Fox, "Politicians cannot tell voters to tighten their belts - and that
the 'Age of entitlement' is over - while they themselves continue to indulge in their generous perks"

However you stop short of criticisng Greens Senator Larissa Waters who blew $414,000 outfitting an existing, pristine-condition, split-level building on Given Tce in Paddington. In hipster Paddington the executive suites are plush. Not good enough for Greens Senator Larissa Waters though. No roof top garden for her soirees, for starters.

Yet she presents as a young clone of Nancy Reagan in her dotage - lights on but no-one at home. If there is any departure from her script she is lost.

Foxy,

My understanding is that the vote for the Greens went up by a bit more than one per cent, while the vote for Labor went up by (correct me, please, if I'm wrong) 13-15 %. The LNP was on the nose but voters did not turn to the Greens. 10-11 % may be their natural 'class' limit.

It's fascinating, and surprising, to realise that the working class has almost never been particularly revolutionary, much more reformist - and that talk of 'revolution ', or drastic change, or millennial statements of that sort, are usually the preserve of the class upon which the Greens depend, the intellectuals, bureaucrats, public servants, teachers - the publicly-funded petty bourgeoisie. Even Marx and Lenin and Mao and Pol Pot and his cronies came from this class, so it's nothing new. The working class would sooner vote for Katter or Palmer, or even the LNP, than for the Greens or the Socialist Alliance with Terrorists, as is their right.

Just trying to put the Greens into some sort of perspective.

Love,

Joe

Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

I agree that the Queensland election was about
the LNP (not the Greens).

After all, the Greens
were not the ones holding power in the Queensland government.

It wasn't me that
brought up the "Green" vote - (although I imagine
that their preferences would probably have gone to
Labor).

The person who did
bring this up tried to point out the cost of what was spent
on a first time Greens' Senator's office fit-out - while making
excuses for the office fit-out of a South Australian Liberal
Senator's office fit-out that was by far - more expensive.

(It was in the country you know - was the given line, you'd think
thw cost would be less in that case - but of course it was
more expensive).
All absurd, and the usual predictable attempt at - diversion.

Best ignored.

Beach, your only upset because your party has to hold meetings in a damp and dingy basement in Tempe (HQ for Jim and Beach and their Aussie First Party) and not only don't you have any members in the Queensland parliament, you don't have any members in any parliament, council, club board, scouts, brownies, not even represented on a CWA committee. I can understand your envy and frustration.
Are you going to run in Newtown, Tempe is next door, almost.

Joe, you are letting your imagination run away with you, looking through your minds eye and trying to stereotype Green voters.

Is Mise there are no lies published on The Greens website, all relevant to the events of the day, and are kept as an historical record for future generations. The only one who lied was your man Tone, he came out with those claims and The Greens responded to the PM.End of story.

Paul,

"Is Mise there are no lies published on The Greens website, all relevant to the events of the day, and are kept as an historical record for future generations. The only one who lied was your man Tone, he came out with those claims and The Greens responded to the PM.End of story."

Abbott was misinformed by the AFP, who misinformed David Sandalplank?
Or was it just a bit of incompetence?
So Abbott was not telling a lie, he was stating something that he believed, on supposedly good authority, to be true.

The Greens do not have that excuse because over two hours before the Greens' lie the truth had been revealed.
It's not the end of the story because this lie will be kept for future reference along with other Green lies.

Tell me about the times that the Shooters' and Fishers' Party MPs have lied, or is that difficult/impossible?

Darn!
