Scott, what are your thoughts on Julian Assange running for Senate and the new Wikileaks party?

Does it not make more sense, for a 'one issue' person to join a different party to adopt their other policies.

We know he is for transparency, but where does he stand on the environment, abortion, healthcare, public transport.

Most Greens voters I know are young people who vote based on socially progressive policies, and have no interest in economics.

Do you believe that the Greens need to become more economically literate to become a successful third major party in Australia, or is something else holding them back?

With the conservative vote potentially being split over Katter's Australian Party, Palmer's United Australia Party, The Liberals and The Nationals.

Do you foresee a future coalition government, consisting of more parties and independents having to work together, as there will be no clear majority?

Great answer, thanks Scott.

You didn't ask Assange to join the Greens? I know you've been a big supporter of him, Appelbaum and WikiLeaks.
