Take ACTION to Unf #*k Student Housing!

Student housing in the ACT isn't working. Insufficient accommodation, unsafe and unclean units, and unfair rents.

ow that we’ve named the problem, the next step is clear: we act — together. Because change doesn’t come from waiting politely. It comes from people organising in a way that governments can’t ignore.

Together, we can fix student housing. We can push for fairer rents, better conditions, and a system that actually supports students instead of draining them.

Join us at Badger & Co in Civic on Thursday 30 April to take the next step in standing up for student rights and fit-for-purpose accommodation!

These moments capture a career dedicated to making a difference for the people of Canberra and beyond- with integrity, passion, and purpose.

While this chapter comes to a close, the legacy built will continue to shape our city for years to come.

Thank you for everything Shane. 💚

As a true trailblazer, Shane has spent nearly two decades changing Canberra for the better. From the crossbench to the Cabinet, his leadership has defined an era of unprecedented success for the Greens in government. Today, we thank him for his service and tireless advocacy for our community.

Labor has forced the only north-side Aboriginal health service in Canberra to shut its doors today, cutting off services for a community already less likely to get care.

If Labor were serious about First Nations justice, they would fund First Nations-led health services, now.

Canberra, this is your time to show up, make noise, stand in solidarity with Canberra’s First Nations community and in unity, force Labor fund this service.
