As the Greens control the balance of power in the Australian Senate, the Green’s position will Senator Bob Brown Image: Australian Greens potentially impact on government policy. “The Howard government backed George W Bush's invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan in the cause of democracy”, Senator Brown said, “so why shouldn’t we now join vigorous moves in Europe and at the United Nations for a global people’s assembly based on one person, one vote, one value?” Such a global parliament, that according to Senator Brown “could be right here in Australia”, “would tackle international questions like nuclear proliferation, currency speculation, marine ecosystem destruction and those billion people who could be fed and literate if only a tenth of global military spending was sent to their assistance.” [ link to en.unpacampaign.org] |

In the next election hopefully no party will gain a majority.
Hung Parliament, except without the Independents appointing the PM (they won't get the numbers next time).
Australia needs peaceful political overhaul and revolution. |
