Darren Churchill: Australian Democrats Campaigns

As the elected Senator for the ACT I will:

· balance economic policy with social and environmental considerations. Good economic management is about getting the balance right. It’s a “triple bottom line;”

· return a “balance of reason” to the Senate;

· vote with my conscience on all issues;

· support human rights, civil liberties and privacy;

· fairly represent the interests of all people in the Australian Capital Territory and Jervis Bay Territory, regardless of race, gender, religion or place of origin;

· maintain the traditional Australian Democrats principle of supporting legislation that is fair and equitable and seek to amend and make fairer that which is not (sensible negotiation);

· ensure that whichever party forms the government, they are held accountable for their actions;

· support industries that create jobs and are kind to the environment, and not those that will make problems for future generations. NO uranium mining and NO nuclear reactors;

· encourage investment in sustainable agricultural practices and sensible rural water management.

· encourage sensible use and management of urban water;

· encourage and support environmentally sustainable practices in renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Tired of Labor?

Worried the Liberals are too conservative?

Don’t trust the Greens?

There IS an alternative:

Vote DEMOCRATS!

The Australian Democrats are not beholden to big business or the unions or chained to any extreme ideology or religion. We are a party that makes judgements based on what is fair and just and moral. We are the only party that simply fights for what is right.

For honesty, tolerance and compassion.

You can Depend on us!

AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRATS!!!

You CAN change the world!

VOTE DEMOCRATS!!!

Give a Damn!
