#VictorianGreens: “This week we have seen disgraceful political rhetoric around #WelcomeToCountry, and the treatment of #UncleMarkBrown at Monday’s #ANZACDay dawn service was incredibly distressing.
This should not be happening. We send our #support and #solidarity to all #FirstNations people in our movement and beyond who have been impacted and recommit to fighting for respect, truth, and the recognition that First Nations people deserve.”

Victorian Greens MP Sam Hibbins stepping down from party after engaging in relationship with staffer
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-01/victoria-greens-mp-prahran-sam-hibbins-steps-down-relationship/104548724Gotta say, I'm surprised at Sam Hibbins for having an affair with a staffer. It's inappropriate behaviour, and it's the right thing for him to resign. He's been a star for the Greens, and good for the seat of Prahran for a decade.

I'm over the Greens. They've known about the problem of transphobes/TERFs in their ranks for years.
When it blew-up about a year ago with Rohan Leppert, all they did was give him a slap in the wrist, and do nothing of substance. At the time, I called-out Rohan Leppert and David Zyngier on Twitter, and was contacted in private by a prominent Greens member — initially gave me some blowback, then made concerned-sounding noises and said the Greens are doing all they can, trust the party's internal process, and so on. That, in the end, amounted to little more than a placatory public statement.
The "Docklands Declaration" is packed with dog-whistles and signed by a bunch of nodding yes-men and willing fools. To make matters worse, Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam hasn't responded.
Talk is cheap; judge them by their actions.
Greens’ Docklands Declaration short on declaring

CW: Several Problems Press: "Contending views" — CW for linked article: alleged sexual assault mention, transmisogyny, transphobia
Here's a piece of mine which I wrote as a Twitter thread in July, and which I republished as an article today on my website, SeveralProblems.press. It concerns "Contending Views," a paper circulated within the Australian Greens Victoria ahead of their January 2019 State Council, which made a distinctly unpleasant name within the AGV for its authors, Linda Gale and Nina Vallins, and foreshadowed what was to lie ahead.

CW: Important Australian/Victorian state politics exposé, please circulate — CW transphobia
An intermediary who I trust has just directed me to https://terfsupper.com/
The website consists of a single article describing an unpublicised 4 October 2022 gathering at the Naughtons Parkville Hotel in inner Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its central allegation, which appears to be substantiated by images provided by the authors, is that attendees at the gathering consisted of influential Australian anti-trans activists including:
— Oliver "Ollie" Hassett né Davies, radicalised detrans activist affiliated (formerly?) with anti-trans hate group #Genspect;
— Genevieve Hassett, opponent of the "woke trans ideology," and Ollie's partner;
— Angie Jones, conspiracy theorist focused on Big Pharma and "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" (ROGD), host of TERF TALK DOWN UNDER;
— Jasmine Sussex, anti-trans microcelebrity, guest on TERF TALK DOWN UNDER;
— Jessica Williams, anti-trans writer affiliated with Single Sex Prisons WA;
— Rachael Wong, chief executive officer of Women's Forum Australia, an anti-abortion, anti-trans lobby group most of whose publicly named executives are closely linked to the Catholic Church;
and, perhaps more importantly, two senior officers of the Australian Greens Victoria (AGV):
— Linda Gale, a member of the AGV State Executive, who was previously Convenor de facto until her removal for having been illegitimately elected;
— Rohan Leppert, an AGV-endorsed member of the Melbourne City Council.
While Gale and Leppert have previously expressed views which either unambiguously are or could be reasonably interpreted as anti-trans, this is to my knowledge the first published allegation of anything on their part that ventures beyond the realm of simply hanging out with transphobic people and saying transphobic things, and into the realm of organised anti-trans conspiracy and collusion.
Most of the claims in the article are independently verifiable using information in the public domain. To the best of my ability to determine, they are indeed true. The article contains significant further sourcing and proposed actions; I strongly encourage making the time to read it.
