Paul 1405,

$414,000 is a lot of money to many Queenslanders.

What prevents a reply to The Courier Mail and the public?

It should be simple, but not so, apparently.

Beach, Good Buddy, I don't know what Greens policy in Queensland is when it comes to the Murdoch gutter press. Here in NSW the party feels there is no compulsion to reply to lying garbage written by Murdoch Toady's that regularly appears in 'The Telecrap' and 'The Un-Australian'. This garbage is written in an attempt to discredit the good name of The Greens and its representatives.
Any constituent that make inquires are give prompt and proper reply. Why don't you try asking the Senator yourself?

It is good that you find so many inventive excuses for Greens senator Larissa Waters.

Because the Greens senator and her electoral staff have steadfastly ignored The Courier Mail report and the public.

The same Greens senator is red-hot on demanding public disclosure from others and is a prolific user of social media to do that. However sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander where the Greens are concerned.

"This garbage is written in an attempt to discredit the good name of The Greens and its representatives."

Good name of the greens! ROTFL

Has anyone heard about the Greens having a good name?

WA Greens Senator Scott Ludlam shows the major parties
how it should be done.
