Our leaders set the tone for our democracy. When politics turns toxic, division grows. We need leaders who practice polite politics and engage in productive debate because we all deserve better.

Despite our government calling it a technology sharing agreement, AUKUS ties us to US foreign policy for decades, and to a degree to US domestic policy.
Finding a way out of AUKUS is essential. Difficult, but essential.

Up till now both major political parties have “combined” to convince the electorate that a vote for a minor party, or even worse an independent, was a wasted vote. The two-party “duopoly” has been protecting each other’s interest against the interests of the Australian electorate.

When will the major parties act in the communities interests. Never?
We are destroying Nature - the very thing that sustains us. If we truly love this place we should look after it, pass laws to protect it and make decisions like we’re here for a long time.
