Greens (WA) - Election 98 Why Vote Green ?

It's Vital in the Senate - Re-elect Greens (WA) Senator Dee Margetts

A Green vote is good value

Greens (WA) Senator Dee Margetts has consistently rated as one of the hardest working Senators in the Senate Chamber over the last 5 years since her election in 1993. In addition, Dee Margetts has been a tireless worker outside the Senate Chamber in Senate Committees and working with communities on local issues.

More than Environment

As a Greens politician, Dee cares about much more than just the environment. She has been a voice of integrity for Western Australians by making major contributions to debates on a range of legislation as diverse as taxation, health, superannuation, trade, childcare, aged care, education and unemployment. She continually promotes fairness and justice for people, and most importantly, works hard to involve the community in government decision making and ensure government accountability.

Dee's achievements in the Senate:

• Environment
• Participatory Democracy
• Peace & Disarmament
• Social Justice
• Committee Work

It's Vital in the Senate to stand up to the major parties narrow agenda

Senator Margetts, who was a teacher and an economist before entering politics, has demonstrated that there is an alternative to the major parties who have well and truly reached their used by date. The 'old parties' are out of touch with Australians and are putting corporate profits before people. Senator Margetts has an approach to economics that makes the economy our servant and not our master rather than concentrating on a 'nice bottom-line'. It is vital that the Senate retains a strong Green voice to be able to air concerns that other parties do not find 'politically viable'.

The only truly WA party

Greens (WA) Senator Dee Margetts has demonstrated that she has a strong commitment to the people of Western Australia. The Greens (WA) are the only solely Western Australian party in the Federal Parliament. In the current political climate it is crucial to maintain a principled voice of experience and tolerance in the Senate - Australia's House of Review.
