That Greens walkout: no, senator, it was a stunt : Comments

By Richard Laidlaw, published 19/9/2016

A group with formal party status, however, should understand that it has duties to the parliament that extend beyond those of an individual member.

Well, there's a good way to try to convince readers of your believability: first words in your first sentence, call someone an idiot!

Yes, but aren't the Greens the masters of the "Bandwagon Fallacy"?

The greens achieved nothing while outside the chamber and typical of the manufactured outrage of this group of power hunger dog waggers!?

I would have had more respect if they'd stood up on their hind legs and addressed their (run with the hares hunt with the hounds) convictions with impassioned logical reasoned courageous oratory! And lead by intelligent example!

Given their actions, I have even less respect for the spurious asinine drama queen political juxtaposition of this political oxymoron merely masquerading as a conservation collective. (parliament of Baboons, Murder of crows) Kids who drown at sea are permanently free! If they are offended by the outcome of "democracy" they remain free to walk out permanently!

Pauline represents an otherwise unappreciated set of voters.

These important voters are NOT:

- leftwing,

- pro-indigenous treaty,

- feminist,

- soft on radical Islam,

- pro-unregulated immigration

- followers of UN-"SAFE" LGBTQIA indoctrination in schools

Good manners apart from convention should have kept them in their seats. Obviously it was all planned. If they didn't wish to hear what she had to say, then they should have just absented themselves from the chamber. That being said, it really was incumbent on them all to stay and listen. A lot of what she said might have been distasteful, but they would have been in a much better position to put forward counter arguments if they heard first hand what she had to say.

to busy working out how to sexualise young kids in the name of bullying in order to show respect for the 500000 that voted for Hanson. What a pitiful bunch who are pretend environmentalist.
