Our values

The work we do is based on our charter and the values we share as a movement and as a political party.

Collectively we aim to:

• Act according to our Charter
• Respect the planet and the web of life of which we are one part
• Take the path of caution in the face of serious uncertainty about the consequences of human action
• Think long term and holistically
• Make decisions by consensus whenever possible
• Engage respectfully, without personal attacks
• Support ideas on their merit, regardless of where they originate
• Actively respect cultural and individual diversity and celebrate difference
• Maintain a community focus
• Enable participation with dignity and challenge oppression
• Encourage new voices and cherish wisdom
• Recognise our duty of care towards those who cannot speak for themselves
• Foster compassion, a sense of humour and mutual enjoyment in our work
