The Australian Democrats are Australia's number one social justice, human rights and environment party.

For 30 years the Democrats have been defending the environment and keeping the parliament accountable to the people.

This election is vital and Now more than ever, the Democrats are needed to save the Senate. The Senate works best when the Democrats hold the balance of power. It is the Australian Democrats that made the Senate into a house of review, a house of scrutiny and a house that acted as a brake on the power of the executive Government.

With the Howard Government drunk on power and Rudd led Labor showing signs that it will also take the Senate for granted it is vital that Australia votes 1 Democrat at this election.
