Labor is persisting with their plan to destroy Victoria’s public housing, starting relocation processes for vulnerable residents in Albert Park. www.instagram.com/p/DbHkRBDv-8F/

Jacinta Allan is completely out of touch on gun safety. After previously caving to their gun lobby donors and rejecting caps on gun ownership despite expert advice, Labor is creating a government agency that can promote shooting to children. It beggars belief.

Headline reads "New Victorian agency Outdoor Recreation Victoria to encourage kids as young as 12 to take up shooting"

The Greens' plan to make housing affordable. Because you deserve a home you can afford.

1. Tax the ultra-wealthy property investors
We’ll bring down the cost of buying a home by taxing ultra-wealthy property investors with more than $5 million worth of residential investment properties and use that money to cut stamp duty for ordinary Victorians.

2. Cut stamp duty

Stamp duty is a huge upfront cost that makes it harder to buy, move or downsize.

We'll abolish stamp duty for homes under $1.1 million, and discount it up to $1.6m.

This only applies to homes that people buy to live in, not investment properties.

3. Build, don't demolish, public housing

We’ll more than double the number of public homes by building 88,000 new homes, and maintain & upgrade exisiting public housing.

4. Cap rents

We’ll freeze rents for two years, and ban rent increases in the first two years of every new tenancy.

Then we’ll cap rent increases so they can’t go up faster than wages (or inflation, whichever is lowest).

Katherine Copsey@katcopseygreens· Jul 9

If you're buying a home, stamp duty is a big cost right when you can least afford it The Greens want to cut stamp duty on people's homes - no stamp duty for homes valued up to $1.1 million and a discount up to $1.6 million Because you deserve a home you can afford www.instagram.com/p/Daj4V0kBpz_/

Help us call for a moratorium on new data centres in Victoria - sign the petition here: katherinecopsey.org.au/issue/stop-t... 🧵 (3/4)

Text reads "So what happens next?
No one knows."
Image shows the data centre character with binoculars over its eyes, looking at the viewer.

Text reads "But we know it can't be good.
That's why we want to halt the roll out of new AI data centre projects in Victoria until we can be sure."

There are already 21 Very Hungry Data Centres proposed in our communities and the government doesn’t even know the full extent of the risks. 🧵 (2/4)

Text reading "On Wednesday he ate 169 hectares of land put aside for thousands of new homes."
Image shows three green flower shapes, with circles out of the middle.

Text reading "On Thursday he ate 852 diesel back-up generators.
The fumes gave his neighbours asthma."
Images show four brown-black spiky clouds, with circles out of their middles.

Text reading "On Friday he spat out one assertive, but professional, email, one picture of what you'd look like with bangs, and one fruit drama with Broc and Strawbellina."
Image shows five strawberries.

Text reading "Now he wasn't a little data centre any more. He was a great, big data centre.
With ASIO Zone 3 security...for some reason."
Image shows the data centre character as much bigger and with a tough look on its face. It is behind a fence topped with razor wire, and there is a spotlight.

Gather round for the story of the Very Hungry Data Centre... 🧵 (1/4) #datacentre #ai

A parody of the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Text reads "The Very Hungry Data Centre" and the image shows a large black-and-brown shape, like a rounded rectangle with the top divided into three 'towers', with a smiling face reminiscent of the Very Hungry Caterpillar in the middle - red with yellow and green eyes.

Text reads "One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! - out of nowhere came a very hungry data centre."

Image shows the VHDC on brown ground with the orange sun rising.

Text reads "On Monday he drank a quarter of the city's annual drinking water."
Image shows a blue shape, with a circle cut out of the middle, reminiscent of the foods with circles cut out in the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Text reads "On Tuesday he ate so much that he doubled demand on the country's power-grid.
So he opened a new gas plant, just for him."
Image shows two yellow spiky shapes representing electricity, also with circles cut out of them.

This #NAIDOCWeek celebrates #50YearsOfDeadly. We look back at decades of First Nations resistance, the great progress Victoria's Treaty represents - and all the work that's left to do. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land. Find local NAIDOC events here: www.naidoc.org.au/local-events...

Katherine Copsey MP holding the 2026 NAIDOC Week poster, which features the artwork Paralpi by Zaachariaha Fielding.

Bus route 246 is an important north-south link along Punt Rd & Hoddle St, but buses are often full & regularly delayed by traffic. The govt should treat this route as the major mass transit corridor that it is, and provide priority measures and increased frequencies www.instagram.com/reel/DaRvYMf...

The video at the Instagram link shows Katherine Copsey MP speaking in the Victorian Parliament about the Route 246 bus.

Great to be out in Prahran again today (despite the rain!) talking to the community about defending and doubling public housing, free and frequent public transport, and protecting our climate!

Defend and double public housing - so everyone has a safe and affordable place to call home.

Katherine Copsey@katcopseygreens· Jun 26

With another sitting block done it was great to get out for some community conversations again in Prahran! Thanks to everyone who took time to have a chat with us 🌞

Katherine Copsey@katcopseygreens· Jun 23

The test of this bill is whether it strengthens independent regulation, protects biodiversity, respects Traditional Owner leadership, safeguards the quiet enjoyment of public land and gives the public a genuine seat at the table. On every one of those tests, this bill fails.

Great to be out in Prahran last week, talking with the community about the issues that matter most to them. Thank you to everyone who took time to chat with us!

Around the world, massive data centres are driving up electricity bills and emissions - we can't repeat those mistakes here in Victoria #AI #datacentres

Jacinta Allan's decision to reject a cap on firearm ownership is a total capitulation to the gun lobby. A cap is a common-sense public safety measure, and Victorians are entitled to ask why anyone needs dozens, or even hundreds, of guns. www.instagram.com/p/DZJ2UpiPXXp/

The video in the link shows Katherine Copsey MP speaking in the Victorian Parliament about the need for gun ownership caps.

Today is World Bicycle Day! All levels of government should be supporting people with safe, protected bike infrastructure, giving us real choices to drive less - saving us money on petrol and reducing carbon emissions.

Katherine Copsey@katcopseygreens· Jun 1

When the Greens first called for free PT in April, we said the govt should use that month to fix PT services, so everyone could access it - and give ppl more options with safe bike lanes Two months on, Labor have failed to meet the moment - and now they've taken away free PT too

Running trains more frequently, and reforming our bus network, would make it so much easier for people to get around - less waiting, and less dependence on expensive petrol cars.

Today is National Sorry Day, marking the release of the Bringing them Home report 29 years ago. Sorry without action is not enough. A generation on from this historic report, just five of its 83 recommendations have been implemented.

White text reads "Stolen Generations survivors are getting older and we're running out of time to deliver justice.

Labor has just approved the biggest gas project of the last decade, right near the Twelve Apostles - locking Victorians into more expensive gas, meaning higher bills and more damage to our climate. We need to end our dependence on gas and switch to clean, cheap renewables.

Katherine Copsey@katcopseygreens· May 14

Labor continues to put corporate interests ahead of our community and the environment. They keep failing to make the gas giants pay their fair share, while approving polluting new gas projects. The Greens want to tax the gas giants to fund the things we all need. www.instagram.com/p/DYTgWgZvZAc/
