@ Belly:

In response to my suggestion that people get their information about the Greens' policies from their official site, you responded with some nonsense about Greens' defense policy being for Australia to "stand ALONE if war comes", which I showed could only be a distortion of the Greens' policy that demands that we only enter into treaties with States that comply with accepted international humanitarian standards. The other examples you gave are equally distorted and embellished. If you didn't derive those 'policies' from the MSM, you certainly didn't get them from the Greens' website, where all their policies, structures & philosophies are available for easy perusal.

Come on mate, you reckon you know Greens policy, but I've just demonstrated that you don't, and that you haven't bothered to base your extreme antipathy to the Greens on anything much beyond hearsay and misplaced Party loyalty.

Here's a deal for you: I'll answer your questions when you can show that you've actually read the Greens' relevant policies firsthand.

@ SM:

Every Party has social and economic policies that redistribute income. Wasn't the Howard government the biggest taxing government in Australia's history? According to your spin, that must make them socialist.

All:

The pathological obsession that the 'major' parties and their apologists have with asylum seekers continues to demonstrate what pathetic parodies of their former selves they have become. Today awe saw history made as 9 Green Senators took their place in government. If the LNP and ALP continue their vapid race to the moral bottom, expect to see many more.

"Love your sense of humour, you should ask Col how he feels about homosexuals before asking why he wouldn't see Bob Brown as a reasonable PM."
Whats the point, lord Col only visions his own type of trash mouth politics, but even he has them all worked out to a tee.

"Both sides are about winning elections."

And your quote above is exactly the only motives politicians have, and their own families well being. We the workers make them the money their fat arses feed upon while the rest of us are constantly bombarded with LIES CORRUPTION and sending the very people they claim to serve, into a spiraling nose dive of depression and out right extreme stress. Rising costs of living will result in the currant crime explosions QLD and other states are in-countering, and as everyone knows, STRESS effects the entire human condition.

I ask just to give the greens ago. No party has polices everyone agrees with, however he has vision and the balance of power to stop the one-way problems we see, when one of the two party preferred are voted in.

With all due respect, just about everything the greens do is directed towards income re distribution under the "social justice" banner.

And Iam into the same "social justice" whether Gay rights, the environment, equal-rights for all you could thing of, and that's Australian I recon....and calling people fags, wogs, perverts , green scum, right and left winged morons, up myself attitudes that you get from the yuppy 4x4 clowns, city slickers that wouldn't know one end of a cow from the other, rednecks, and the lists goes on that mostly country label others just because of a difference of opinion.

Talk about adult-children.....does the words grow up mean anything?

Gezzz Col calm down son:) just because I don't hang down the pub, or think Iam some kind of macho hero, don't make people GAY or anything else for that matter, and I would appreciate it, if others can hold off from making fools of themselves to myself and family.

I have quite a think skin, but threats, defamation of character or any mob rule will be delta with......and that just sum up what some people do just to get their pathetic little kicks out of life, and I see this done to many in Australia and if you do it, your just a moron.

Arrrrrrrr Iam going for a beer:)

Ah, at last the reds, the anarchists, the protest vote, animal
liberation and a few other odds and sods, finally have a home!

According to the Weekend Australian, one of the new
senators was supporting the old Soviet Union even after the
Berlin wall had fallen. Then red suddenly turned green for
her, which of course gives you brown.

So now we have Kumbayah politics with not an economically
literate bone between them. Too funny!

Policies I mean say:) and thuck skin hey Ammonite;)
