Building a Better Normal Act Greens 2020 Policy Platform
BUILDING A BETTER NORMAL ACT GREENS 2020 POLICY PLATFORM THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO BUILD A BETTER NORMAL. In these unprecedented times, the decisions we make now will shape the future of our society. If the bushfires and smoke over the summer, and now the COVID-19 pandemic have shown us anything, it's that business as usual cannot continue. While the old parties and status quo are seeking a return to normal, the ACT Greens have a plan to use this once in a lifetime opportunity to redress the inequalities and injustices inherent in our current systems—to build a better normal. This means bringing the same boldness, decisiveness and energy the ACT Greens brought to climate action to reimagining our community in a way that benefits everyone for decades to come. It’s clear that now is both the right time and the best opportunity to build a better normal, by ensuring everyone has a home, by greening our suburbs, acting on climate change, and providing meaningful secure work. Our community can achieve amazing things when we put our minds to it and work together. We know we need to make our environment and activities more sustainable, and our community and infrastructure more resilient. We’re at a critical moment, and have the opportunity to rewrite the rules to ensure a cleaner, greener community where everyone is supported to thrive. The ACT Greens play a unique role in the Australian political landscape and have been working hard over decades to set policies in the ACT that help shape a fair and sustainable future. -

CREATING EMPLOYMENT for YOUNG PEOPLE in YOUR COMMUNITY
CREATING EMPLOYMENT for YOUNG PEOPLE in YOUR COMMUNITY Ideas and solutions from The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs “It is terrific to see such varied projects coming out of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs. We know that there is a wealth of opportunities for young people in their own communities and these examples show that. Every young person who feels optimistic about their community will add value and wealth to the region. This is a Best Practice guide, which not only tells about the projects but also gives you the key factors for success. I hope it will be widely used and the examples copied, changed and developed in communities throughout the country”. Garry Moore Chair - Mayors Taskforce for Jobs Mayor of Christchurch ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A most sincere thank you to everyone who so willingly shared with us information about their various projects and the ways in which these are helping to foster greater community spirit and a coming together of disparate skills. Such cooperation gives cause for optimism – a hope that collaboration will foster the untapped talent of young people and help towards creating a sustainable employment environment for the future. Also thanks to the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs partners, particularly Work & Income, Community Employment Group and the Employment Catalyst Fund who have assisted with funding for many of the projects.

Dear Mr McCusker, Please find attached Enhancing Democracy in Western Australia, my submission to the review of the Western Australian Legislative Council electoral system. I am happy for it to be made public. Yours sincerely, Chris Curtis Enhancing Democracy in Western Australia Chris Curtis May 2021 The manufactured hysteria that greeted Ricky Muir’s election to the Senate and that ultimately led to the Turnbull government’s rigging the Senate voting system to favour the Greens over the micro-parties is getting an encore performance with the election of Wilson Tucker in Western Australia, despite the unremarked-upon election in both jurisdictions of many more candidates of major parties from even lower primary votes and with the added twist that most members of the panel established to investigate the matter have already endorsed, even promoted, the hysteria (https://insidestory.org.au/an-affront-to-anyone-who- believes-in-democracy/). While it is clear from this fact that submissions in support of logic and democracy have already been ruled out of consideration, it is worthwhile putting them on the public record for future historians to refer to and so that more reasonable politicians can revisit the issue if the hysteria dies down.
