In a country as wealthy as Australia, nurses should be able to live within the communities they care for and nobody, regardless of their circumstances, should be forced to live in their car.

But rents have skyrocketed since Labor has been in power, and young people are increasingly giving up on the dream of ever owning a home.

Labor's answer? Less community consultation and more profits for developers.

While developer profits skyrocket, our standard of living plummets.

History has shown us that when people unite and take on the property profiteers together, we can force real, tangible change. The Greens pushed rent caps into law in the ACT, delivered stronger renter protections across NSW, and forced public housing back onto the national agenda.

Whether you rent, have a mortgage or hope to buy, when we come together, we can build a housing system that works for people, not just property developers. One where everyone can afford a roof over their heads, stay connected to their community, and plan for the future.

With your support, we'll cap rents and build shared public wealth through more public housing.

Because a home should be where you build your life, not where a property developer builds their fortune.

Public transport connects us to work, study, healthcare and each other. But in NSW, we pay thousands each year for buses and trains that are unreliable, infrequent and poorly connected.

Labor has had years to fix a broken transport system where people pay too much for a network that does too little. Instead, Labor keeps handing taxpayer-funded contracts to their donor mates while fares rise and services fall short.

Private contractors profit whilst passengers pay the price.

The Greens led the community-wide push for cheaper fares in Queensland and won. 50c fares have saved commuters hundreds of millions of dollars as well as reducing traffic and pollution. We’ll go further in NSW by making buses and trains free across the state.

For the Blue Mountains, we’ll increase freqency on the Blue Mountains Line, meaning more reliable trains, more often. We’ll upgrade bus services too, creating a public transport network that works for you.

Renewables are bringing the cost of energy down. So why are your power bills climbing?

The transition to cheaper renewable energy is happening in a system designed to protect private profits, so the savings aren’t being passed on to you.

Labor could undo the damage they caused when they privatised public energy assets, bring energy infrastructure back into public hands, and make sure lower costs from renewables meant lower bills. Instead, they have approved new coal and gas extraction and allowed pricegouging energy corporations to post record profits while ordinary people pay more each year.

Renewables should cut our costs. But dodgy power companies are hoarding the profits.

The Greens answer to people, not corporations. We’ll return the power grid to the public, drive down prices and pass the savings on, so that the benefits of clean energy flow back to you, not onto big, tax-dodging polluters.

Our public native forests are special places, cherished and cared for over thousands of years, deserving of our protection. Home to koalas, greater gliders, and vital waterways, they give us unique places to walk, ride, camp, and connect with nature, and each other. 

Left standing, healthy, mature forests are our greatest natural defence against climate change and catastrophic bushfires, locking away tonnes of carbon and maintaining moist microclimates that resist fire. 

But Labor and Coalition governments have allowed the Forestry Corporation to keep logging them, even while its hardwood division runs at a $32 million dollar per year loss. And it’s your money.

Instead of using public money to destroy nature, we can help timber workers and towns build a future in plantations, local processing, forest care and tourism.

It is time to end native forest logging.

The Greens will:

• Immediately end native forest logging across all public land in NSW.

• Establish the Great Koala National Park and the Great Southern Forest, connecting 1.2 million hectares of land and turning it into protected wildlife corridors.

• Legislate protections for habitat of endangered wildlife, including koalas, greater gliders, and other native animals

• Deliver a fully funded just transition package for forestry workers, mill staff, and haulage contractors, securing long-term regional jobs.

• Protect 30% of NSW land and water by 2030 by permanently transferring state forests into the protected national park estate and establishing new protected areas across NSW

• Partner with First Nations communities to co-develop forest management and land stewardship through funded ranger and restoration programs.

• Open and upgrade native forests for community recreation, ensuring affordable, accessible spaces for camping, bushwalking, and mountain biking.
