Greens policies all on the web

The Greens NSW polices for the state election are now publicly available on the NSW Greens website.

After a wide-ranging process involving Greens members across NSW, we have finalised our polices, ready to start serious campaigning in early 2007.

Our polices are comprehensive and put paid to the myth that we are only an environment party. With 53 separate policies, we cover the complete range of community concerns, from industrial relations, health, education and justice through to energy and climate change, forests and wilderness and water.

We are proud of the policies and believe that they lay a framework for the campaign and beyond.

They express our commitment to a state that responds to the challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, providing quality public education, health and transport and securing the natural environment.

We are leading the debate on ending corporate donations to political parties and reforming the laws that are allowing developers to run rough shod over communities.

The democratic involvement of members in policy formulation differentiates the Greens from the major parties.

Members discuss policies in their local groups, special issue based working groups and at state-wide party conferences.

We are proud of the extensive involvement our members have in identifying and drafting policies.

It is this comprehensive involvement of our members that gives our polices their leading edge.
