Sustainability Party of Australia

Expressions of interest are sought for a new political party. For the moment it will be called the sustainability party.

The party will focus on two general areas which tend to get ignored in mainstream politics:
long term sustainability of our society
using revenue raising tools (taxes) to correct market failures

What can I say but yes yes YES !!

Not a bad idea - though they'll have a tough time reaching consensus on what level of action is taken against industries... I'd be worried if they agreed too quickly.

Ludwig, if you are interested please send me your email addy, and what state you are from, via PM on OzPolitic or email

I have added a policy on the dodgy first home owner scheme

Well it has beaten me freediver. How to contact you via Oz politic, that is.

Can you provide more info. Thanks.

I had a look at the proposed policies.
Some good but you lost me on the immeadiate adoption of the Kyoto
protocol. If Howard got one thing right, it was to not get sucked into
a failed traety.
There is no point in joining it until countries like China agree to it
and implement it.

All it would do is criple the Australian economy and rob us of the
funds needed to rebuild a sustainable transport system.
