The world must not look away from Palestine

Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion in solidarity with all Palestinians as the genocidal actions of Israel continue amid the current, temporary ceasefire.

Abigail said:

I give notice that on the next sitting day I will move:

(1) That this House notes that:

the world the must not look away from Palestine as the genocidal actions of the Israeli occupation continue despite the current temporary ceasefire, with its continued invasion of the illegally occupied West Bank, continued aerial strikes on central and southern Gaza, and obstruction of urgent aid and temporary shelter for displaced and suffering Palestinians, and
as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians begin returning to their homeland in northern Gaza, they are returning to homes, schools, hospitals and food distribution points that have been systematically and relentlessly destroyed by Israeli forces.

(2) That this House affirms its unequivocal solidarity with all Palestinians, their fundamental right to return to their homeland and the ongoing fight for Palestinian sovereignty and self-determination.

(3) That this House calls on the Federal Government to:

firmly condemn and reject all calls for genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement
of Palestinians, actions which undermine prospects of peace and liberation,
immediately cut all military and economic ties with Israel that enable its ongoing illegal
occupation and crimes against international law, until a permanent and lasting ceasefire is
achieved and all those responsible for war crimes are held accountable under international
law, and
commit to provide urgent and ongoing humanitarian aid to Palestinians, including shelter for
displaced Palestinians, medical aid and food.

PUBLIC ENERGY FOR PUBLIC GOOD - SIGN THE PETITION!

Electricity is an essential service. But Labor and Liberal governments have sold off NSW’s energy assets and infrastructure, leaving us at the mercy of the private sector for our energy needs. The result has been soaring energy bills, with more and more people being forced into energy poverty.

A privatised energy system will never deliver a cheap and clean energy network - It’s time to take the power back.

As we transition to 100% renewable energy, we must learn from the mistakes of privatisation, ensure our energy assets are kept in public hands, and rein in the actions of private operators.

Communities across NSW have for too long been at the mercy of privatised power network operators who continue to put profit above people, acting recklessly and cutting corners without regard for community expectations.

Recent catastrophic power outages in regional NSW have made headlines for just this - in Broken Hill, the state’s only 100% privatised transmission network operator has failed to deliver a safe and secure energy network, leaving communities in the dark because of mismanagement and neglect in the pursuit of profit.

To build our case for bringing electricity back into public ownership, the Greens are calling for a public parliamentary inquiry into all NSW power network operators, their operation and corporate decision-making practices.
