Beliefs

**//"...for a brighter future"//**

**Our beliefs**:



//Ecological sustainability//
 * Taking care of our earth - reserving our most precious resources
 * The future of Australia can still be bright and prosperous if we base our economy on green principles, rather than short-term self-interest

//Social justice//
 * The social problems we are facing today (crime, discrimination, disease, poverty) could all be dramatically improved if we focus on eliminating inequality in Australia, and the world
 * The Greens believe it is the priority of all governments to alleviate poverty and to extend opportunities to all members of the society

//Peace and non-violence//
 * Australia's foreign policy should not be based on aggression. If we try preventing counter violence with violence itself, it will not work.
 * The Greens believe in peaceful and non-violent solutions locally, nationally, and internationally.
