As the elected member for FRASER I will:

* balance economic policy with social and environmental considerations. Good economic management is about getting the balance right. It’s a “triple bottom line;”
* introduce human rights and privacy legislation that will protect all people, regardless of race, gender, religion or place of origin. NO privacy invasions, NO Access Card;
* ensure that law enforcement agencies are accountable to the courts and the parliament;
* maintain the traditional Democrats principle of supporting legislation that is fair and equitable and seek to amend and make fairer that which is not;
* support social spending programmes for affordable housing and Paid Maternity Leave;
* ensure that whichever party forms the government, they are held accountable for their actions;
* support industries that create jobs and are kind to the environment, and not those that will make problems for future generations. NO uranium mining and NO nuclear reactors;
encourage investment in sustainable agricultural practices and sensible rural water management.
* encourage sensible use and management of urban water;
* encourage and support environmentally sustainable practices in renewable energy and energy efficiency

All those delicious motherhood statements straight from the democrat manual.

What about the potholes?

But spot on

The formatting suggests it’s a copy and paste from a policy document somewhere. Nice effort there darren.

Wouldn’t expect anything else from a waste of space political party though.

Hi Cranky and Ari,
Cranky: Democrats voters in Canberra can still vote for us in the Senate. That is what I recommend, if they like my ideas and want to support my party. I recommend a vote for the closest candidate to us in the Reps for Canberra (your choice). I would have liked a teammate in canberra too. I have two good teammates in Norvan Vogt and Anthony David for the Senate. Norvan lives in Canberra. I live and work in Fraser.
Ari: sorry about the format be hard on the eyes. I agree, it is a bit. Hope you enjoyed what I have to say anyway.
Cheers,
Darren Churchill

What the hell is going on with the formatting of that post?

It’s certainly hard on the eyes.

Pity you’ve disenfranchised seat of Canberra voters!

Displays a fairly severe case of lack of political acumen.
