I agree that Milne "Top shelf tosser and a generally nasty piece of work."

I note that my original head line of "Christine Milne resigned after suffering sudden stabbing back pains" was shortened. I for one don't believe for an instant that CM's decision to resign was voluntary. I believe that her constant negativity in opposing everything incl indexing the fuel excise the ETS etc and her complete inability to deliver results got the rest of the loonies up in arms. I'm sure that if Crusty turned around that you would see the boot print of Dick Dinner Tally on her ample bottom.

I take it from Dinner Tally's announcement that he wants to move the greens from being just a fringe whinge party to being more central and taking on the Labor party. I will enjoy watching them devour each other.

Business as usual, fungal Green.

My word the venom certainly comes out when there is any chance of the antigreens putting the boot in.
I am sure that Kevin Andrews will be long forgotten when people look back at the disgusting antics by the major two parties and Christine Milne will be long remembered for being a steadying influence at this time.
She will be remembered for trying to bring a semblance of sanity to the AGW problem when it is seen that it was too little too late.
Keep on buying your mega mansions, driving your fuel guzzlers, filling your time with electronic gimmicks and as the extreme weather events destroy more of your ridiculous "infrastructure" and you start to wonder where your next meal is coming from, you too will remember her.
Thanks Christine for doing your best for us undeserving swill that we are.

Apparently the Greens evoke hate and general nastiness from some of the posters to olo. Labor and the Coalition don't like to be questioned. They agree on racing to the bottom to demonise asylum seekers. They also agree to serve the interests of corporate Australia. They agree that they wish no challenges to their dominance.

I feel good about being a Green and don't return the hate. I feel we are working for a more just Australia and hope the major parties will have some regard for the environment.

Senator Milne has served 25 years in Australian
politics, being elected to the Tasmanian Parliament
in 1989 and becoming the first woman to lead a
parliamentary party in Tasmania in 1993. She was elected
to the Senate in 2004, elected Deputy Leader of the
Australian Greens 2008 and Leader in April 2012.

The Greens have gone from strength to strength with
solid election results and a growing engaged membership.

What I particularly liked about the Senator is that she
was a coherent, straight-talking political leader. She
was able to marshall facts and present them along with
the likely consequences. The Greens is a party that has
appeared sane and focused - unlike others in the
current political mess that exists today. She promised a
more cabinet-style, collaborative approach to leadership
and her colleagues responded. Unlike some other political
leaders that we could name.

She's turning 62 this year - and is about to become a
grandmother. She deserves to be able to spend more time
with her family. She's earned that right - having
served this country well. Her replacement is a good choice
and will appeal to many people on the mainland.

Well Done Greens!

Shadow Minister presents an accurate view from the far right. He is effectively saying: "I do not understand their policies - but I thoroughly enjoy trashing people". It is akin to the well published manifestos from far right think tanks like the Marshall Institute, Heartland and our local Galileo Movement and IPA. Servicing "self" is the prime objective. Serving community is anathema.
