Emma DavidsonFor those who are worried about the Civic Library, I’m at a Greens meeting right now and the Greens MLAs have been asking questions in Estimates about it, and they are suss that it’s going to be closed.Just saying, if I need to chain myself to the doors of Civic Library to ensure it is relocated within Civic rather than shut down, I will do so. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/actpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actpol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/canberra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#canberra</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a>

Ken SFair warning about fire risks in Australia.The only thing I don’t like about the comments here is the focus on fires that had a direct impact on livelihoods.There have been several recent fires that didn’t directly affect communities. But it proved that regions that have never experienced fires for tens and hundreds of years are now at risk. <a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/what-the-hell-is-going-on-top-firefighters-warning-for-australian-cities-after-la-fires/7az9gydpj" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/what-the-hell-is-going-on-top-firefighters-warning-for-australian-cities-after-la-fires/7az9gydpj</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/QldPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QldPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NSWPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSWPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VicPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TasPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TasPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SAPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SAPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WAPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WAPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NTPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NTPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ACTPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ACTPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EmergencyManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EmergencyManagement</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FireFighting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FireFighting</a>

Matthew CullisAfter knifing Lee, Castley is now interested in working with the Greens on resourcing for an integrity commision.

Jude🇵🇸Interesting developments with Tom Emerson sucking up to Andrew Barr, and making a parliamentary agreement with Labor.

Matthew CullisIf Laura actually manages to hold her seat, the Greens should be very proud of themselves.It is so close though, but it is looking like she might actually win the 5th seat.

Emma DavidsonWe had government and community members work collaboratively to step into the gaps created by economic inequity and social isolation during COVID-19, making sure that families could put food on the table, our older people and those with health conditions and carers were less isolated, and making our community a kinder and more compassionate place.Thanks Canberra. It’s been real. Hope to see you around in future.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/actvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actvotes</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/actpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actpol</a> / 🧵

Emma Davidson🧵 This weekend saw the Democracy Reset Button pressed. And when we turned the Assembly off and back on again, I’m not part of it.Over the course of my four years in the Legislative Assembly, I got to be part of some really important changes that only happened because we had six Greens MLAs. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/actvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actvotes</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/actpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actpol</a>

RaymondPierreL3<a href="https://aus.social/@fixatedpersonsunit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fixatedpersonsunit</a> Convenient, clever, smart, devious, whatever label you care to put on it, fact is it works. Not only does it keep Labor in power but it also produces a progressive agenda that keeps most people happy. What’s not to like? (Unless you’re a ‘dry’ or a ‘commie’ - near or at the extreme ends of the political continuum). <a href="https://aus.social/tags/actpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actpol</a>
