Policies

A vote for the Greens in Moreton is a vote to:

  • increase funding for public education, eliminate ‘league tables’, abolish university fees and forgive HECS-HELP debts;
  • celebrate multiculturalism and promote a culture of compassion and support for refugees and asylum seekers;
  • enhance access to quality health care, housing, income support and support services for elderly, disabled and disadvantaged people;
  • address the housing crisis, including our shortage of affordable rental properties, by implementing progressive planning guidelines;  
  • encourage research into and use of renewable energy sources, reducing our reliance on coal and fossil fuels.

This change is in your hands. This change lies in your vote - your vote for the Greens in Moreton and the Senate.
