Elections

The Australian Greens, commonly known as The Greens, is  the dominant Green political party in Australia. The party has its origins in the Franklin River Dams campaign in Tasmania in the 1980s, but its political platform now extends beyond environmental concerns to issues of the peace movement, grassroots democracy and  social justice.

Contents

[edit] Political ideology

The Australian Greens identify themselves as a "new politics" party. Former Tasmanian Greens member of the House of Assembly Lance Armstrong summed this position up as, "...neither left nor right but forward." Members of other Australian political parties invariably cast Greens policies as "radical". A strong perception exists that the Greens are  left wing.

The Charter of the Australian Greens identifies the following as being the four key pillars underlining the party's policy:

In pursuit of these principles the Greens have  adopted (often controversial) positions on issues such as:

Growing voter support for the Greens has led to increased attention from the major parties and  the media. Despite the party's left-wing reputation, high primary votes for the Greens have  been recorded in seats that are  traditionally conservative such as Kooyong and  Bennelong, as well as progressive ones such as Melbourne and  Sydney. In conservative Western Australia, between 2001-2005 the majority of Greens WA seats were held in rural and  remote seats (Mining, Pastoral, South-West). By contrast Michael Organ won the industrial heartland lower house seat of Cunningham in New South Wales in a by-election run off against Labor,( although the seat reverted to Labor in the 2004 Federal election.)

The Greens have  differentiated themselves from the major parties in a number of high-profile policy positions. By taking a strong public stand on issues such international politics and  the treatment of asylum seekers, for example, they have  shaken off their reputation as a single issue party concerned solely with ecology.

[edit] Structure

The Australian Greens, like all Australian political parties, are  federally organised with separately established state parties signing up to a national constitution, yet still retaining considerable policy-making and  organisational autonomy from the centre.[2] The national decision-making body of the Australian Greens is  the National Council, consisting of delegates from each member body (a state or  territory Greens party). The National Council arrives at decisions by consensus. There is  no formal executive of the national party. However, there is  an Australian Greens Coordinating Group (AGCOG) comprised of national office bearers including the National Convenor, Secretary, Treasurer, and  delegates from each State and  Territory. There is  also a Public Officer, a Party Agent and  a Registered Officer.

The following portfolio responsibilities are  divided between the four Greens Senators:

Senator Bob Brown, Senator for Tasmania - Parliamentary Party Leader of the Greens

Senator Rachel Siewert, Senator for Western Australia - Party Whip

  • Industrial Relations
  • Welfare and  Indigenous Affairs

Senator Kerry Nettle, Senator for New South Wales

  • Immigration
  • Health and  Education

Senator Christine Milne, Senator for Tasmania

This structure has replaced the previous system, under which specific spokespersons were appointed by the National Council.

A variety of working groups have  been established by the National Council and  these are  directly accessible to all Greens members. Working groups perform an  advisory function by developing policy, reviewing or  developing the party structure, or  by performing other tasks assigned by the National Council.

All policies originating from this structure are  subject to ratification by the members of the Australian Greens.[3]

On Saturday 12 November 2005 at the national conference in Hobart the Australian Greens abandoned their long-standing tradition of having no official leader and  approved a process whereby a parliamentary leader could be elected by the Greens Party Room. On Monday 28 November 2005, Bob Brown - who had long been regarded as de facto leader by many inside the party, and  most people outside the party - was elected unopposed as the Parliamentary Party Leader.[4]

[edit] History

[edit] Origins

The Green movement in Australia emerged out of environmental campaigns in the state of Tasmania. The precursor to the Tasmanian Greens (the earliest existent member of the federation of parties that is  the Australian Greens), the United Tasmania Group, was founded in 1972 to oppose the construction of new dams to flood Lake Pedder. The campaign failed to prevent the flooding of Lake Pedder and  the party failed to gain political representation. One of the party’s candidates was Bob Brown, then a doctor in Launceston[5] .

In the late 1970s and  1980s, a public campaign to prevent the construction of the Franklin Dam in Tasmania saw environmentalist and  activist Norm Sanders elected to the Tasmanian Parliament as an  Australian Democrat. Brown, then director of the Wilderness Society, contested the election as an  independent, but failed to win a seat[6] .

In 1982 Norm Sanders resigned from Parliament, and  Brown was elected to replace him on a countback[7]

During her 1984 visit to Australia, West German Greens parliamentarian Petra Kelly urged that the various Greens groups in Australia develop a national identity. Partly as a result of this, fifty Greens activists gathered in Tasmania in December to organise a national conference[8]. The Greens gained their first federal parliamentary representative when Senator Josephine Vallentine of Western Australia, who had been elected in 1984 for the Nuclear Disarmament Party and  later sat as an  independent, joined the party.

In 1992, representatives from around the nation gathered in North Sydney and  agreed to form the Australian Greens, although the state Greens parties, particularly in Western Australia, retained their separate identities for some time. Brown resigned from the Tasmanian Parliament in 1993, and  in 1996 he was elected as a Senator for Tasmania, the first elected as an  Australian Greens candidate [9] .

The most successful Greens group during this period were the Western Australian party, at that time still a separate organisation from the Australian Greens. Vallentine was succeeded by Christabel Chamarette in 1992, and  she was joined by Dee Margetts in 1993. But Chamarette was defeated in 1996 and  Margetts also lost her seat in the 1998 federal election, leaving Brown as the sole Green Senator.

[edit] 2001 Election

The 2001 federal election (the "Tampa election") saw the re-election of Brown as a Senator for Tasmania, and  the election of a second Greens Senator, Kerry Nettle of New South Wales. Brown took a strong stand against the government's policy on asylum seekers, leading to a rise in support for the Greens from disaffected Labor voters. This played an  important role in defining the Greens as more  than just a single-issue environmental party. In 2002 the Greens won a House of Representatives seat for the first time when Michael Organ won the Cunningham by-election.

[edit] 2004 Election

In the 2004 federal election, the Greens' primary vote rose by 2.3%, to 7.2%. This won them two additional Senate seats (taking the total to four), but the success of the Howard Government in winning a majority in the Senate meant that the Greens' influence on legislation decreased. Michael Organ was defeated by Labor in Cunningham.

Additionally, the 2004 election saw an  intense media campaign from the Christian-oriented conservative Family First Party, including a television advertisement labelling the Greens the "Extreme Greens". Competitive preferencing strategies prompted by the nature of Senate balloting (see Australian electoral system) saw the Australian Labor Party and  the Democrats rank Family First higher than the Greens on their Senate tickets, resulting in the Greens losing preferences they would normally have  received from the two parties. Consequently, although outpolling Family First by a ratio of more  than four to one first-preference votes, Victorian Family First candidate Steve Fielding was elected on preferences over the Australian Greens' David Risstrom, an  unintended consequence of these strategies[10]. In Tasmania, Christine Milne only narrowly gained her Senate seat before a Family First candidate, despite nearly obtaining the full required quota of primary votes. it  was only the high incidence of "below the line" voting in Tasmania that negated the effect of the preference swap deal between Labor and  Family First[11].

The Australian Greens fielded candidates in nearly every House of Representatives seat in Australia, and  for all State and  Territory Senate positions.

[edit] Dispute with the Herald Sun

In August 2004, the Melbourne Newspaper the Herald Sun published a cover story entitled “Greens back illegal drugs." The article received extensive media attention and  was disseminated widely by groups opposed to the Australian Greens. In response to the article Brown made a complaint to the Australian Press Council, which ruled that the article made a number of false claims, and  stated that “The Council views this article as irresponsible journalism.”[1] an  appeal by the Herald Sun was dismissed and  it was ordered to publish the Press Council’s adjudication.

Brown said: "This was no accident or  mistake. The aim was to attack the Greens, not through the editorial column, but through the news pages. The outcome of the false concoction of the Greens policies was to lose our party tens of thousands of votes and, in my calculation, seats in parliament".[12]

[edit] Interactions with other political groups

The Greens do not have  formal links to environmental organisations commonly labelled by the media as "green groups" such as the Australian Conservation Foundation, The Wilderness Society and  Greenpeace, all of whom claim to be non-political. However, a significant number of Greens members are  also members of one or  more of these organisations. During elections, there is  sometimes competition between The Greens and  one or  more of these groups on who is  negotiating "greens preferences" with either Labor or  the Liberals. In practice, The Greens tend to concentrate on preference negotiations with Labor in an  attempt to get Greens Senators elected, and  to get policy outcomes on issues like Tasmanian forests[13]. The outcome is  that more  Greens preferences go to Labor than the Liberals [14], but it  is generally believed that this has not affected federal election outcomes in 2001 and  2004.

[ and  unions">edit] Labor Party and  unions

Many supporters of the Labor Party and  trade unions see the Greens' policies as destructive of employment in industries like mining and  forestry. Left-wing trade unionists and  some members of Labor's Socialist Left faction often identify more  readily with the Greens, feeling sold out by Labor and  sympathising with the Greens' social policies. Some unionists, such as NTEU members, have  even run for parliament under the Greens ticket. One Labor MP, Kris Hanna, the member for Mitchell in South Australia, defected to the Australian Greens in 2003. Hanna left the Greens in February 2006 and  ran again  for Mitchell as an  independent in the South Australian state election held on 18 March 2006[2].

