Cornflower - you must be a very sensitive little petal if you can find an insult in my posts on this thread. I think you just want a stoush.

I've acknowledged that the Greens' population policy is too general. You need to acknowledge that they are the only mainstream party to have a policy that mentions population sustainability, and that it is only Green politicians who have spoken out against Rudd's vision of a "Big Australia".

Have a nice day, won't you?

Your behaviour is always predictable - insults and personal abuse then like the typical bully, dog whistle for spineless supporters to indulge in a bit of abuse while you retreat to find some way to bolster your own argument. Beats facts, huh?

It is laughable that you pretend that the mere mention of the word sustainability passes for a policy on it. Bob Brown and the Greens have had years to flesh it out. Plainly the emperor has no clothes.

Like I said Cornflower, you just want a stoush.

Yawn.

Indeed!

Brown and the Greens just don't seem to have a clue about real sustainability. They HAVE had years to work it out. Of course it should have been their CORE policy area. It is more important than everything else put together, by an order of magnitude or two.

The Greens have failed us.

OK, so they could make amends. There is no time like the present, given that we have been prompted so strongly by Rudd's 'big Australia' and massive population growth rate. But will they? Or will they continue to mumble a bit in the background, making very weak and generalised noises of discontent, which is basically all that Bob Brown has done so far.

Problem is Ludwig, we have like, TWO parties that care about population sustainability. The Greens and One Nation.
Although One Nation are the only party that actually has a comprehensively thought-out policy regarding sustainable population management, they at present get a woefully low vote- while the Greens currently get quite a broad vote.

I'd at least give the Greens a chance- at least two rabidly pro-growth parties are more likely to be ousted.
But so you know, I am NOT a "best chance gets my vote" guy- ALL parties that I support get a high score on my ballot paper- no matter how small. (the beauty of numbered voting).

There's a thought, Ludwig - why don't you stand as a candidate for One Nation in the next Federal election? That is, if they're still registered as a political party in Queensland.

They have polled very well in your neck of the woods in the past, and I reckon you'd be right at home with them - at least on the basis of the stuff you've been posting here lately.
