Is this the same Mr. Pyke that was once in the Greens, and caused havoc there?

And did this Higgins have something to do with labour hire firms in Qld? Or the wool mob?

The Right always claim to be 'Centre' it's part of their born-to-rule ideals.

This is another shade of 'One Notion' and will attract the same simpletons.

With luck it will fade from view with less impact than ON ever had.

If not, the initiators will soon enough fall out with each other, candidates, and the public.

What is the party's view on a 'Big Australia' and in relation to solving problems connected with growing the population such as infrastructure and decentralisation even if means encouraging business to the regions. How will water be managed?

"...intending immigrants to formally accept our system of law, the separation of church and state, and equality between women and men.

While Republican Democrats support these new ideas, getting them into our present Constitution would be a nightmarish, likely impossible task."

Hang on I thought these rights were enshrined constitutionally. Isn't separation of church and state, adherence to the law and equality a given in our legal and constitutional obligations?

PTB would probably know.

Just checked their web site.

Sounds like a private company, just like One Notion.

No explanation of how branches work.

They are taking 'expressions of interest' to become members!

Surely, just a 'membership application' would be all that is needed?

So, Sgt. Pyke, how much does it cost, is it a political party or a private company, do you have branches with elected branch officers, were you elected, by whom, where, when, how?

I look forward to a swift rsvp.

"Is this the same Mr. Pyke that was once in the Greens, and caused havoc there?"
If so, is it possible that a former Green has changed his colour? Such colour change is unbelievable.

Peter Pyke:

>> As Republican Democrats we say that the Greens are not a real alternative - its members sit to the left of Labor. <<

Left of Labor? 21st Century Labor? Then that's still right of centre.

But thanks for clarifying your party's world view.

TBC: << Is this the same Mr. Pyke that was once in the Greens, and caused havoc there? >>

Yup. I used to refer to him as Peter Puke. He's little more than an ego with legs who feels some sense of entitlement to a seat in Parliament.

I suspect the main reason that he's formed his own party is that none of the existing parties will have a bar of him.
