I suppose the Greens have one saving grace.

It gives us somewhere to file all the nuts, so we can at least keep track of them.

But Haz, you condemn politicians of all persuasions as nutters!

In fact, there isn’t a single pollie that don’t totally deride, is there??

I’ve asked you this a couple of times before with no answer ensuing: who do you support? Anybody?

there are many voters who actually agree with Greens policy, and vote for us,
Paul 1405,
Yes they vote for you but who supports you ? The australian taxpayers who don't vote for you, that's who !
How many members do you have who actually make their own living away from the Government purse ?

I would love to know of which particular Greens policy the Conservatives disagree. So far all we hear about is global governments and the like which, c'mon we all know is shite.

Other than the usual protests against the Carbon Tax (a one-time Abbott policy) which policies do you particularly dislike.

The major parties could take a leaf out of the Greens book on many issues including diplomacy and war prevention through a fairer and more egalitarian approach.

What is so bad about denouncing self-serving interests for the sake of reducing poverty, protecting the environment of which we all depend, and a fairer distribution of resources. We are not talking through force but through cooperation and assistance rather than the 'take take' mentality of which the world is afflicted.

You are obsessed with public servants. There is nothing wrong with earning a living from the public purse. The public service is called that because it provides a service.

I am sure at some stage in your life you have utilised those services in hospital, using the roads, public transport or calling for help from a policeman not to mention a defence force that will defend our shores in the event of an attack.

Sure there is waste, unfortunately when governments go on a wastehunt it is not usually the dead wood that goes but the very essential frontline people that provides services direct to the public. They have the least power and no influence on decision making.

Rather than generalising about public servants overall I reckon your views would be better served by providing more detailed objections rather than a full frontal attack.

Ajay...your words are well understood and the Greens still have a long way to go. Bob Browns work in saving the Franklin river plus, I would of thought Australian of the year should be appointed. 67 years old....and to move aside for others with his passion is a holding point for all Australians that love the fair-go. The Environment.... (which should come before all matters concerning money and wealth, which the Greens supporters understand fully well)......and all can be cynical of pollies movements from time to time, but over all, I think a standing ovation is the least we can do for him.
