Dear Shadow Minister,

According to an article on Lee Rhiannon in
The Australian and I quote: "There is no
evidence that Lee Rhiannon ever worked as
a Soviet agent. "

If you have an evidence to the contrary please
provide it.

I have nothing further to say on the subject.

//Many thanks for correcting my typo, if only others would so patiently research and correct mere slips of the finger//

I have been racking my brains to try and think of a word only one letter different from 'vellum' which refers to a well known slow-acting poison, and drawn a blank. It's like a particularly difficult crossword clue. What was it you were actually trying to type?

Foxy,

You claimed that Rhiannon was being judged on the actions of her parents, and that her flirtation was a youthful indiscretion.

If you read my post, I was rebutting this, I never claimed that Rhiannon worked as an agent. Her trips to Moscow and her meeting with KGB recruiters don't prove that she was an agent, but do prove that she was more superficially involved. The indisputable facts are that she was member of the local communist party, and wrote pro soviet articles for them for nearly 2 decades.

Apparently Vladimir Putin is also a charming person, perhaps Paul would invite him to join the greens too?

Toni,

I meant to type 'vallium', so I'm guilty of a normal typo and one of omission.
Vallium isn't in tne news these days so I can see your mystification; sorry.
I put it down t the fact that I'm using my wifs's computer and I'm no longer familiar with the 'qwerty' system, having used 'Davorak' for some thirty years.

Foxy,

You ask what do we have against the Greens, in my case I strongly object to their callous disregard for animal welfare; their disregard for the survival of native animals (despite claiming to be conservationists); their desire to see more youths involved in firearm accidents so as to further their totalitarian agenda of disarming all civilians; their desire to make life harder for the man and woman on the land and their utterly callous attitude towards the suffering of sheep and other farm animals that are mauled and mutilated by wild dogs and foxes.

Picture if you will a ewe treading on her own entrails after being savaged by a wild dog that the farmer couldn't save her from because he was hamstrung by a stupid Green's proposal, or a fox waiting patiently to snatch a new born lamb as it exits its weakened mother;
and picture the other fox that races ib and starts to tear at the ewe's uterine canal, ripping bits of the living flesh from the sheep and then leaving her to the crows and a lingering death.

That's a few of the reasons why I despise the Greens.

Shadow, trying to throw some mud. I ask about John Howard, who was given an honored position at the recent Liberal Party campaign launch, Turnbull even shook his hand, and made glowing comments about him. Howard in the 1970's was a leading political supporter (but not an active participant, we don't want to die now do we) of the Vietnam War. The war in which despotic puppet governments were installed in South Vietnam, with the backing of the Liberal Government in Australia, A war in which napalm was used by our side to kill innocent men, woman and children, a war in which many atrocities were committed by both sides. John Howard also famously said he was a great admirer of Robert Menzies, the same Robert Menziies, founder of the Liberal Party, who visited Nazi Germany in the 1930's and returned with glowing reports about Hitler and his fascists government.
Shadow, is the John Howard of 2016, the same John Howard of 1970? To be kind to John Howard, I think he would no longer support those evils, but I have no evidence, if we want to throw mud, we can just highlight some facts without comment.
