The Greens will continue to champion a fairer society rather than simply the economy and to champion the parliament rather than simply the stock exchange .

As a Green, my goal is to put a smile on the face of the coming generations.

I didn't want to be a shock absorber; I wanted to deliver the shock.

There's a presumption that somehow you calculate beforehand whether something is going to be good politically or not. I simply don't.

I'm a very great non-violent character. I would never resort to violence to change anything.

I will be Green until the day I die, if not for a long time after.

We must have an expansionary vision, one that captures the imagination and diversity of the whole community, one which benefits a nation which has moved beyond the basics of literacy and numeracy and which wants to develop a learning culture.
