By Stewart Prins, published 2/1/2007

It's time for the Greens to stop whining about conspiracy theories.

Robbyh says: "What we can do is adapt to the climate though as living creatures on this planet have done since day one."

Aren't you forgetting the collapses of past empires Robbyh, and the extinction of other species unable to adapt to climate change? In addition, the extinction of other species in the last 50 years is far greater than those which occurred with the previous Big Five.

And aren't you also ignoring the rapidity of the current climate changes when previous changes took thousands of years to occur?

The author may be a little premature in knocking the Greens. It's early days yet!

The Corruption and Crime Commission are presently investigating cabinet ministers in the WA labor party. One minister has already been thrown out!

Mark MucGowan was the worst Environment minister that state's seen and clearly aligned with pollutant industries. However, he's been rewarded with the Education portfolio. Three others have been "demoted."

Johnny Howard, a man I helped put into office, is well and truly on the nose. The current bias, spin and deception on all things nuked will not go down well at the next election.

To restore his credibility, he will need to own up to the fact that nuclear energy will not reduce anthropogenic GHGs. In fact, with the resurgence in uranium mining, they will drastically increase!

It's incredulous that we have referendums on daylight saving and trade deregulation, but none on nuclear energy! Remember that politicians are bound by law, to represent the voice of the people who elected them!

It would be refreshing to see the Greens at least generously hold the balance of power in Canberra and in all state parliaments, "if only to keep the bastards honest."

And perhaps people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

Well I have to agree with Dickie. The Greens need desperately to hold the balance of power in the State and Federal Governments. If we allow both the ALP and Liberals to destroy Australia with foreign mining conglomerates digging up our beautiful land, there will be nothing left for our children. We can't afford to have nuclear power here - not only will it make us vulnerable to warfare, we will also be obligated to take the waste of the world.

The Australian Greens have put some excellent policies in place - but the reason they gain so few seats regardless of their average 10% of votes nationally, is because the two major parties are fickle and prefer to place their preference bets on the religious whacko parties.

*Bob Brown* for President!

howard et al, aka the child abusers who supply the WMD abusers england & america with uranium for their enrichment waste munitions are terrified of the Greens who are arguabley the only party of integrity and honesty in Australia.

The ill informed sh!t shovellers in this post are to be ignored.
