Welcome to the website of John Kaye, Greens MP
The future is at risk. Greenhouse pollution is threatening to damage the ability of the planet to sustain life. The growing wealth gap between the well-off and the disadvantaged is not only undermining the ideal of fairness, but it is placing in jeopardy the future cohesion of our society. And democratic institutions and values and our culture are being compromised by the growth of corporate power.
These are potent and difficult challenges but there are solutions. By working collectively as a society we can find the answers that will create a fair and sustainable future.
The Greens are actively creating that future.
