LOL, all of those posts to divert discussion away from the Greens.

The Greens are presently doing what a protest party does, they are blocking a democratically elected government from fulfilling its mandate. Carbon tax again: attention-seeking, headline-hunting stuff and impractical as usual.

Just one area where the Greens similarly frustrated and exasperated the previous Labor Rudd and Gillard governments.

It is a nonsense to include the Greens Watermelons with minor parties. The Greens are simply a small group of clever, comfortably-off middle class politicians who have found a way to get elected without having any real policies that can be integrated into a coherent whole - just a changing list of complaints and idealism. They have almost nothing in common with other minor parties.

And we have such "aspirational" policies from the
current government. The quality of their polices
is absolutely "visionary." As Peter Costello stated
"These days politics is more about gaining and
holding office than using office to improve things
for the better."

The public are fed rehearsed lines, and know it.

Yes - the Greens are looking better all the time -
and undoubtedly the Fabians, aka Socialists, aka, Feminists,
aka Marxists, aka, aka, aka, aka (Polly Want a Cracker?),
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah - will vote Green - just to
annoy the rest of those decent, conservative, "real" Australians!

Foxy,

Don't be so silly, given that all the things you want an enquiry for are fully documented and available, the enquiry is pointless and a "fishing expedition". An enquiry into union corruption which is by nature covert promises to unearth a bonanza.

Foxy either you are too one eyed or ignorant to grasp this. Either that or you approve of union corruption?

The Greens must be doing a tip top job. Beach is as mad as hell, made a post and no mention of the Fabians, aka International Socialists ake Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, its all the work of those nasty Green Watermelons! Yeah! you better believe it, Beach the Watermelons are on the march!

Paul1405,

You would know, since you claim Trotskyist Green Lee Rhiannon (Brown) as your guru and the very limp but equally hard left David Shoebridge as a personal mate. LOL

Lee Rhiannon, Shoebridge and the Watermelon faction,
<Labor observer foresees factional divisions in the Greens
Joe Kelly, The Australian, October 22, 2013 M

HARD Left Greens senator Lee Rhiannon and her forces, dubbed the watermelon faction, have seized greater control of the NSW branch in a move some fear could influence the future direction of the party.

Hall Greenland, the failed Greens federal candidate in Anthony Albanese's Sydney seat of Grayndler, was elected state convener at the NSW Greens' annual general meeting at the weekend.

Controversial NSW upper-house member David Shoebridge also won an influential position, elected the parliamentary representative to the Greens' national conference, which develops the party's policy platform.

One Greens source said Mr Greenland and Mr Shoebridge were part of the watermelon faction - green on the outside and red on the inside - rather than the "tree-hugging camp".

They placed a greater emphasis on grassroots activism rather than on a centralised statewide approach to campaigning.

Along with Senator Rhiannon, the pair is seen to be sympathetic to the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel, although Mr Greenland has not promoted the movement>

There is no way in hell that the Greens Watermelons Protest Party ought ever be put into the same basket as the small independent parties.

Beach, still pushing that bit of old Murdoch inspired scuttlebutt from yesteryear. Calling David 'hard left' hardly, a very nice family man with a couple of very lovely children. You only know what you read in the 'Murdoch Fish Wrapper' and they are not going to be flattering to The Greens, are they?
As for Lee, a Trotskyist! that will automatically bar her from The Fabians, only Satanists allowed.

Beach, are you an admirer/supporter of Jim Saleam? He seems to be you kinda guy!
