We are now a registered political party!
Thanks for your Help and Patience!
More to come.....
The Save the Planet executive has temporarily joined forces with another political party under the name "Save Our One Planet" (long version) in order to register for the 2019 Federal Election.
Each party will maintain their current policies but has united under a set of goals (see below) and simple shared constitution developed for the purpose of election.
The other political party, One Planet, is a rural-focused party, based in Victoria and focused on the issues of global warming and political integrity.
Our shared goals for the next Federal Election
Goal 1 - Global Warming
All levels of government implement, as their number one priority, the restoration of a safe climate and non-acidic oceans aiming for pre-industrial levels of greenhouse gases and ocean acidity at emergency speed in order to avoid a ecological and social collapse, while maximising the preservation of human and non-human life.
Goal 2 - Environment
Every level of government, under all jurisdictions, (and including at all bureaucratic levels), will ensure all decisions seek to enhance, restore and strengthen the ecosystems of our biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and ensure the processes within them are not interrupted, but can be operative indefinitely into the future.
Goal 3 - Democracy
Enhance our democratic institutions by tackling issues such as undue influence by media, corporations, and major donors; adequate public funding of our democratic processes; lessening barriers to political participation; and developing parliamentary systems that allow for both local representation and proportional representation in all levels of government.
Goal 4 - Economic
Population growth and perpetual economic growth will no longer be the major objectives of our Government, but instead an alternative economic system that sustains a high quality of life and equality of opportunity for all people on Earth as an ultimate goal.

The SAVE THE PLANET difference
- We tell the truth about how bad Global Warming really is.
- We demand the changes needed to give the best chance of stopping and reversing it.
- We deal with the whole issue from energy production to agriculture, economics, social justice and population.
- We are the only party with reversing global warming as its Number One campaign priority.
There is no compromise on global warming
Save the Planet is a new political party and community campaign focused on reversing global warming and recreating a safe climate. To achieve this there are Three Basic Steps:
1. We need to realise there is a crisis that must be tackled now
2. We need to stop making the planet hotter
3. We need to make the planet cooler.
Most political parties are not even up to Basic Step 1. Their priorities delay action on global warming by putting its importance below tax cuts to corporations or stopping refugees.
We have every technical solution we need to reverse global warming and create a safe climate but we just lack the political will.

why CLIMATE EMERGENCY FOCUSED party?
If we want to avoid a climate catastrophe, we must make global warming the primary election issue. Unlike any other party, Save the Planet's number one issue is Global Warming and the solutions needed for a Safe Climate.
Yes, other parties have climate policies, but we are not distracted by other issues and are the only party focused on reversing global warming. Some new climate focused party have adopted suicidal a targets and actually and are doing the fossil industries work for them by pretending we have 20-30 years before we have to get to zero.
Save the Planet will work with voters and parties across the political spectrum to achieve a Safe Climate. This is vital, with most right-of-centre parties being controlled by climate deniers and progressive parties only offering token or non-solutions that will not stop a runaway global warming event.
Our mission is to campaign so effectively that all major parties match our position or get voted out. Only then will a Safe Climate be possible in Australia.
Please join and help build a safe future for our children.
