Leonie Green
President
The Australian Democrats exist to bring thoughtful, practical decision-making back to our democracy.We are pragmatic problem solvers. We focus on evidence-informed policy, values-driven leadership, and solutions that work in practice. We look for common ground where there are differences, and we expect our representatives to balance supporting one another in tough times with protecting the planet for future generations.We are rebuilding with purpose and a long-term view. That means growing our presence across the country, supporting strong, values-led candidates, and building a community of people who want to contribute in practical ways. This is about bringing people together again and creating a place where you can be part of something constructive and hopeful, helping to shape an Australia that shows the world how democracy can work at its best.Warm regards,Leonie
