Greens offer stable leadership, climate change action
“A strong safe crossbench in the Senate” – Brown
“I offer the electorate experienced and stable leadership, and the
progressive policies and clear vision for Australia’s future which the
big parties are ignoring,” Australian Greens Leader Senator Brown said
in Canberra today.
“Moving forward will mean a carbon tax on polluters; bringing home
safely Australia’s troops from Afghanistan; a universal dental care
scheme; humane treatment of asylum seekers in Australia; protecting our
forests and wildlife.”
“This election is also about the Senate and a strong crossbench
delivering better outcomes for Australians. The Greens are the
responsible alternative to a deadlocked Abbott controlled Senate.”
“The Greens will campaign strongly on environmental issues including
climate change action, the creation of marine national parks, protecting
native forests and wildlife and saving the Darling Downs farmlands from
40,000 coal seam gas drill holes and open cut coalmines,” Senator Brown
said.
Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown flew to Canberra from Sydney this
morning to get the Greens’ national campaign off to a flying start.
Senator Brown, who spoke last night to a packed campaign dinner in
Sydney for Senate candidate Lee Rhiannon MLC, will be in Canberra and
Hobart on Sunday, and Adelaide on Tuesday morning.
