Include Bob Brown in the leaders debates

Include Bob Brown in the leaders debates

18 Jul 2010 | Democracy

Australia is a vibrant democracy. We pride ourselves on hearing different points of view.

This election the Greens are the clear third party. Many pundits expect the Greens to hold the balance of power in the Senate after the election.

It's important for the Australian voting public to have the opportunity to hear the views and policies of the Australian Greens, alongside those of the old parties.

Send Prime Minister Gillard and Opposition Leader Abbott a message, telling them it's time for Australian Greens Leader Senator Bob Brown to be included in the national election leaders debates.

Tips on writing to the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader:
Personalise your email as much as possible. Start by stating which issues are important to you, which issues affect your family and daily life, and why it's important that the Greens alternative deserves to be heard
Your MPs take personalised emails from their electors much more seriously than pro-forma emails. While we are happy to provide a suggested letter, we strongly encourage you to add why you personally care about this issue.
