I like a lot of what this party stands for (which is why I am a member) but I am disappointed that there isnt an official policy on the National Broadband Network. I know it has been discussed and there should be at least something on this site either in support or against it.
And it should also be outlined how the party intends on achieving its major greenhouse emissions targets without damaging our already fragile economy.
Excellent set of policies that have been put out there, and I hope to see some democrats back in the house and senate at the end of the month.
