Sign our petition. No new coal and gas mining in NSW

Our community deserves a safe climate and affordable, renewable energy.

Disappointingly, the NSW Labor Government has lifted the decade-long ban on gas exploration, opening new areas to drilling and slashing application fees for private mining companies from $50,000 to just $1,000.

This is deeply concerning, and will undermine the urgent action we need to tackle the climate crisis. 

New coal and gas will not deliver cheaper energy any time soon. These projects take years to come online, lock in more pollution, and put our climate targets at risk. We also know public money should not be used to support private mining interests. 

Instead, we should be investing in publicly owned renewable energy to bring down bills, strengthen energy security, and build a more sustainable future.

Sign our petition. NSW Nurses and Midwives deserve fair pay and conditions

Our community deserves a health system where nurses and midwives are valued and provided with safe working conditions so they can provide the care we all rely on.

After years of campaigning, NSW nurses and midwives have secured a long-overdue pay rise of 16–28%.

But it doesn’t go far enough. Even after this increase, NSW nurses and midwives are still paid less than their colleagues in Victoria and Queensland. 

With better pay and conditions on offer interstate, we are continuing to lose nurses and midwives to Victoria and Queensland. The result is chronic understaffing, growing workloads, and a health system under pressure. That affects all of us.

It is deeply disappointing that the NSW Government chose to spend years fighting nurses and midwives in the Industrial Relations Commission, rather than simply paying them what they’re worth.

The NSW Labor Government can fix this in the upcoming budget by delivering fair pay, safer staffing, and better conditions for our incredibly hardworking nurses and midwives.

Please sign our petition below to call on the NSW Government to urgently deliver free public transport during the fuel crisis. 

Our community needs urgent relief from skyrocketing transport costs.

That's why I introduced a motion to NSW Parliament calling on the Labor government to make public transport free during the fuel crisis.  

It was incredibly disappointing to see the NSW Premier say he wouldn't consider making public transport free in NSW at this stage. 

Tasmania and Victoria have made public transport free until May, and we know Queensland already has heavily discounted 50-cent fares. NSW should follow the lead of Tasmania and Victoria and provide free public transport during the fuel crisis. 

People are doing it tough, and this would make a real difference. If more people in metropolitan areas were encouraged to use public transport, it would also free up fuel reserves for the regions. It's a win-win. 

Please add your name to our petition to call on the NSW Labor Government to make public transport free during the fuel crisis. 

Sign our petition: Support a better future for Bays West with more social, affordable and public housing and better infrastruture

There is no doubt that Bays West is where new homes should go - above a metro station, close to jobs, close to services, and supported by infrastructure. But delivering just 10% affordable housing on publicly owned land in the middle of the worst housing crisis in generations is not good enough. 

Before the 2023 election, NSW Labor promised that surplus government land would deliver 30% social, affordable, and universal housing. At Bays West, that commitment has been slashed to just 10%.

This is public land. If we are giving up Sydney Harbour’s last working port for this development, it must deliver genuine public benefit - not become a cash cow for developers or another exclusive waterfront enclave for the wealthy. I'm calling on the NSW Government to deliver at least 30% public, social, and affordable housing at Bays West.  

We also need to ensure the infrastructure is in place to support a growing population. This includes:

• Delivering a new primary school
• Boosting capacity at the local high schools
• Prioritising more public transport
• Expanding walking and cycling infrastructure  

This precinct has faced the brunt of traffic congestion after the opening of the disastrous Rozelle interchange. We cannot afford a repeat. The government must work to minimise car reliance in the Bays Precinct. They also need to consult widely with the community to ensure this new precinct integrates seamlessly with Balmain and Rozelle

And finally, we're pushing them to work with the Unions and local workers to ensure a staged approach to the closure of the Glebe Island Port. Please add your name to our petition to support a more affordable, sustainable vision for the future of Bays West and Glebe Island. 

Sign our petition: Protect Callan Park from privatisation and secure its future for community use

Heritage-listed Callan Park is the jewel of the Inner West. Over the past decade, our community has worked together to revitalise Callan Park and protect it for future generations.

We've made so much progress since 2021. We've secured more than $25 million in public investment to restore buildings, improve public spaces and recover open green space. Community organisations and social enterprises have all put forward proposals to bring the historic Kirkbride precinct back to life in ways that serve the public good.

