The Greens have lost the plot, they have a 3% swing away from them.

So the Melbourne member says my victory is a vote that people don't agree with the other party's policy on refugees.

There leader Christine Milne blames it on "We recognise that there are some people who are disappointed by all of the shenanigans in the Labor Party and that some of that has rubbed off on the Greens.

otb,

Much as I appreciate your attempts to
get my attention - you really need to
actually read my posts and try to
comprehend what was being said before you respond.

That wasn't what I said.

Thanks anyway.

How are you Belly. Long time no speak.
We need a strong but non destructive opposition and the Labor party now is it.
It is essential it reinvents itself so as to provide a viable alternative as there is no other party that can do this job at this point in time.
Destructive politics serves no purpose in a democracy such as ours and if the intent of any party is to wipe out its opposition totally we no longer live in a democracy.
The main game of political parties is to serve the people and the country, war games between each other is not part of the brief in my opinion.
It would be nice to have no parties at all but that is never going to happen so we need to ensure we have the best outcome possible. These last three years especially has shown us just how base and mediocre our political parties have become. They, both parties, all parties, need to lift their game.

shaggers/quote..<<..strong but non destructive opposition..>>

funny..how tony decided opposition..to mean..opposing
its a tried and true..method..why

cause kim besilly..agreed..wasnt destructive..
in fac..the thought he was running interferrance..for govt
ie we then..,had no opposition..

with kim..having to defend..
the other parties policy
ie..no difference

i recall..krudd..did the me too
and fell..into..howards 20 billion trap

i feel dont put in your best bat
put in a safe pair of hands..or a night watchman

we must see an open/fair/long sorting out process
john..didnt look/like a pm..till..he got rid of his thick black glasses

cream..rises to the top
only after the stirring stops

so..first we need a temp/op/leader
till the people.. plus caucus..either nominate/vote..a consensus..all can get behind

too much talent
but..we cant afford ego..but dont want yes meneither

opposition..is about taking the opposing side..
in..a fair debate..we need real opposition..

watching the bar stewards/
keeping political PROCESS..honest open.