However, these Green sympathies are  not universal within Labor's left; the similarities between the two groups often see them competing for the same voters, making the Greens' growing popularity a threat to Labor [3]. In 2002, prominent Socialist Left member Lindsay Tanner wrote "The emergence of the Greens... is  already hurting the ALP's ability to attract new members amongst young people."[4]. During the 2004 campaign Tanner's own seat of Melbourne in Victoria was thought to be under serious threat by the Greens[5]; during that campaign, Tanner described Greens policies as "mad"[15]. In the end, Tanner held the seat comfortably on primary votes (51.78%, +4.35 swing), and  was not even forced to preferences[6].

[ and  parties">edit] Conservative groups and  parties

Relations between the Greens and  conservative parties are  almost uniformly poor. During the 2004 federal election the Australian Greens were branded as environmental extremists and  even fascists by members of the Liberal-National Coalition Government.[16] Christian Democratic leader Fred Nile[17] and  John Anderson[18] (former leader of the National Party of Australia) described the Greens as 'watermelons', being "green on the outside and  red on the inside". John Howard, Australian Prime Minister and  leader of the Liberal Party, stated that "The Greens are  not just about the environment. They have  a whole lot of other very, very kooky policies in relation to things like drugs and  all of that sort of stuff". [19]

Federal Conservation Minister Eric Abetz has criticised Australian Greens Senators Bob Brown and  Kerry Nettle for spending most of their time on non-environmental issues[20] .

[edit] Green-Democrat rivalry

The Australian Greens have  much political common ground with the Australian Democrats, particularly on environmental and  social issues, a fact that has led to regular suggestions of a merger between the two parties. However the Democrats and  Greens often differ on economic issues (such as the  and  Services Tax (Australia)">goods and  services tax which was enacted by the Liberal Government with Democrat support), and  on the Democrats' willingness to co-operate with the government of the day.

The Democrats have  long seen and  positioned themselves as charting a course between the two major parties in Australian politics and  thus 'keeping the bastards honest', whereas the Greens are  less willing to compromise on issues of policy. Rather than being a balance between the two larger parties, the long term objective is  to elect members into the lower house and  indeed, one day, to form government. This difference, and  the fact that the Greens and  Democrats appear to compete for votes from people looking for an  alternative to the Liberal and  Labor parties, has led to rivalry between the two parties.

In this context, the decline of the Democrat's vote is  regarded by some as a contributing factor to the increased vote (both primary and  preferred) for the Greens. However, the decline in Democrat's vote has been greater than increases in Greens votes, which indicates that much of the Democrats' former vote has gone to the major parties. The party's original support base was disaffected middle-class traditional Liberal voters from the centre-right Liberal Party's socially liberal wing.

[ and  territory politics">edit] State and  territory politics

The various  and  territories of Australia">Australian states and  territories have  different  and  territories">electoral systems, some of which allow the Greens to gain representation. In New South Wales and  Western Australia the Greens hold seats in the Legislative Councils (upper houses), which are  elected by proportional representation. The Greens gained their first upper house seat in South Australia with the election of Mark Parnell at the 2006 state election. The Greens also have  a seat in the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly. In Queensland, Victoria and  the Northern Territory, the single-member electoral system has not allowed the Greens to gain representation. From 2006, however, the Victorian Legislative Council will be elected proportionately, and  the Greens are  expected to win seats for the first time.

The Greens' most important area of state political activity has been in Tasmania, which is  the only state where the lower house of the state parliament is  elected by proportional representation. In Tasmania the Greens have  been represented in the House of Assembly since 1986. At the 1989 state election, the Liberal Party won 17 seats to Labor's 13 and  the Greens' 5. The Greens agreed to support a minority Labor government in exchange for various policy commitments. In 1992 the agreement broke down over the issue of employment in the forestry industry, and  the premier, Michael Field, called an  early state election which the Liberals won. Later, Labor and  the Liberals combined to reduce the size of the Assembly from 35 to 25, thus raising the quota for election. At the 1998 election the Greens won only one seat, despite their vote only falling slightly, mainly due to the new electoral system. They recovered in the 2002 election when they won four seats. All four seats were retained in the 2006 election despite a 1.5% fall in votes and  considerable early media speculation that two seats would be lost.

[edit] Federal parliamentarians

Senators Vallentine, Chamarette and  Margetts were all elected as Greens (WA) senators and  served their terms before the Greens WA affiliated to the Australian Greens, meaning that they were not considered to be Australian Greens senators at the time.
