We are only a year into the Albanese government but it’s never too early to be prepared I suppose – the Greens have announced their candidate for Richmond at the next election –Mandy Nolan.
The comedian has announced she will challenge Labor’s Justine Elliott for the northern NSW seat, with Nolan only needing a 1.8% swing to win the seat. The Greens plan on using the same strategy they deployed to great success in Brisbane to win – doorknocking. Often and early.
At the last election people were desperate to kick out the Liberals, but now they’re realising Labor also wants new coal and gas, which makes the climate crisis worse, as well as billions in handouts for property moguls, which pushes up rents and house prices. Labor has no plan whatsoever to help renters and Labor’s housing bill sees the crisis get worse.
Mandy’s already got a team of volunteers ready to hit the streets and talk to Richmond residents about how the Greens are the only party fighting for renters and climate action.”
The Finance and Public Administration Committee (which includes department of parliamentary services and prime minister and cabinet).
The Legal and Constitutional Affairs committee, where it will be the Department of Home Affairs show.
The Environment and Communications committee will hear from the climate change and energy department as well as environment and water. (So power prices will dominate this one).
