Greens Wins

GREENS PRESSURE WORKS.

The Greens don’t just talk about change — we deliver it.

We lead the way on major issues, we get Labor to act and stop the Liberals from dragging us backwards.

We’ve already seen Labor take up Greens policies, wiping 20% off student debt, making it free to visit the GP and rolling out 50c public transport fares in Queensland. We’ve secured billions for public housing and clean energy.

Now, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to go even further.

More Greens in parliament means real change.

This election, experts are predicting a minority government, and the Greens are within reach of winning seats across the country.

Last time there was a minority government, we secured dental into Medicare for kids, billions for clean energy, and world-leading climate laws.

With more Greens in parliament, we can expand Medicare to include dental and mental health, get 50c fares nationwide, and wipe all student debt.

All of this is possible. Countries around the world already have things we’re fighting for right now.

Together, we can keep Dutton out and get Labor to go further than they ever would alone.
