Democrats' membership grows

Thursday, June 25, 2009
During the past 3 months Australian Democrats' membership has grown 7.5% nationally and 6% in Victoria. The trend is continuing with new members joining every day.

This weekend, June 27 and 28, Australian Democrats all over the nation are meeting for the Big Australian Democrats Get Together. The events are open to members, supporters and anyone interested in the revival of the Democrats.

Victorian New Members Night

The latest group of new Victorian members was welcomed on June 19 at a function hosted by the Australian Democrats at Bell's Hotel in South Melbourne.

Who will keep the bastards honest now?

With no Australian Democrats in the senate who will strive to keep the government transparent and accountable? Who will demand legislation that protects independence and liberty? And who will stand up for the underprivileged and disenfranchised?

We will. With your help there's much we can do. We can still influence government via petitions and submissions, public forums and rallies. But until we get the Australian Democrats back into parliament our strength lies in numbers.
