The Greens are a very slack outfit, shamelessly refusing to be anything other than an untrustworthy, random, protest party when they were in partnership with Gillard, whose gender, class and culture wars should have been to the Greens liking.

As people age they are sure to have met some people in their work and private lives who are good at criticising others, being disruptive and are always out for themselves but never produce anything worthwhile at all. Worse, such forever-whining, *bleep*-stirring toxic communicators bring everyone down who listens to them.

Totally exasperated and revulsed by the grinding self-interest and gameplaying of senior Greens, Gillard went on record to declare that she always knew that the Greens were just an untrustworthy protest party and she regretted having to get into bed with them.

The wonder is that the media and particularly the ABC give the Greens such leeway and a free podium. It is rare for the media to ever subject Greens policies to any scrutiny. The Greens don't produce anything by design, but their policies still should be examined.

It is a great life for Greens politicians: just ride the bandwagon, bag government and business, lob the occasional grenade to get attention and no care and no responsibility at all.

o sung wu,

The last Green in the NSW Parliament that I can remember being a genuine conservationist and also a brave activist was Ian Cohen and the good that he attempted to do was constantly undermined by his fellow Green, but not fellow collaborator, Lee Rhiannon, she of the Watermellon faction that now controls the party.

"Lee Rhiannon"

A toxic communicator if there ever was one.

Bags everything and everyone, but is doing very well for herself out of that 'system' she so despises.

It is so easy being Green: nothing to do, nothing to produce and definitely no responsibility taken. Just ride those bandwagons and let the criticism rip!

Hi (again) IS MISE & ONTHEBEACH...

That's the problem here gentleman, generally these Greens have always been associated with issues of conservation, as their epithet implies. Of course, many of their initial conservation policies were quite reasonable ? That is until they thought themselves anointed authorities on everything, and harboured this ridiculous opinion of themselves, they're the only Party that can save both the State of NSW, and the Nation ?

Problem is many of their beliefs are founded purely on, imaginary and mythical material, much of it without any corroborated verification of fact. As evidenced by their erroneous conclusions and remarks associated with the Martin Place incident. Together with the assertion that the offender was licenced to possess F/A's. It is for this reason, one could never trust them with your vote !

At the last state election in NSW The Greens receivered over 450,000 votes more than three times the vote of The Shooters and Fishers Party. No wounder when you consider it is S&F Party policy to allow for SAVAGE HUNTING DOGS into public space where little innocent children are playing. The Greens have already exposed this mobs reckless Dodge City mentality on guns.

We (S&F Party) will introduce legislation to ensure that the use of dogs in the hunting of feral pigs. Totally reckless policy! what about the children?

When your thinking is to arm as many people as possible, such action can only lead to disaster. This crack pot statement from S&F

"Establishing the ‘genuine reason’ of Family and Personal Protection for lawful possession of a firearm."

What on earth is genuine reason? For some it could be to shut up a noisy neighbor on a Sunday morning. 'Genuine reason' open to loose interpretation.

Paul,

Just tell us what the sentence really means,

"7. That personal protection should never be regarded as a genuine reason for owning, possessing or using a firearm."

you obviously know English, and while you're at it tell us how you'd humanely cull animals.
Let us say that a grazier has 5,000 sheep and the country and particularly his property is badly drought affected.
He has to slaughter at least 1,000 of his flock; what's your (Green) humane solution?
