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.
