	The Earth Times/ENVIRONMENT: Australian greens condemn US for climate change stance. By Mark Schulman
		The Australian Senate recently passed a motion, moved by Greens Senator Bob Brown, condemning both the US administration and the Australian government of Prime Minister John Howard for their failure to support the Kyoto Protocol.
		The Australian Democrats also joined in and called on the Howard government to assure the Parliament that Australia would not follow the US, but instead look to the UK, Europe and New Zealand in pursuing a climate change treaty independent of the Bush administration.
		The Australian government has for the time being agreed to continue to meet the commitments it made at Kyoto, but has backed the US’s position on the need for developing countries to combat global warning.

	Australian Greens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The precursor to the Tasmanian Greens (the earliest existent member of the federation of parties that is the Australian Greens), the United Tasmania Party, was founded in 1972 to oppose the construction of new dams to flood Lake Pedder.
		Partly as a result of this, fifty Greens activists gathered in Tasmania in December to organise a national conference.

	Behind the "antiwar" stance of the Australian Greens
		In other words the Greens’ opposition to the war is not derived from an opposition to the violent eruption of US imperialism and the drive by the major powers for a redivision of the Middle East, but on an estimation that it is not in Australia’s national interest.
		The Greens statement declared: “The Australian Greens condemn the Serbian leadership in Kosovo for its policies and practice of genocide against the majority Kosovar people in Kosovo.” The condemnation was accompanied by the ritual call for a ceasefire and for so-called UN peacekeeping forces to be sent to occupy the region.
		The Australian Greens, like Green parties around the world, was founded on a program that explicitly rejects the class struggle and maintains that social conditions, democracy and the environment can be defended, and the drive to war averted, without challenging the existing capitalist property relations.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Australian Senate
		The Australian Senate is the upper of the two houses of the Parliament of Australia.
		From a comparative governmental perspective, the Australian Senate exhibits almost unique characteristics, in that unlike upper houses in other Westminster system governments, the Senate is not a vestigal body with limited legislative power but rather plays and is intended to play an active role in legislation.
		The Australian Constitution requires that the number of Senators approximate as nearly as possible to half of the number of members of the House of Representatives, and it has therefore grown periodically.

	Green Left - Issues: Australian Greens form in SA
		The Australian Greens are identifying clearly that it is transnational corporations and economic rationalism that are the two biggest threats to both the environment and social justice.
		Nationally the Australian Greens are very strong on a merger, or at least an exchange of preferences, but so far the Democrats have not shown themselves willing to commit on either." Approaches were also made to the Green Party of South Australia (who have not affiliated to the Australian Greens).
		He says that the function of Green elected representatives should be to utilise the resources of the state to assist community campaigns and for green activists to participate in community campaigns.

	A Better Earth - The Australian Greens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Australian’s, it would appear, are increasingly concerned about the environment and some wish to voice this concern with a Green vote.
		The Greens also want to ban all genetically modified organisms, prohibit all Australian livestock exports for consumption, end Australia’s association with all aspects of nuclear power, eliminate nuclear reactors across the world, prevent all new coal mines and ban shale mining.
		The Greens’ environmental policies exemplify the traditional environmental movement; and if it weren’t for their foray into international relations and social policy (where their anti-Americanism and anti-capitalism appears virulent and endemic) it would be easy to praise at least their environmental commitment, albeit misdirected.

	The ideology and politics of the Australian Greens: Part 1
		The Greens now register around 10 percent in opinion polls and are likely to win several seats in the Senate, with the possibility, although small, of securing seats in the House of Representatives as well.
		Australian forces, he argued, would have been better deployed in “our region.” Not surprisingly, while opposing the Iraq war on this basis, Brown was in full agreement with the Howard government’s deployment of Australian forces in a neo-colonial intervention into the Solomon Islands in June 2003.
		A crisis in the US economy, or an international recession, could well see the Australian economy start to unravel in conditions where neither of the major parties were able to command sufficient parliamentary support for the savage measures they would be compelled to implement on behalf of the banks and financial institutions.

	Australian Greens Conference
		A highlight of Saturday was the presentation and discussion of a 26-page paper 'A ten-year strategy for the Australian Greens', which thoroughly canvassed the political territory and the electoral options.
		The Australian federal political structure and variety of voting systems obviously makes a difference to how issues are approached and campaigns are executed, but very little difference to basic orientation on issues, with a similar deriving of positions from the core Green principles.
		One of the last decisions made at the last plenary was that henceforth the Australian Greens would invite (and fund) a New Zealand Green representative to their conferences.

	Bastards Inc.: Australian Greens are lying hypocrites
		The Greens party are eager to mouth the homilies about the preservation of views and freedom of speech, but if someone creates a dissenting opinion, then it's the use of every available legal avenue to prevent or discourage that view being heard.
		The Australian Greens will stop at nothing to get their view and their view alone into the public's eye.
		Perhaps the Greens don't realise it, but the tens of thousands of voters who may or may not have voted them, may have actually made their own minds on a voting decision on the basis of published and reported Greens policy.

	Australian Greens -- Northern Territory
		There are hundreds of Greens parties throughout the world, hundreds of parliamentarians and thousands in local government, all bound by a commitment to the four Green principles of social and economic justice, grassroots democracy, ecological sustainability and peace, non-violence and disarmament
		One of the reasons we are different to the rest is that The Greens do not believe that short-term economic gain should be a basis for decision-making and legislation.
		The Greens want a world where people recognise that all their actions impact in one way or another on our environment, and where we try to make sure that we do as little damage as possible to the Earth which sustains us.
