Wakeley Church Incident

Ms Cate Faehrmann: On behalf of The Greens I support the motion because we endorse the response of the paramedics and police on that night. It was a difficult night. But I put on the record the response of the Muslim community following this event. They have been concerned about the...

Native Forest Logging

Ms Cate Faehrmann: I support this motion moved by my colleague Ms Sue Higginson, who has been an incredible forest campaigner for many years.
