The below agenda is taken directly from the Greens website (see: http://greens.org.au/policies/human-rights-democracy/global-governance) and is what Labor have signed a coalition agreement to implement.  Not forgetting that Labor has agreed to meet with the Dalai Lama on a weekly basis. (see: http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/introducing-labors-new-faction-the-greens/).

Global Warming mythology is the tool that environmental zealots will use to establish a global governance. It really is quite significant and concerning that the Greens are being so open about this. FREE will never support global governance as it runs totally against what we stand for. The Labor Party have completely lost the plot and they will succumb to the Greens agenda. It is only by focussing on issues of social justice as it relates to the individual that a government will resist the forming global government. Labor do not have social justice as their policy platform and therefore will comply to the Greens lead in this regard.  The obvious question is what happens to the notion of sovereign nation states under such an ideology, or the sovereignty of the individual? 

BEGIN PASTE...

Principles
The Australian Greens believe that:

1.global governance is essential to meet the needs of global peace and security, justice, human rights, poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability.
2.effective means of global environmental governance are needed to halt and reverse the current trends towards environmental decline across the globe, especially with regard to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.
3.the system of global governance must be reinvigorated.
4.major structural reform is needed to provide stronger, more effective and more representative multilateral institutions.
5.the leading role of the United Nations (UN) in the maintenance of international peace and security must be recognised and respected by all countries.
6.the international financial institutions that govern aid, development, trade, and transnational financial movements require extensive reform to enable them to provide global economic justice.

Goals
The Australian Greens want:

7.renewed commitment by Australia to multilateralism as the means of addressing world problems.
8.extensive structural reform to democratise the UN.
9.a stronger UN capable of dealing with threats to international peace and security.
10.a commitment to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 which calls for more women at every level of governance, and for women and gender issues to be included in all aspects of peacemaking and peace-keeping.
11.full support for, and adequate resourcing of, the International Criminal Court.
12.the development and upholding of international legal codes on the accountability of political and military leaders for human rights abuses and crimes against humanity.

Measures
The Australian Greens will:

13.provide a commitment by Australia to support the work of the UN, to abide by its charter and resolutions, and to meet financial obligations to the institution.
14.support consideration, by a UN reform commission, of structural reforms such as:
phasing out the veto powers of permanent members of the Security Council;
regularly reviewing the permanent membership of the Security Council and expanding the permanent and non-permanent member representation;
restructuring the relationship between the Security Council and the General Assembly, including requiring General Assembly approval for the enactment of certain Security Council measures such as the enforcement of economic sanctions;
establishing structures that provide a greater accountability to the peoples the UN represents;
creating a consultative mechanism composed of representatives of civil society, including trade unions, environmental organisations, professional associations and other non-government organisations;
creating an international council for conflict resolution; and making changes to UN decision making bodies to ensure that they more democratically represent the peoples of the world.
15.support the establishment, by the UN, of an international crisis prevention and response centre to address threats from terrorism and other conflicts, to provide rapid response peacekeeping forces, and to rapidly respond to humanitarian crises.
16.support the establishment of an international environmental court and an environmental council at the UN, with similar decision-making powers to the Security Council to deal with environmental issues of global significance.
17.support the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, and ensure that all nations are subject to its decisions.
18.work towards the creation of a clear code of international law for breaches of universal human rights within individual States.
19.support the abolition of the IMF, World Bank and WTO unless radical reform can: make their processes transparent;ensure voting and other decision making processes are more democratic;
allow full democratic participation of representatives from affected communities, including non-government organisations (NGOs) representing disadvantaged groups such as indigenous people and women; democratise and improve their dispute settlement processes;abolish IMF and World Bank structural adjustment loans; reorient World Bank loans away from large, capital-intensive projects; and bring them into the broader 'family' of UN institutions and provide checks and balances over their power.

You know my opinion on this Craig...they have lost the plot completely.

I did not know that Labor has agreed to meet the Dalai Lama on a weekly basis...WTF is this some sort of hippie Beatles type crap seeking spiritual guidance. What the hell does the Dalai Lama have to do with running our country? I know the moral radars of most of those in power have completely gone but WE the people get the government we deserve and this is still a democracy (just) so hopefully all this crap we are putting up with at the moment will not be forgotten as we have elections around the country in the next few years and THE PEOPLE start kicking some arse instead of doing the same old same old....man I need a drink....

Yeah "Living the dream", and lifted straight from Sophie Mirabella's column in 'The Punch'. Feel the credibility slipping away already?
Any body who knows this (Federal Liberal member for indi), maggot, knows her for some of the far right rubbish that she has spewed forth since
being appointed to the shadow ministry by Abbott. Guess he has a soft spot for fellow Monarchists that like to rake muck and then try to backpeddle their way out of it.

Not a very good first post Living the dream, and although it may read well to some of the brothers on here that seem to relish the thought of going back to No money being
spent on the nation's roads, health or education, if it means not having a surplus to crow about, it's not going to change a thing when it comes down to what ever Government
will be formed in the next week or so.

Will the Dalai Lama be coming here once a week or visa versa?

[livingthedream]

G'day csaw, the Greens policy about global governance was lifted directly from their own website; it did not come from Punch.  It is a new additition to their policies, as I do not recall seeing it prior to the election.  Regarding the line I wrote about the Dalai Lama that I took from Punch, fair call. 

Do you have any thoughts on what the Greens did say in that post?  I don't want people missing the main point of the post due to me including a line from Punch on a different topic.

1 question. what the fuck is "multilateralism"?

[StomperMagoo]

I think it's more than one ethnic at a cafe drinking latte?

[livingthedream]

"multilateralism" is what you get many many nations work on a problem.

Yesterday the news of closure of another timber mill in Scottsdale Tasmania ... along with both the Wesley vale pulp and the Burnie pulp last year ... 3 large companys in a 150 mile radius that the GREENS HAVE ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNED AGAINST ...   GONE    ... around 6-700 full time employees ... but more importantly several thousand suppliers/contractors/family members who now have lost an income ... any Rational person would realise you need a balance ... the days of unlimited natural resources are long gone but if you are going to actively campaign to close companys you had better have a damn good backstop when they close and those familys are looking for another source of income ... the GREENS backstop ... insert the sound of crickets ... nothing ... TOURISM ... people will flock to impoverished rural areas where the unemployment level is 30-40% ... they will give you facts and figures but that will not put food on the table for several thousand familys ... and Bob Brown the raving homosexual leader of this lunatic fringe ... yeh he,s got a plan ... LEGALISE GAY MARRIAGE ... Yep that will help those familys ...
