Politics with integrity: why the Greens are different

All Greens Councillors are committed to The Greens values of ecological sustainability, grassroots democracy, social justice, and peace and nonviolence, but Greens Councillors are accountable to our local communities. We are bound by The Greens’ constitution to vote in the best interests of the community we are elected to represent, not a faceless party machine.
We don’t do deals, we don’t make decisions behind closed doors, and we won’t make promises we can’t keep.
The Greens never take donations from corporations or the gaming, liquor or property industries.
Our councillors make decisions based on evidence and principle, so you’ll always know where you stand. And you’ll always have our demonstrated commitment to hard work and honest discussion, whatever the issue.

All of the costs were raised through local supporters, members of our community concerned about the climate emergency, inequities in our society and our resilience as a community. Come along to the meet the candidates sessions and learn more.
