Specifically, Australians value leaders whom they believe are committed to:

• making decisions that are in the interests of all Australians and not letting the unintended consequences of any policy decision to unfairly impact on any one group;
• caring for the long-term future of the country, including the needs of future generations of Australians, not just their chances of re-election; and at the same time;
• maintaining the social, economic and environmental systems — the ‘commons’ — upon which community well-being depends.
