With its sharp right turn to Tony Abbott as leader, the coalition has left small-L liberal voters to back the Greens, sending a message to Canberra, Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown said today.
“From human rights to social justice, including issues important to women, support for better funding for public health and education and protection of Australia’s environment, the Greens now represent the fair-minded alternative to Labor for Australian voters.”
“After this historic meltdown of the coalition on climate change, the Greens are left as the reasoned science backers – we are responding responsibly to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which the Abbott extremists and coalition sceptics reject.”

“In Higgins and Bradfield next Saturday, with voters abandoned by Rudd Labor, the Greens will give voters the clear opportunity to send a message to Canberra and Tony Abbott.”
“Clive Hamilton and Susie Gemmell would provide better representation, including on climate change, for people in both electorates than the Liberal candidates who now stand for Mr Abbott’s hardline views on social and environmental issues across the board,” Senator Brown said.
