Greens senators Christine Milne and Lee Rhiannon, who have built their careers demanding openness and transparency, argue that official Treasury costings of the party's policies must remain secret despite the process being funded by taxpayers.

The greens trademark is calling for transparency for others, but keeping their business secret. The closed party meetings etc. Just another case of breathtaking hypocrisy. This time their government alliance partner is backing them up.

The libs are good at that also.

So is Labor, Labor has never submitted its policies for costing in opposition.

Don't take notice of anything printed in a Murdoch fish wrapper. Do you have anything from a reliable source.

Paul,

I know that the greens hate most of the free media incl Fairfax and Newscorp for not publishing the Greens version of the truth, but perhaps you could explain which of these points raised in these articles are not correct:

The greens have continually called for transparency and the release of costings.
The greens with the help of labor have ensured that the greens costings remain a secret.
The conclusion that the greens are hypocrites is self evident.

Can you show any different?

Come on SM, you are referring to costings in relation to the recent state by election for the seat of Melbourne. It was not a decision taken by the Greens but one by the Labor government after being given independent advice. The story was only picked up by the Merdoch fish wrapper no one else in the media was interested in the story. Your bloke was looking for some dirt, sorry none to be found. What we really need to know is Coalition policy and costings well before the next election. Will it be like last time when the Coalition would not give Treasury the necessary information to do costings?
P/s We all know heads would roll at Nonewscorp Ltd if they started publishing the true, sorry I must apologise they do publish some truths they get the footy score right most of the time and who won last nights races at Dapto dogs. When it comes to truth, Murdoch's fish wrappers should stick to what the do best, football and dog racing. I'll give you some credit at least you didn't point me to a story by that pimply faced teeenybopper from The Daily Telecrap, Gemma Jones or some dribble by Piles Akerman.
