Sustainable Australia Party is an independent community movement with a science and evidence-based approach to policy.
SAP's mission is to create a fair and sustainable Australia.
Sustainable Australia Party policies represent its core values in action.
1. Sustainability*
Australia should progress economically and socially using resources in ecologically sustainable ways to protect the environment and the natural world. In practice, we support a science and evidence-based approach to policies. The aim is wellbeing for all Australians, present and future, and to preserve the biodiversity of our ecosystems, with enough space and resources to live well and in balance with each other. Environmental impacts are the result of the interaction between population size, consumption per person, and technology.
2. Transparent Democracy
We are committed to inclusive, honest and transparent governance that prioritises the broader public interest, integrity and stopping corruption. All individuals should have equal opportunity to take part in the democratic process. Public policy should be based on objective evidence-based advice in light of wider social, environmental, economic and national security concerns.
3. Progressive Innovation
We encourage progress in innovation and sustainable development. In economic, environmental, social and cultural fields we advocate renewed investment in education and training, scientific research and entrepreneurship. The objective is a skilled, productive, creative and more self-sufficient nation, helping all Australians to fulfil their potential.
4. Global Vision
Through example, partnership and assistance, Australia should help other nations to develop sustainably, protect their environments and support the human rights of all citizens.
*What is sustainability?
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This requires us to operate our society and economy within safe environmental limits, linked to the concepts of stewardship, resilience and systems thinking.
Sustainable Australia Party supports the Quadruple Bottom Line framework for sustainable prosperity which evaluates performance across four pillars: People (social), Profit (economic), Planet (environment) and Purpose (ethics/governance).
