Democracy and freedom
Labor values the freedom of all people to hold whatever beliefs they choose while respecting those of others, and the freedom to express those beliefs without fear or favour.
Labor is committed to the essential democratic principle that every person should have the right to a say, directly or indirectly, in the decisions that affect his or her life. We are committed to advancing new ways of governing that foster democratic participation including:
-
Democratic participation in the choice of governments.
-
The promotion of new technologies that foster community involvement in decision making and public debate.
-
The opportunity for representation in the workplace.
-
The opportunity for a voice in planning, the environment, the delivery of public services and other aspects of community life.
