Why don't the greens give credit to the facts about Australian Forestry Industry? Simple it won't sell membership tickets.

Quite simply the green groups and activists have been taken over by paid professional marketers/lobbyist that require an income stream.

They depend upon donations and membership fees. So they need to campaign on sexy issues such as forests, save our koalas etc

When was the last time you saw the greens campaigning to save the habitat of the Australian Blowfly.

So they do not want to know the facts, more disturbing they work on the goebbels principle if you are going to lie make sure its a big one because it is more believable.

look at their marketing techniques, do they use average looking Australians to promote their organisations, handing out literature on the streets. No they use good looking attractive women predominantly, because sex sells. they are no different to the strip club using promotion models to entice customers to their club.

They work on a premise that in the new world everyone can have a clean thought based job, there is no need to manufacture or mine.

Their first premise is stop these activities, god forbid that industry works out a way to genuinely conduct sustainable economic activity because this undermines the need for the paid professionals in the green groups. If society can have their material riches and genuinely conserve the environment then these paid harlots can't get their slice of the pie.

Agree with every thing you say about the greens using our forests and those that work in them as marketing play things.

This green marketing machine is very well oiled to the point that it takes from ill informed big city "donators" no less than $15 million annually. And we mustn't forget that federal governments have helped these green groups along, with affording them a massive benefit by providing tax deductibility status for all ‘donators’

Slasher; with a handle like that you can’t help but give yourself away.

Mate; society has moved on in your absence.

Mind your foot today.

You are spot on that the world has moved on. Here in Tas at last weeks state election 85% of voters choose to totally reject the dark green old world policies of stop every thing by locking every thing up.

This massive rejection of the greens can only be seen as a clear tick for the pulp mill approval process. The election saw a complete failure of the anti pulp mill candidate that stood in Bass (the electorate where the planed pulp mill is to built) this candidate has only received 1,182 votes from 63,640 votes counted, that’s only a 1.86% share while other candidates from the same electorate that supported the pulp mill process achieved 84% share (massive I do think is the word).

On top of this the green sitting member in Bass looks like he has also been rejected by the electorate and will loose his seat.

Yes again you are spot on, the world has and still is moving on from the old world days of dark green stop every thing policies.

It sure is a bright world out there.
