SPQR I am flattered, but broken too.
My daily trip to markets in my area 2 today, keeps me broken.
Fellow travelers ALP members and voters, all feeling as I write here.
Some blinded by anti Abbottism, and fear of his incoming government, call for my head.
If one thing is true about politics it is this.
We, from both sides, MUST demand a clean out, and that we never again see such as Abbott and Gillard have served up.
First thing, IF WE CARE, *NEVER EVER VOTE GREEN*
Today they more than anything are responsible for our dysfunctional Parliament.
Further, not a new thought, for 5 years I have warned of NSW ALP filth,so lets build a prison just for the scum, and make it a harsh one.
I stand by my view we must act now on climate change or suffer for it.

First thing, IF WE CARE, *NEVER EVER VOTE GREEN* Belly you and I have clashed over these attacks countless times. Your paranoia, like so many in the ALP that the Greens are responsible for all the ills that beset the Party are wrong, dead wrong. The Labor Party is beset with a cancer from within and will achieve nothing by blaming us from without.
"for 5 years I (Belly) have warned of NSW ALP filth" for 5 years, only 5 years, the maggots were feeding on the party 30 years ago when I was a member and it wasn't Obeid, Macdonald etc then. The names have changed but its business as usually with the Sussex Street Mob. If the people of Australia were ever to known the full extent of Labor corruption at all levels of the party, and within the union movement, places where corruption is endemic, if they were to know the full history of that corruption your party would be lucky to win one seat on a local council. 5 years indeed, and I haven't even mentioned factionalism, a whole other story.
If you have a cancer, the way to treat it is not to shoot the bloke next door!

Oh! Belly there was me having a drink in the local pub last Thursday with a couple of other Greens and a couple of Liberal Party members. The Liberals are running a strong campaign to win the local Federal seat from Labor, they have a good chance. I might shock SM but I for one am not totally adverse to 'helping them out' with a no preference Labor deal, but must see what they have to offer at a local level first. One thing I learned from the Labor Party, noting for nothing. Why they would talk to me, I'm no big shot in The Greens but they know I will listen, unlike some, and they know my past history.

Morning Paul, first congrats on being able to find two more greens.
And drinking with the Libs?
You both drink in strange company.
No doubt you promised the world.
Doing that knowing you can not deliver is your party,s single policy.
Talk about climate change, being proud of drinking with the Torys.
Got it! they shouted did they not?
Paul if you wish both Wran and Sir Robin Askin stole more each, that the maggots you refer to.
I will be more impressed the day you look within the Circus tent known as the greens to be a critic.
Le Rianon, the extremist Marxist ,would be a start.
Mean while enjoy your needling, I am.
See you mob are dead why vote for a do nothing lost tribe of nude Morris dancers

Sorry, I thought the thread had run its course.
Grinned at indys view I am just anti Abbott.
He best not read the link
Apoplexy can be harmful to your health.
But due consideration MUST be given to its content.
I smell a change in the air, Abbott is not a sure bet.
You would think he will not be leader come election day.
But if he is?
Believe it or not Labor may beat him.

Belly, Thanks to your mob O'Farrell is well and truly calling the shots here in NSW, your boys are to busy trying to keep out of jail to be an effective opposition, it been left to The Greens to carry on the fight. Forced amalgamations of local councils is about to be put on the table, that's another fight, CSG open go looks the norm, another fight, development at all cost is Liberal philosophy, another fight, education, health, job all fight. Given 3 years of Abbottism (if he were to last that long) would be good for us Greens, the voters need to see Abbott in all his glory, that will be an real eye opener.
