There is a real choice at this election

In relation to our article Where is the real choice when it comes to the election?

Contrary to Barb Dadd’s pessimism, I believe there is a real choice at the coming federal election and that is the Australian Greens. The Greens have policies which address all the issues that concern the author and I encourage your readers to check the Australian Greens website for a thorough summary of Greens’ policies.

The Greens have been criticised by many commentators for blocking Labor-initiated legislation in the Parliament, but in all cases they have been trying to improve that legislation so that it is more effective and delivers greater benefits to the community as a whole and particularly to those struggling with housing affordability.

The Greens have also tried to strengthen the national environmental laws so that they really do deliver positive outcomes for the environment, and they have the strongest policies on transitioning to a carbon-free economy. And the Greens are the only Party to reject the AUKUS arrangement on the grounds of threats to sovereignty, issues with nuclear waste and the absolute waste of precious financial resources at a time when so much is needed to address other issues.
