Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

It makes you wonder about the ethical standards of Green voters when they vote in such a nasty character as Lee Rhiannon to the Senate.

New Greens senator Lee Rhiannon continued to attract controversy, with union boss Paul Howes accusing her of misrepresenting his past politics in a weekend interview in an effort to distract attention from her own hardline pro-Moscow communist past.

Senator Rhiannon claimed the Australian Workers Union head had shut down the operations of the NSW Treasury as part of an occupation when he was a young Trotskyite activist.

"I'm not quite sure where Treasury is and maybe I protested outside it, but I'm certain I never occupied it," Mr Howes said in a letter to Senator Rhiannon obtained by The Australian. He added that he had publicly written off his "brief flirtation with far-left politics as a folly of youth".

"Unlike you, I was never employed by any group receiving funding from dictatorships like the Soviet Union."

I had a good read of the story and must say my jaw dropped.....stupid uni arts degree girl (sorry hope i don't offend and if i did....) so she can back up her comment with the wind data around whyalla over the last 50 years that would back her claim and i bet see doesn't know about the solar array that is being built across the road from one steel, that i have seen and appears to be a renewable project for the area...(can't remember the co or where exact it will be set up but have driven past many times) and why can't there be a transition and assistance to one steel to supplying steel to the renewables....engineering firms could start up and manf. them..... job creation sh%@ what a radical idea that is:rolleyes::twak:

Well either there is a large Leninist minority in Oz... or a large "let's save the world" naivette.
 
Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

With all this power going to his head (Bob Brown), be careful not to piss him off....

Something like this might happen to you one day....(abuse of powers)

That's no good as there would be a high concentration of CO2 going past the blades.

Oops,

Sorry,

Greens don't exhale CO2.

This alone shoots the whole thing to pieces.

Whyalla will thrive on wind (supposedly).

And the steel will be produced overseas instead, meaning that emissions have simply been relocated from one country to another. Add in the extra shipping and the end result is emissions go up, not down.

A fantastic plan to increase emissions. Not even the most ardent coal supporter would go that far...
 
Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

The wind is coming from the east at about 5 knots per hour and out of Bob Browns @rse at about 20. That should keep the fans spinning for a looooooong time.

Brown's brimming confidence and new sense of power even inspired him to challenge Queensland Labor's John Hogg for the job of Senate President - a genuinely choice job which includes some of the best digs in Parliament, rooms so palatial they're used by the Queen when she visits.

I couldn't believe that when I read it. Mr Brown is starting to have seriously troubling delusions of grandeur. It might be a while before he is disabused of this, but oh, how I'm looking forward to it when it happens.

And no doubt with an equally impressive carbon footprint to run it.

Shivering in dark caves doesn't apply to alarmists as we see time and time again.

Apparently alarm calls from Green sentries are devined to echo better from the vantage of Ivory Towers..... :cool:
 
Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

Bob Brown wants to bring our troops back from Afghanistan. Gillard and Stephen Smith both said yesterday that it was in the "national interest" that they remain there. They don't say, but I suppose the "national interest" is to cozy up to America.

This does not sit too well with Bob Brown who hates America. I wouldn't bet on us staying the distance.
 
Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

This deal tells you everything about the Greens. Having relentlessly attacked the logging industry in Tasmania, two Greens now pick up the Triabunna mill - for $6M less than what somebody else was prepared to pay.

Suddenly, the evil mill site is now suitable for '..making way for a wine and tourism development at the prime coastal site, which has a deep harbour suitable for cruise ships..'

Logging off: mill deal saves native forests
Self-made multi-millionaires Jan Cameron and Graeme Wood yesterday bought the Triabunna native forest woodchip export mill on Tasmania's east coast from timber giant Gunns for $10 million.
