So? What did you expect? Intelligence and genuine economic advocacy?

Or better yet; genuine environmental literacy?

Where, in this manifesto, are the policies that ensure the government earns, at a minimum, the same as they spend? Including the payment of debt. As Rohsty observes, where is the economic advocacy/literacy?

Oh the chief hypocrites who opposed the rising of the fuel index and then have the nerve to say they are about the environment. They talk about home affordabilty and were the first to champion the carbon tax and want to legislate for people to use solar and wind farms (despite its inefficiency and costs). Then their is the envy where many Green supporters are on the public purse and yet want to deny people are choice on education. Already the State system sucks on the public purse a lot more than the private. Don't forget also many of their members pathological hate for Israel. A truely regressive party.

The Greens should not ever be trusted to be in Parliament.

They are liars and opportunists:

"SYDNEY SIEGE SHOWS TOUGHER GUN LAWS NEEDED NOW

Thursday, Dec 18th, 2014
Today's revelation that the gunman at the Sydney siege had a gun licence must lead to tougher gun laws across the country.

NSW Police Commissioner Scipione must immediately explain how a man charged with such serious violent offences retained a gun licence with the NSW Police Firearms Registry.

The Police Commissioner has at all times had the power to suspend the gun licence under s22 of the NSW Firearms Act.<http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/maintop/view/inforce/act+46+1996+cd+0+N>

Greens MP and Justice Spokesperson David Shoebridge said:

"It is impossible to understand how the NSW firearms registry did not take immediate action to revoke this man's gun licence once he was charged with this offence...."

A piece of misinformation that had been corrected by the Federal Police over two hours before the above was posted.

Yet the Greens turned it into a lie that is still on the NSW Greens' website.

Mere sloppiness could be a lame excuse for putting it up in the first place but to leave it there for near 3 months shews absolute laziness or a lack of touch with reality.
Perhaps the Greens think that if it is left there long enough then it will become truth.

Such lies as are in this Greens' statement should not be tolerated from MPs; to vote for the Greens is to support Politicians lying to gain there own ends which in the case of the Greens is Red Communism.

Have the Greens abandoned their policy of no coal fired power stations ?
Is their belief that wind and solar can do it all ?
The Energy Return on Energy Invested for wind and solar makes it
obvious that neither or both can do the job. Unless we have a major
high ERoEI source of power such as nuclear or some as yet unknown
system to back wind and solar up we are in trouble.
The ERoEI of coal and oil has fallen significantly over the 90 years
and cannot be counted on for the 50 years.
