Canberrans are proud to live in the bush capital, and with Greens in government, we have always prioritised environmental protection as a core concern. In this conversation, I shared our work responding to the biodiversity crisis, protecting our local habitats, building biodiversity corridors and ensuring living infrastructure is a core part of our urban environment. We have made great strides but there is still more work to do – both locally and nationally.

We know speed kills: how about controlling the car instead of the driver? Feat. Andrew Braddock
ACT Greens Podcast
05/14/23 • 3 min
This month, the findings of the ACT Legislative Assembly’s inquiry into dangerous driving were released.
While there was some important media coverage given to many of the inquiry’s recommendations, especially those around the creation of new dangerous driving offences and enhanced police powers, the potential role of intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) technology didn’t get the attention it deserved.

Has COVID-19 made women more insecure at home
ACT Greens Podcast
06/10/21 • 11 min
Ft: Emma Davidson MLA,
In early 2020 I got stuck in New York as the world came to grips with the COVID pandemic. I had been supporting a group of Aboriginal and Pacific First Nations women who went there to tell their story and build relationships internationally, in their work to end violence against First Nations women. Over the month, I watched the city go from business as usual to what looked like the beginning of the apocalypse.

Our community has united in an unprecedented way to make sure that Canberrans in need are supported through challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This is something every Canberran should be proud of.
However, there is still room for growth, particularly when we look at the injustices and unique challenges Canberrans with disability face.
The community has actively engaged and co-designed with the ACT Government over the past few months. Together, we have hosted several roundtables to discuss matters such as the impact that the single-use plastics ban will have on the community.
Collaboration has been critical for the roll out of the ACT COVID-19 Disability Strategy and ACT Disability Justice Strategy.
We know that people with disability, their families, and carers needed additional support following a significantly challenging time. That's why we have supported over 300 Canberrans through the Respite and Recovery Grants, delivering $150,000 to address some of these challenges such as isolation, financial pressures and stress.
Support is responsive to individuals' needs and varies from alleviating financial stress like paying bills, getting help in the garden, reengage with community activities and to purchase technology to support better communication and active engagement with friends and community.
However, this is just one example. We must continue to find ways to support the wellbeing and resilience of people with disability across the community to create a more inclusive and better normal. This can be seen in the work ACT Health has done to make COVID-19 vaccines accessible for people with disability at the Garran Surge Centre.
To get there, we must co-design with people with disability and sector stakeholders.
Unfortunately, we are hearing more instances of how people with disability are being excluded from conversations around programs that support them such as the 1A vaccine rollout in residential care and changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
People with disability and the people that support them have been clear, they want to participate in the decision-making process. These issues impact their everyday living and they must be involved from the start.
To every Canberran with disability; you do have a voice and we will continue working with you in shaping better outcomes for our future. I will be here with you the whole way and will continue to amplify your voices. Your involvement will help create a more inclusive, accessible, and better Canberra.
