D1: Young Greens Constitution 2020/2021
Billy Wassell: Would like to second this. It would have been great if you had contacted Jane and I over this motion as we could've worked together on it. I'm assuming this motion wants to change one of the…

B9: Support Intersex youth
Joshua Farrell: In the same way we are advocates for trans rights, we need to be more vocal. Many intersex people feel overlooked as the only time they are mentioned is when it comes to defending trans…

B8: Post-pandemic mental health crisis
Joshua Farrell: I fully agree with your amendment, the point of this is that mental healthcare in this country is appalling not just in the lack of funding but also the organisation of it. Whilst yes CAHMS…

B7: Recognise Non-binary identities
Joshua Farrell: I would fully accept a friendly amendment to this to make it more actionable, although I might do it myself. To be honest this might be better as an amendment to my other motion "Campaigning…
07/02/2021
B6: LGB Alliance is a hate group
Joshua Farrell: Again this would be a motion of organisation. To be honest I was being a bit cheeky with the disciplinary action part as I wanted for it to have actual consequences
07/02/2021
B5: Campaigning for Trans Equality
Joshua Farrell: Party literature specifically refers to any manifestos or similar that are produced by the Young Greens. I know that it was being talked about (I don't know if it is currently done) of…

B3: Divest and reclaim pride
Joshua Farrell: Pride has become very corporatized (I don't know if that's a word), meaning that corporation have co-opted and taken over pride and removed power from the actual community as well as using…
07/02/2021
B2: Banning Conversion Therapy
Joshua Farrell: This is specifically calling on the Young Greens to campaign as we have seen LGBTIQA+ Greens and the Green Party do some really excellent campaigning on conversion therapy. This is more to…
07/02/2021
B1: Adopting a definition of Transphobia
Joshua Farrell: Hi Hannah, This would be a motion of organisation, I have been advised by the DAC that this would be the best way to present us adopting a definition of transphobia with the part you have…

CC5: Patrick McAllister
The motion was withdrawn.
06/22/2021
B4: Fighting for the Mock COP26 Treaty
Joshua Morris-Blake: PLEASE NOTE Although this motion is under my name, it is supposed to be a Motion from the Under 18 Young Greens - a technical issue on the submit page meant it didn’t work properly, so…

B11: Policy and Manifesto Guidance - UN Sustainable Development Goals
Hannah Clare: I'm not sure whether there's a clarification that you could do to make it work unless you remove that section about policy with an amend as otherwise you'll need to amend constitution on…

B11: Policy and Manifesto Guidance - UN Sustainable Development Goals
Joshua Morris-Blake: This is a good point - I don't envision DAC rejecting Papers in this way, so probably clarification needed. I think the Motion is definitely workable for the Youth Manifesto, with RoPS then…

B8: Post-pandemic mental health crisis
Hannah Clare: Could you also give a definition by what you mean as mental health services as this is really broad?
06/20/2021
B7: Recognise Non-binary identities
Hannah Clare: I think this is the case for a lot of your policy motions posted - but the resolves section really needs a concrete action for the Young Greens to do.
06/20/2021
B9: Support Intersex youth
Hannah Clare: I think this could do with some clarification on how you want the Young Greens to advocate?
06/20/2021
B8: Post-pandemic mental health crisis
Hannah Clare: A helpful amendment might be to help address the waiting lists that CAHMS services have. This is mainly due to the lack of child psychiatrists which is something you become qualified for…
06/20/2021
B6: LGB Alliance is a hate group
Hannah Clare: I'm not sure you can mandate in a policy statement disciplinary action. Would be interested in a DAC ruling on this
06/20/2021
B5: Campaigning for Trans Equality
Hannah Clare: Can you define "party literature"? I think this also doesn't quite work with the RoPS - there's a policy of a 5 year review that DAC have to undertake but would be odd for convention to…
