Labor will work with the Greens to deliver improved transparency and integrity to Parliament and pursue policies that promote the national interest and address climate change.

Please give to Pakistan this weekend
Aid groups have told us that donations from the public to the Pakistan flood crisis are well down on past disaster relief efforts. Bob is encouraging all Australians to make a small donation this weekend to help save Pakistan from hunger and disease.
The scale of crisis in Pakistan is unbelievable - more than 20 million people are affected. That's more than the Boxing Day Tsunami, the Kashmir Earthquake and the Haiti crisis combined. People are stranded across a vast area and now disease is a real threat as people are forced to drink dirty water to survive. Pakistan desperately needs clean water, emergency food supplies and sanitation for more than 1 million children and their families.
Bob is urging everyone to give to the Australian organisations providing relief in Pakistan. A full list of organisations and their contact details is available here:
