SOL's Purpose
SOL is a not-for-profit Organisation.
SOL is Australia’s first internet based political party so the website will be crucial to SOL delivering on its promises. The current website is a pre-election site. The post-election site will be developed when a SOL candidate wins a seat in the Senate.
The SOL post-election website will provide:
- Accurate information and balanced argument on each bill and important issues;
- All those registered on the Australian Electoral roll and who have access to the Internet have the chance to have their say by voting on these bills and issues;
- A tally of all on-line votes;
- An easy and effective way to be directly involved in the political process.
