FICTION: The Greens only have policies on environmental issues.
FACT: The Greens have a complete sent of policies on health, education, the economy, aslyum seekers and much more.
KEY POINTS:
- The full range of Green policies can be found at http://greens.org.au/policies
- The Greens are the only parliamentary political party with their policies available online all the time.
- The Greens have used their shared balance-of-power position to deliver fairer workplace laws, more money for pensioners and public health and protection of youth allowance payments for gap-year students, just to name a few.
- The Greens hold the balance of power outright in the ACT and Tasmania, and Green MPs in these states use thier position in responsible, constructive and innovative ways, and have responsibilities in policy areas outside of the environment. For example, Tasmanian Greens leader Nick McKim is the Minister for Consumer Protection.
