I'm worried about the traditional media, but I think the new media is a plus for democracy.
Globally the Greens have arisen like a spontaneous combustion, a reaction to the narrow-minded state-backed exploitation of resources and wealth for a few at the expense of the many.
Australia must prioritise education spending. It is not a question of whether or not we have the money, it is a question of how we choose to spend it.
As a Green, my goal is to put a smile on the face of the coming generations.
Coffee in Brazil is always made fresh and, except at breakfast time, drunk jet black from demitasses first filled almost to the brim with the characteristic moist, soft coffee sugar of the country, which melts five times as fast as our hard granulated.

Whereas our common past, out of Africa, saw a global diaspora of humankind, our common future depends on a global coming together and consensus, resulting in a more equitable distribution of the Earth's largesse.

I didn't want to be a shock absorber; I wanted to deliver the shock.
We people of the Earth exist because our potential was there in the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago, as the universe exploded into being.
I am aware that one should always make room for renewal in politics. A democracy is the healthier for the turnover of the depth of talent there is in its community.
The government's living in its own cloud cuckoo land and it's a cloud of greenhouse gases.
