Greens Wins in Parliament

With the support of millions of you, the Greens are in shared balance of power in the upper house of the Federal Parliament.

With that power, we are pushing the Labor Government to go further and faster on delivering for people and the planet.

Achieving real outcomes for all of us

Here's 10 ways the Greens have delivered on our promise to build a better future for everyone:

  1. Achieved $3 billion of extra funding for public and community housing, on the back of sustained Greens and community pressure.

  2. Won significant improvements to the Safeguard Mechanism, which will now stop roughly half of coal & gas projects in the pipeline and put a hard cap on pollution.

  3. Enshrined the right to disconnect from work out of hours in the National Employment Standards, and helped criminalise wage & super theft.

  8. Made it harder for major new gas projects to proceed by adding billions in extra costs and a water trigger so they can’t sidestep environmental laws.

  9. Delivered a national anti-corruption commission with teeth by ensuring its new independent Inspector can properly oversee and audit the Commission.

  10. Secured changes to the law so that the $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund cannot fund coal & gas or native forest logging projects.

With you by our side, we're showing that a better world is possible.

But there's so much more work to do – and we need to elect more Greens to make it happen.
