Political Participation Via the internet- The Greens Party.



Picture- H-Ref 1

I shamefully admit I don't really know much about politics so it is probably good that I have to do this.

Here is an opportunity I found to participate in The Australian Greens Party. They have created a website that provides loads of information and shows how you can get involved.

Here I found the Senators of the Greens Party- Bob Brown, Christine Milne Rachel Siewert, Sarah Hanson-Young, Scott Ladlam and their aims-

Peace and Non Violence, Grassroots Democracy,
Social and Economic Justice, Ecological Sustainability

There are a number of ways to find information in regards to the Greens party including some of the issues they deal with such as Environment, Family and Community Economy which we should all care about and be interested in, but there are many more.

Take Action is a specific area of their site which enables you to participate in the Greens Party through 'Speak Out' where you can write a letter to the editor, or the Minister responsible for a particular area and also view listings for talk back radio stations. Not only that but you can become a member on this site and receive a free newsletter via email which will keep you updated.

I also found that the Greens also had Facebook, Youtube, Myspace and Twitter accounts which again demonstrates another way to get involved with this party. It seems they are very accessible, which is obviously deliberate. Accessibility seems vital in rounding up support.
