Welcome to the website of the Australian Democrats WA Division Campaign to keep the Australian Democrats in the Senate.

We have 150 Action Plans for Australia's future. On election day, YOUR vote for the Democrats will help achieve our aim of keeping a Democrat representing Western Australia in the Senate.

 

Climate

“Australia cannot wait 15 to 20 years for ‘clean coal’ or nuclear power. We have a small window of opportunity to make the deep cuts needed to avoid dangerous climate change. We must act now to fundamentally decarbonise our economy. The Australian Democrats advocate for an aggressive push on energy efficiency and fossil fuels used strategically and sparingly as we shift to renewable energy.”

Water

“Water restrictions now apply to over 70% of Australians yet only 3% of urban rainfall is captured and our water is the third cheapest internationally. We must do better. We must reduce water waste, increase appropriate water reuse and extract less water from the environment. The Australian Democrat’s plan of action would avoid the need for new dams and desalination plants and put urban water use on a sustainable footing.”

Nuclear
“ The Democrats position on nuclear industries has been virtually unchanged for 30 years: we want a clean Australia free from uranium mining, nuclear reactors and radioactive waste. We do so to protect human health and our environment from the hazards of the uranium fuel cycle and from contributing to nuclear weapons proliferation.”
