You're such a delight, Corny. Perhaps you could tell us which party has a better policy on sustainability than the Greens? Or which other party is pushing for an Inquiry into population?

Or were you just having a spray, as usual?

Belly - as far as I can tell, just about every arm of government in NSW is being grossly mismanaged. Why would Forestry fare any better?

'Corny'? You are on the back foot again.

Apart from mentioning sustainability the Greens have no policy. Yet the Greens claim 'sustainability' as one of their flagship policies. How does that work? Where is their policy on population or on sustainability and population?

As has been said many times before, the Greens' green militancy is all attention-seeking. They have plenty to say about the Sea Shepherd and whales but zilch on significant internal matters such as capitals running out of water through Rudd's over-enthusiastic immigration policy for a 'Big Australia'.

The Greens will play footsies with the Liberals for yet another time and money wasting 'inquiry' to embarrass Labor, but the Greens can't risk a having a policy themselves on sustainability and overpopulation through fear they might upset some of their supporters. How gutless is that?

Now Corny, you didn't answer my questions, choosing instead to repeat your dishonest slagging.

No policies on sustainability?

The population policy is under review in anticipation of the National Inquiry called for by the Greens last month, and supported by the Opposition.

I appreciate the opportunities you provide to direct people to actual Greens policies and initiatives.

Corn flower please.
Please do not let your dislike and bias, some of those I share, blind you.
Brown has nothing to do with NSW politics.
How crimson rude to say forests needed a shake up, well management maybe.
It is intended that those who log the forest, contractors, truck the timber, take over policing what they pay for, seed trees, wild life refugee [what trees to leave]
This is not about rarely washed protesters in tri pods in the forests.
It is about the very people who try to get away with under paying for timber ,even not paying at all, being contracted to police them selves.
A socially beneficial return was once a requirement of jobs such as forests/RTA/ Railways/Parks/local government.
The mighty fantasy that creating contracts /wealth/ will bring better outcomes for tax payers is a lie.
Unless management rolls are contracted out, only them, nothing can be gained by dreaming scheming ideas that humans are only numbers in a game seeking only profits.

So what, just another repetitious link to the Greens site where there are just general statements and no practical actions whatsoever. The Greens have had years to flesh out their general statements with costed actions, but the cupboard is bare.

Again, what private company would put up with five of its most senior staff, including the CEO (cf., the five Greens senators in the federal parliament, with all of the research and support resources that are available to these representatives), who cannot do any better than ask someone else to do a review to tell them what their policies should be for one of the flagship businesses they claim to be in, viz., sustainability!"

The elephant in the room for sustainability is over-population, yet the Greens are too afraid of upsetting some of their supporters to do any better than play footsies with the Liberals, who similarly are finding the nettle to prickly to grasp.

Yet another inquiry to waste millions, how completely gutless is that? What board of a private company wouldn't sack a CEO and his senior managers for that?

Thanks again to Corny for providing an opportunity to link to accurate information about the Greens' activities and policies. If anybody wants to know what the Greens Senators and MPs are up to, they can follow the link below. I think you'll find that the Greens Senators are considerably more active than most of their bench-warming counterparts from the Government and Opposition.

What is repetitious is Corny's wilfully ignorant slagging of the Greens, and her refusal to answer the questions I put to her yesterday, i.e.

Perhaps you could tell us which party has a better policy on sustainability than the Greens? Or which other party is pushing for an Inquiry into population?
