Graham Richardson, group managing director at Johnsons, said: "We are incredibly proud to have supplied the plants for such a landmark development in sustainable education. "Our team worked closely with P1 Contractors to ensure every plant was grown, selected, and delivered to meet the specific requirements of this pioneering Passivhaus project.

Albanese urged to ‘speak up' on rising antisemitism in Australia
Former Labor senator Graham Richardson urges Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to 'speak up' on the rise of antisemitism in Australia. 'I think what the Prime Minister can do is use his voice more and I think that's something that the leaders of the Jewish community are seeking,' Mr Richardson said. 'They want him to speak up more often on this question and he probably should. 'The difficulty you've got here is you're always going to have antisemites; they're never going to go away … and your job is to make sure people understand those views are repugnant and you give them reasons why and I just think Albo's got to do a bit more of it.'
