notes
1The ACT Greens do not formally have a leader. Dr Deb Foskey is the party's elected member in the ACT and is treated by the media and public as the leader.
On the subject of taxes, ACT says that tax rates should be lower, and also supports something approaching a flat tax, in which tax rates would not be graduated based on wealth or income.
ACT grew out of the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers, although the two are separate organizations.
ACT argued that she should be forced to resign from parliament, as her departure from the party left ACT with fewer seats than the public had chosen to give it at the last election.
Although the Greens see themselves as representing a "new politics" which is distinct from the traditional categories of "left" and "right", they are seen by many Australians as a "left-wing" party, and have become the party which attracts most of the left-wing vote.
The Australian Greens have much political common ground with the Australian Democrats, particularly on environmental and social issues, a fact that has led to occasional suggestions of a merger between the two parties.
While this was interpreted by some as an act of hostility towards a rival threatening their political niche, it is not unusual in Australian politics for small parties that might otherwise have little in common to make mutually advantageous preference-swap deals with one another.
