Sanction Israel

Today in Parliament, Abigail gave notice of a motion urging the Australian Government to immediately end our ongoing complicity in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Abigail said:

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

(1) That this House notes that:

in March 2025, in the space of ten hours Israeli military forces massacred over 400 Palestinian civilians including at least 150 children in targeted bombings across Gaza, and families and civilians displaced by the genocide ongoing for 18 months, sheltering in evacuation centres, have been further brutalised and destroyed,
since the beginning of March 2025, Israel has maintained a total blockade of Gaza, preventing food, water, power, medical aid and evacuations and with every passing minute, a wounded person in Gaza dying because of a lack of health resources including blood banks and critical medical supplies, according to Al-Shifa Hospital,
the Israeli Prime Minister has stated that Israel's breaking of the first phase of the ceasefire with widespread aerial attacks is "only the beginning", and that "from now on, negotiations will only take place over fire", and
governments and international human rights authorities across the world have called this out for what it is collective punishment and a deliberate campaign to make Gaza uninhabitable and force Palestinians out of their homeland and into displacement.

(2) That this House calls on the Australian Government to immediately end Australia's ongoing complicity in the genocide, forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, by imposing sanctions on the Israeli government and ceasing all military trade between Australia and Israel.

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.
