Leoj, you seem to be suffering from some form of 'Sensory Processing Disorder', whereby the mentally ill person repeats the same phrase, often meaningless, over and over, Ad infinitum. In your case it is the worthless line;
"Greens, Eastern Bloc, watermelon, Trots", "Greens, Eastern Bloc, watermelon, Trots" on and on it goes.

Leoj, do you find yourself constantly tying and retying your shoelaces, possibly a hundred times a day? Either seek medical help at your institution, or try wearing slip on's. As for the, "Greens, Eastern Bloc, watermelon, Trots", "Greens, Eastern Bloc, watermelon, Trots", I suppose we will just have to put up with it until medical help arrives.

Paul,

Grow up!

Is that it Issy, a grow up! I expect a lot better from you. At least a "Paul you bloody nincompoop!"
Now I have let that slide, how about you answer my questions. I am forever answering yours.

Senator Rhiannon represents NSW, which elected her. Not the other States.

The spectacular implosion of the Australian Democrats came because the Senators in the party room forgot that each Senator represented his or her own State, on the basis of the party's publicly declared platform which opposed regressive indirect taxation, not a bunch of Oberstompenführers who had a stranglehold on the party's South Australian division and an eye to advancement as an ally of the Howard government.

If the Greens' party room, with that party's visceral antipathy towards democracy, seeks to override the NSW branch's role in informing Senator Rhiannon's approach in the Senate it is staring at a repeat of the Democrats' fate.

NSW 'Eastern Bloc' Greens? The differences with the rest of the party (and Australia!) are far more fundamental than that. 'Trots' and other extremist influences, anarchists, you name it, wild stuff. Been that way for years and always a problem. Barking mad and known for it. Like dragging a ship's anchor.

Just one example,

Egocentric one-trick ponies like Stott Despoya, made lucky by the events of the time, finally destroyed the Democrats. Don Chipp thought of others and was a team player.

".... my questions. I am forever answering yours"

Overstatement of the year!!
