Bob Brown for PM?

Sir O .... it appears that you have forgotten to add in the obligatory addage of /taking the p!ss in your last post. Some of us here might take you seriously and become deeply offended by your whimsical approach to such gay abandon.

Yes you are correct and I am deeply mortified that my lack of the /taking the p!ss tag was remarked upon.

I thought my examples were so outrageous and over the top that no one could be fooled into thinking they were in any way serious. I apologise deeply for making you cut the bums out of all your pants and having you get blisters on your knees practising kneeling in front of your new Gay overlords.

Alas the world keeps making bigger fools.

/cheeky bugger mode


Cheers

Sir O
 
Bob Brown for PM ?

And why not. He seems to be calling the shots. He is now calling the resources tax a "wealth tax". From establishing a wealth tax the next step would be a death or inheritance tax.

Is his next aim to be part of a coalition government and there by become deputy PM. Not out of the list of possibilities. With the help of the left side of the Labor party he would be able to paint Australia with a new shade of red.

Remember you were warned about it here.
 
Interesting to realise Bob Brown was a founding patron of Bush Heritage Australia as conservation is absolutely necessary . He looked quite relaxed sipping tea at his house created from Australian quarries and forests. Funny how people like to tell others what they can and cannot have once they have it themselves.
 

Bit like when John Howard said people dont need guns for protection, yet he was always surrounded by men with guns..... strange that
 
The Wilderness Society (TWS) original head office in Davey St (Hobart) did for many years burn wood for heating.

To be fair though, opposing hydro-electricity was their original key policy (they were actually in favour of cutting trees 30 years ago - true) and the wood fire plus minimal lighting in the building did keep power consumption down. There was a single 40W fluoro in each room and I think it's still the same today (though they've probably changed the tubes for 36W I'd assume).

For those not aware, TWS, UTG (the somewhat inappropriately named United Tasmania Group), Bob Brown himself, The Independents, Tasmanian Greens and the Australian Greens were for a very long time effectively all as one in a manner far closer than even Labor and the unions. More recently there's been something of a split involving TWS (which itself seems to have quite a lot of internal turmoil at times).
