This is a work-in-progress. I aim to have a quick overview of all candidates relevant to me here. This will be biased, so please check out the parties and individuals yourself.
Parties running for NSW Senate
Negatives:
While not reported in their policies, they have opposed “No Jab No Play” legislation: AVN – Health Australia Party
They are opposed to water fluoridation and have have concerns about EMR pollution. They are big fans of natural medicine.
They seem opposed to euthanasia.
Positives:
They support medical cannabis and that illicit drugs use is a medical problem that should be tackled on why people use drugs.
Anti domestic-violence
Support an appropriate and well targeted “buy Australia” program.
Economic centrists: The HAP believes in balanced free enterprise, where government has a role to play in ensuring that neither big business, big unions nor government bureaucracies distort the economic system and prevent economic prosperity being shared reasonably by all.
The HAP believes in the value of food co-operatives.
Fossil fuel subsidies should be progressively removed and funds redirected towards clean, renewable energy technologies.
Climate change: On the basis of pollution alone the HAP believes that human behaviour must change.
HAP supports a stronger national interest test to be applied by the Foreign Investment Review board for purchases of agricultural land and water resources.
The HAP is committed to ongoing grass roots consultation not only with its members and supporters but with the wider electorate through regular community forums and focus groups.
