- Legalise gay marriage (a marriage is a union between two people, regardless of gender)
- Support women's rights
- Improve parental and maternity leave
- Tax the miners (suck it up)
- Improve education
- Introduce fast broadband connection into Australia
- Have a more sympathetic immigration and refugee system (Tony Abbott, you try being on one of those goddamn boats)
- Withdraw from the Afghan war
- More funding for mental health care
- Make voting optional for teenagers (This is important! The Voice of the Young People have the right to vote)
But most importantly, I wish the Australian Government would stop waffling around. I wish they would stop pretending that everything's okay, because it's not. I wish the Australian Government would be more sympathetic towards refugees - after all, they're not just coming to Australia for a change of scenery. I wish Australia would stop saying that we're not sexist and rascist when we are and I just wish that Tony Abbott would go DIE IN A HOLE.
Go Greens!
And you live in a resource-rich state, and the boom.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with your programme, and will probably show you where the Greens are trying.
Who is the Green senator where you are? Now might be the time to write them a letter, or even invite them to dinner.
(Right. Here's the Twitter stream: Twitter stream of Greens senator).
The Greens have a strong policy platform.
And the race-hate law is being enacted for the very first time. There's been squirming around for the past few months.
