Privileged, well-to-do and with guaranteed incomes and entitlements now and forever, courtesy of the public. The upper crust. They lead very different lives and have vastly different, privileged futures to those they rely on for support.

<...Rhiannon and Shoebridge, a former industrial relations barrister, both own $2 million-plus homes in Sydney's eastern suburbs, according to parliamentary records and real estate data, and Rhiannon in particular has lucrative public pension pots from state and federal parliaments.

Still, the pair have aligned themselves with the "eastern bloc" or "watermelon" faction (green on the outside, red in the middle) that dismisses environmentally-minded, middle class Greens like Di Natale as "tree tories".>

Leo, jealousy and envy are terrible sins, even for a parrot such as yourself, who cuts and pastes the same drivel time and time again. Be thankful for your flea infested bedsit wherever you reside. One day you too might own a $2 million mansion in the Eastern Burbs of Sydney. But at aged 95 you might have left you run a little late. Now take an extra large dose of Mylanta, I know how upsetting all this can be for you, and off to bed.

p/s Welcome to the forum. I love you already.

They will only burn 1 ton before the Elvis helicopter does an Australia Day volunteer flag back-burn life-saver mercy dash for asthma sufferers. To conserve the strategic integrity of its environment, China has drawn up a system of 'Red Lines' for its Green energy policy reducing coal-boom and oil-powered thongs for the birth of a cancer-free nation.

Wealthy Greens such as Shoebridge and Lee Rhiannon who enjoy lifetime security through their taxpayer funded parliamentary benefits and entitlements and will never want for anything, are hypocrites to criticise the political system, the income earners and country that keep them in clover and safety.

Hypocrisy: Lee Rhiannon's ad hominem abusive attack on Australia's wealthiest woman, miner Gina Rinehart, could just as easily apply to Rhiannon herself, for example,

"Gina Rinehart’s utterances are often a reminder that wealth too often goes hand in hand with arrogance and greed" and,

"Ms Rinehart’s comments are another example of the crude self interest that has become her hallmark. She is out of touch with the life of most Australians who are working to pay off their mortgage, manage health costs and ensure their children are happy and secure"

However, Rinehart's future depends on market forces and her own initiative, unlike wealthy Greens politicians who ride on the back of the taxpayer.

To be blunt, what would wealthy Greens, Lee Rhiannon especially, with $millions in property and not one but two gold cards courtesy of the taxpayer know about lower income earners and people on fixed incomes and pensions?

Many might believe that Greens Lee Rhiannon and Shoebridge, who is hanging from her coat tail and slavishly copying her political formula, are simply out for themselves and on a power trip.

Paul,

In your "humourous" posts re the Shooters's, Fishers' and Farmers' party MsP you have so far neglected to tell us about their Parliamentary Entitlement rorts.

Is this because you can't find a reference to them?
Is it because they haven't cheated the taxpayer or is it just because they are honest men?

Tell you what, you list the dishonest thieving from the taxpayer that SF&F MsP have done and I'll put up a few that the Greens are guilty of.

Has Sarah Hanson-Young paid back the $18,000 + that she over spent on the last election?

Hi Is Mise,

So you want to play a game of tit for tat do you? When it comes to the Shooters and Hooters Party I would much prefer to concentrate on their advocacy for environmental destruction, than some petty cash grab they may be making. Since you equate everything in dollar terms, if given their way what these environmental wreckers would cost society is millions in damage, simply to satisfy some perverse pleasures of theirs, and yours!
