Dear SPQR,

It should be obvious even to you that WA Greens
Senator Scott Ludlam who was able to show the major
parties how it should be done must have had a good
name - in order to win the seat. The voters thought
so!

You must mean disaffected Labor voters, Foxy.

What Ludlam does has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Unless using you are comparing Ludlam's more modest electorate office with the prestigious and very expensive pad that was chosen by Greens senator Larissa Waters in Paddington, Brisbane.

Greens senator Larissa Waters and her staff are remaining zipper-lipped as to what could possibly have cost $414,000 to 're-fit' her already pristine suite. Maybe she was hoping that long weekends would make the public forget.

If there is nothing to hide and The Courier Mail somehow got it wrong, the simple, obvious, right thing to do is give the public the facts and set the record straight. What possible reason could there be for the secrecy?

...and Al Capone was framed by the FBI!

Is Mise, refers to the same Boyle who was lanced by the NSW State Government following an independent investigation into the activities of the NSW Game Council. The investigation was instigated following questions being raised in the NSW Legislative Council by The Greens. Featuring prominently in that investigation which resulted in the sacking of the NSW Game Council was its head, one Brian Boyle.

If I was looking for someone who had been wronged by The Greens, I certainly wouldn't pick Brian Boyle. Instead of condemning The Greens over Boyle, you should be commending them.

otb,

Disaffected Labor voters?

No. The Liberal Party did no good either with
the campaigning styles of Michaela Cash and Julie
Bishop offering nothing more than matching outfits
and bouffant hairstyles. The voters found something
to admire in Greens Senator Ludlam whose grassroots
campaign got through. Voters were looking for
authenticity and vision. The same type of
authenticity and vision that apparently
voters saw and admired in Greens Senator Larissa Waters.
It got her elected. A good grassroots campaign from a
good candidate always wins the day. And most voters don't
seem to begrudge a first time senator her office. As long
as she continues to do a good job. Which I'm sure she
will along with the other Greens senators - whose numbers
have now increased in the Senate.

What prevents Greens senator Larissa Waters from making a public statement?
