Green Left provides not only high standard professional journalism, but also a consistently humanitarian advocacy for justice, locally, nationally, around the globe. Invaluable, indispensable.

Congratulations Green Left for 30 years of forthright, science-informed, humane and truth-telling journalism for eco-socialism, humanity and the environment.

Congratulations to all at Green Left for 30 years of people-powered media speaking truth to power without fear or favour. For a green, left, ecosocialist paper to survive in the increasingly volatile media environment in Australia, now that’s impressive! Thank you GL for all that you do but most of all for not giving up. Never give in, never give up, never back down!
