For too long the old political parties have let ultra rich corporations rip us off. We’re not talking about the fish and chip shop down the street, or your uncle’s landscaping business. We’re talking about the wealthiest businesses in the country: The big four banks, the coal and gas giants, and the gambling industry. Together, they raked in more than 50 billion dollars in pure profit in the last year.��Meanwhile, your mortgage and bills go up, and food banks are turning people away because demand is so high. We can’t let this continue. If we raise taxes on the big banks, the coal and gas giants, and the gambling industry, we could raise $5 billion dollars a year to fund the services the rest of us need. We’d put that money back into the community to fund 🚃 Permanently frequent and free public transport.�🏠 Building more public and affordable housing.�🧾 And lower energy bills, powered by renewable energy.
We would like to thank the hundreds of Tarneit residents who had wonderful discussions with us during our Tarneit Public Transport Campaign flyer distribution at Tarneit Station Tuesday morning and the evening.
Your support, feedback, and shared concerns about public transport in Tarneit clearly show the urgent need for better services and infrastructure for our growing community. Together, we will continue advocating for real investment and lasting change for Tarneit and the West. Join the Tarneit PT Campaign: greens.org.au/vic/campaigns/better-public-transport-tarneit

Great to be out at Tarneit Station this morning speaking with local residents about the ongoing public transport challenges facing our growing community. 🚆🚌
Thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat and shared their experiences around congestion, unreliable buses, and poor transport connections in the West.
We were pleased to be joined by @Anasina Gray-Barberio, Northern Metro Greens MP, together with Rifai and our dedicated local supporters.
Tarneit deserves better public transport — fast, frequent and properly connected services for workers, students, families and commuters.

Your party has contributed to the neglect in the west by propping up labor over and over
God help us when the Muslims take over
Today's Community Meetup was a great success, bringing together passionate local residents who care deeply about the future of Tarneit and the West.
Thank you to everyone who shared your concerns, ideas, and vision for a better community. Your support and encouragement for the Greens Tarneit Campaign means a lot and strengthens our commitment to fight for the issues that matter most better transport, health services, education, roads, and a fairer future for all.
Real change happens when communities come together. This is only the beginning.
Together, we will continue building a stronger, more inclusive, and better connected Tarneit.
Thank you once again for your support.
