Dear Steven,

Senator Brown has stated that the Federal Greens in no way endorsed the policy deliberations (by the NSW Greens). Check the ABC's website as well. Senator Brown made it quite clear that "the NSW Greens were wrong, and they know that." He said, "I differ from Lee on that and she knows it." He had conveyed his views to Ms Rhiannon in a "robust" phone call on 1/04/2011.

Senator Brown also accused The Australian newspaper as having an "anti-Green agenda" and playing the issue up. He referred to the newspaper as "hate media."

As for your question - is Ms Rhiannon a "conviction politician?" - (is there any other kind?). She, like yourself, is probably convinced she's right. And, just like yourself - she will be judged accordinly - by her actions. See you on another thread.

So Lexi, what you are telling us us that the Greens are a total rabble, with no idea what they are doing, & no 2 of them with the same idea.

Voting Green is almost as bad as bad as voting independent, you have no idea of what they are likely to do, as they have no idea themselves.

Are there any 2 of them who agree with each other about anything, other than wanting power over us?

If money makers, make green.......and green things makes money out of nothing.........what happens when the two meet at the wrong end:)

Spend your vote very, very,.....carefully:)

Ive never tried CO2 as a new gas to breath:)

Your move.

When is Israel going to stop the theft of land and the slow genocide of the Palistinians?How many Palistinian lives are equa to one Israeli? Lee Rhiannon was right but Bob did not want to lose the votes.

As I said, I'm not discussing Israel. I'm discussing the Greens. I hope this thread will not be sidetracked.

Good points Lexi. I have done a bit more reading on this since Steven posted the thread.

Bob Brown has clearly stated he does not condone any sanction or boycotts on Israel. It is not Party policy.

It is interesting that Steven singles Bob Brown out for scrutiny when there are many more in politics who continually prove they have lost ground with conviction politics.

The Greens Policy states goals for both Israel and Palestine to live in peace and security in their own independent, sovereign state.
