Making free public transport permanent would cost a fraction of the price of the North East Link toll road.

We can have free and frequent PT - it's about political choices.

I'm very privledged to be owner-occupying now, but these tools would have been so appreciated just a few years ago.

Investors churning through their tenants, keeping dwellings in disrepair, doing the bare minimum and being rewarded for it has got to stop.

I support #RAHU and I'll never, ever forget how I was treated as a renter.

You deserve a home you can afford.

We need rent controls to stop rents going up faster than your wages.

Free PT is already helping a lot of people avoid spiking petrol prices - but with a lack of services in some areas and issues with overcrowding, the government urgently needs to increase services.

In the medium term, the government also needs a plan to electrify V/Line trains.

Remember - the rental crisis is a political choice. And it doesn’t have to be this way.

It's great to see more people using public transport - but as we said when we initially called for free public transport, the government also needs to increase services, to help address crowding and to reach people who don't currently have PT that meets their needs.

Following Greens pressure, public transport will be free across Victoria in April! When the government feels the political pressure, good things are possible.

The government should use this month to improve PT services, to give people better options for getting around.

Unlimited rent rises mean affordable housing is a huge issue in our community, and people are really doing it tough.

This is a political choice, and it doesn't have to be this way. You deserve a home you can afford.

While fossil fuel prices spike, renewables are driving down the cost of electricity.

No more coal and gas - renewables for all. For cheaper bills, and for our planet.
