In these unprecedented times, the decisions we make now will shape the future of our society.
If the bushfires and the pandemic have shown us anything, it's that business as usual cannot continue.
While the old parties are seeking a return to normal, the ACT Greens will use this moment to redress the inequalities and injustices of our current systems - to build a better normal.
That means bringing the same boldness, decisiveness, and energy we brought to achieving 100% renewable electricity to reimagining our community in a way that benefits everyone for decades to come.
