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 .

There are better alternatives... Australia should be exporting its solar technology, not its uranium.

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.

There is a spiritual side to our connection with the planet. And in this material world, that's anathema. It is somewhat worrying. What I say.. it makes life. It gives us fulfilment. It makes us whole human beings. And without it, we make mistakes. And, boy, are the leaders of the world making mistakes at the moment.

I have never met a person in whom I did not see myself reflected.

The pursuit of eternity is no longer the prerogative of the gods - it is the business of us all, here and now.
