claims of political interference. The allegations that public servants have been told to stall investigations into the toxic algal bloom in order to protect the political interests of Labor are shocking.

Artists & citizens standing up against racism, political interference & censorship works. Pressure works. We owe great thanks to readers, writers & leaders of Writers Week 2026. I hope a turning point in the racist pile on we have witnessed. We await the Premier’s apology.

With a budget surplus of $273 million how can the Malinauskas government be serious about not funding critical support services in the face of a growing crisis? How about taxing big corporations to invest in the housing we need so badly?
