  • Greens MP faces financial ruin

    He thought he was doing the right thing and speaking out for a mate, but at a community hall outside of Byron Bay in 2001, NSW Greens upper house MP Ian Cohen made the comments that have led to a bill of over $1 million.

    Now preparing to sell up his flat in Sydney’s Tamarama and take on a bank loan with interest repayments alone of about $1000 each week, the once outspoken politician is facing financial ruin, all because he criticised a developer, Jerry Lee Bennette, for bringing a defamation case against a school teacher, Bill Mackay.

  • Your country, your rights

    Australia remains one of few developed countries that have yet to put in place a Bill of Human Rights. Claire Mallinson from Amnesty International Australia outlines the need for such a fundamental legal mechanism.

    Federal Funding 2010
    Unlike the state Greens parties, the Australian Greens receives no direct public funding after federal elections. While public funding makes up the bulk of the Greens’ income, the Australian Greens national body misses out. After the 2007 election, the Greens collectively received $4 million in funding but none of this went directly to the Australian Greens. By agreement, most states passed on a fraction. The Australian Greens do not currently have a fundraiser. What’s more, most of the money raised from the Australian Greens’ recent letter of appeal (60%) went to the state Greens. For the 2010 election we need a national campaign with a national advertising budget, reliant on the expected public funding, like the bigger parties.
    If you make a donation to the Australian Greens and want it all to go towards the national advertising budget, be sure to say so.

  • Guest Green: Jake Wishart

    In 1933, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt launched an ambitious program of economic transformation which captured the collective imagination of America and steered the country through the Great Depression after years of ineffective public policy from conservative leaders. This programme became known as ‘The New Deal’ and is still a thrilling inspiration to progressives today.

  • Renewing the state

    A greener economy does not necessarily have to be dictated from the halls of Canberra. Craig Wilkins and Mark Parnell MLC mythbust the South Australian economy, while Cam Walker looks to Victoria in our search for a state-based green new deal.