Disappointingly, the NSW Labor Government has rejected these proposals and is instead proposing to privatise Callan Park. Their proposed changes to the Callan Park (Special Provisions) Act would:

• Allow long-term commercial leases
• Weaken safeguards on public open space and open the door to private development on land that has always belonged to the community.
• Make it harder for not-for-profit organisations to access spaces and easier for private interests to take control of this historic park.

We do not need privatisation to bring Callan Park to life. We need the government to properly invest in its future and back the community organisations and non-for-profits ready to make it thrive.

Callan Park belongs to the community. Please sign our petition to protect Callan Park from privatisation and secure its future for our community. 

Sign our petition to help ban gambling advertising in NSW. 

Children and young people should be able to use their devices without being exposed to harmful gambling advertising.

Disappointingly, both the NSW Labor Government and the Federal Government have refused to take action to ban harmful gambling advertising. 

Australia already has the highest per capita gambling losses of any country in the world, and experts have warned that exposure to gambling advertising fuels riskier betting behaviour. 

South Australia took action to restrict gambling advertising in the state, including black-out periods on television and radio, but Premier Chris Minns is refusing to follow suit. How many more people will develop gambling addictions or face hefty losses before the government acts? 

Please sign our petition calling on the NSW Premier to take action.

Sign our petition below to bring Inner West buses back into public hands

Our community deserves world-class public transport. Run for the public, by the public, that gets you where you want to go, when you want to get there. 

Disappointingly, the Inner West is facing a bus crisis due to the failed privatisation 'experiment' - and we've had enough. The privatisation of our bus network has resulted in more late and cancelled services than ever before.

The current private operator contracts are due to expire in 2026, but the NSW Labor Government is considering extending them until 2028. This is unacceptable. The government must commit to bringing Inner West buses back into public hands.

Sign our petition to the Minister for Transport below, calling on the government to fix our Inner West buses and bring these services back into public hands. 

The right to protest is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of our democracy. Sign our petition to protect the right to protest. 

NSW has a proud history of protest movements that have shaped our society. From the first Mardi Gras parade to the renowned Green Bans protecting green space and heritage across Sydney - much of what we love about living here has been hard-won through protest movements.

Disappointingly, the former Liberal government, with unanimous support from the Labor party introduced draconian anti-protest laws that sought to erode protest rights in NSW and introduce jail time for activists like the Knitting Nannas. The NSW Labor Government has since expanded these undemocratic laws, to further criminalise peaceful protest.

Will you please sign our petition calling on the Labor Government to repeal these anti-protest laws and to protect the right to protest? 

Sign our petition: Tell the NSW Labor Government to deliver social, affordable and key worker homes for Blackwattle Bay

Everyone deserves an affordable place to call home. Unfortunately, across Sydney, the housing affordability crisis continues to worsen, pushing young families and key workers like nurses and teachers out of our community. 

The NSW Labor Government committed to delivering 30% social and affordable housing on surplus government-owned land. It’s deeply disappointing to now see proposals for Blackwattle Bay, at the former fish market site, that would deliver just 7.5% affordable housing.

This once-in-a-generation redevelopment is an ideal opportunity to provide social, affordable and key worker housing in a well-connected area close to jobs, transport and services. Our community deserves a plan that supports diversity and delivers genuine public benefit.

Instead, the current proposal prioritises private development on public land, without delivering the level of affordable housing our community was promised or urgently needs. In the middle of a housing crisis, we cannot afford to miss opportunities like this.

We need more homes that people on low and moderate incomes can actually afford, including for key workers who keep our city running.

Please add your name to help keep the pressure on and ensure public land delivers public benefit.

Please sign our petition below to help tackle the influence of lobbyists in NSW Politics. Together, we can protect our democracy.  

Political decisions should be made in the interests of communities, not for lobbyists working on behalf of vested interests like property developers and the gambling industry.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) recommended significant lobbying reforms in 2021 to help address corruption risks and limit the influence of corporate lobbyists on political decision-makers.

Despite having more than two years to enact changes, the NSW Labor Government has not introduced laws to curb the unreasonable influence of lobbying in NSW. We've seen the impacts of this failure, with community-led planning decisions undermined following corporate lobbying on behalf of private developers.

Influence like this undermines democratic processes and brings into question the integrity of our political system. We need to reform lobbying laws to protect our democracy.

That’s why I’ve introduced the Greens bill to restrict the power of lobbyists in NSW Parliament and to implement the long-overdue ICAC recommendations. You can help keep the pressure on the NSW Labor Government to act by adding your name to the petition below.
