Local Issues: Vote Green in Lane Cove to save our run down village!
Posted by: Admin on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - 09:20 PM
Council Elections It is disappointing to see how run down Lane Cove is starting to look. Graffiti is worse, pedestrian alleyways are dark and dirty, shops are closing. Some have been empty for over a year.

Relying on the Market Square development to solve these problems is a lazy solution that is short sighted. Woolworths are already trying to persuade existing shops to move into their development, adding to the empty space outside of their shopping centre. Restrictive leases and predatory pricing will put yet more pressure on our local businesses.

Poverty figures confirm Greens stance on tax - Senator Siewert
Posted by: Admin on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 - 08:40 PM
Elections and Voting The latest figures on poverty in Australia, released today by the Australia Fair Campaign, have confirmed the Australian Greens' view that the recently announced $34 billion in tax cuts cannot be justified.

"The revenue that has been foregone in the tax cuts announced by the Coalition, and then 'me-tooed' by the ALP, should have been spent on social, education and health programs to alleviate increasing poverty in this country," according to Australian Greens Senator Rachel Siewert today.

Climate Institute Report card fails Labor, Coalition as Greens star
Posted by: Admin on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 - 08:30 PM
Greens The Climate Institute report card on the parties' climate change policies shows a stark contrast between the successful Greens (90%) and failed Coalition (23%) and Labor (40%). The environment and climate change tops the economy as a voters' concern in 2007.

"The Climate Institute's methodology is conservative. For example, it overlooks the huge greenhouse gas policies of both big parties in promoting the logging and burning of Tasmania's forests and Gunns' polluting pulp mill which will exude 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Both parties back public monies going to fund these activities," Greens Leader Bob Brown said today.

Federal Elections: Kevin Andrews playing "Ugly Race Politics" - Kerry Nettle
Posted by: Admin on Thursday, October 04, 2007 - 06:38 AM
International Greens Senator Kerry Nettle today called on Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews to overturn his ban on taking African humanitarian refugees, labeling the move 'ugly race politics.'

"It's appalling that the Immigration Minister is cherry picking Australia's humanitarian refugee intake, to discriminate against Africans," Senator Nettle said.

"My question to the Minister is will this ban include white Zimbabwean farmers if they were to apply, or is it just black refugees that Mr Andrews has a concern about?
