Knobby specifically requested glib comment. Gettest thou a dictionary.

You accuse me of telling lies ?

Good riddance. :

~~~~~~~~~~

Just youtubed Christine Milne. The Greens are screwed as per noted similarities with the Australian Dumbocrats.

Yeah, I kind of agree with this. The greens will now dwindle and pass into obscurity like the Democarats without Don Chip.

As a Green on the inside I can assure you that that is a very immature and uninformed comment.

Get used to it Pal, the Greens are here to stay, and because we think outside the square for all we will save the planet, if of course it is not too late already.

Wake up.

He has done what we all with the wisdom of our experience and age do, hand over the reins.

I will pay that. He has done the one thing John Howard would not!!

No.

I accuse you of not understanding the English language.

No.

Of course, that's for the Pom's (and I do have some very good English friends by the way) I am a fourth generation Australian.

You need to come out of the mist and stop talking, in laugh up your sleeve at those who see things in another way, shorthand.

And we are both off topic.

Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

Having done his job remarkably well and sown the seeds of immortality by his outstanding example he will inspire generations to come.

How sickening. This is his real legacy;

And finally, let us not forget that Brown’s real legacy is a very bad one for the nation. He has used his influence to impose a carbon tax, waste massive amounts of taxpayers’ money on inefficient and ineffective green energy schemes, and to impose a ridiculous media inquiry among a range of other policy distractions. The Greens have been anti-development, anti-business and constantly disruptive when it comes to intelligent discussion of foreign policy and other issues. In the end Brown’s political career must be judged on how he has impeded economic progress rather than how he has enlivened a fringe protest movement.

And this is the piece of work you claim as your messiah.

It had to start somewhere.

It has you upset to the extent that you and your ilk are sitting up taking notice and are right into the debate. I am pleased with that and to be a part of it with you.

This and the many the other debates on this subject will identify the flaws of the carbon system and from here we will begin to gradually find new ways to alternative energy that is cleaner and more efficient and then to a better world with exiting opportunities for the creative.

Bob's legacay will be that he had another ways of looking at things that will prove to be better in my view for all of us.

Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

I had to laugh when Cristine Milne said something about improving the Greens standing in 'the bush'. Having lived in the country for many years all I can say is good luck with that . She might start with not referring to it as 'the bush' which is not looked upon kindly by those that live in regional areas

Bob's legacay will be that he had another ways of looking at things that will prove to be better in my view for all of us.

Yes, other totally impractical ways.

Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

... Abbot spare me, who could only say on the telly tonight "I think the Greens are in for a turbulent time" what a waste of space, you badly need a new leader in the Libs....

Can't handle the truth from Abbott? I suspect he is spot on with his comments. Time will tell.

And I've never heard you call Gillard a waste of space despite some painfully repetitive comments and badly pronounced words.

Was born and bred in the bush myself on a farm and have stayed in touch with it for my entire 66 years. Many farmers today are in the greens as they can see by direct observation what is going on with season's and the climate.

Many politicians use that ordinary term so what.

Those in regional areas call us in town "city slikers". who cares

Getting back to Bob, real good change comes from just that accepting and making change. Having worked for five years in a research and development department of a large organisation for five years I learned that the good ideas come from about 10 or more outlandish stupid ones. A bit like share trading trends as I do, for every one good trade there is about four duds but with a good stop system you gain more on those good ones for overall profit. In research you learn that the real breakthroughs come at the philosophical level, often as a way out idea first which it is filtered with debate and handed down till developed into its practical application.

Bob was a philosophical visionary through which some of the ideas will continue to be distilled into ways for practical application.

Hope that he enjoys the good retirement that is deserved for his contribution and pleased that he has left us with so much in which we can work on for a better world.

Not only is she a waste of space, she and the ALP are a liability.

And Abbot........., thank goodness we have the Greens coming onto the scene

I never credited you as having a sense of humour Plod... that was very funny.

Water is a plentiful liquid through which with some barley and yeast will continue to be distilled into ways for practical malt whisky.

Bob was all water, no barley and no yeast. His ideas are all in the negative and anti-worker and farmer.

WOW - Explod - you're a real Bob fan! I have nothing against dreamers and visionaries (most of us were at one time). The real question which most of us are concerned about is how much damage you do in the process. I suspect your comments are also acknowledging that, conceding he's had a few corny turns.

Bob was in the place where he did the most damage, as defacto PM, and his legacy will be trashed as a result. He needed to be like Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Confucius, and (dare I say it) your good self. Enact change from the ground up. There's so much pie in the sky dreaming involved in thinking that we could save the world by giving up a polluting industry and not think that some 3rd world country will double or triple that by making the same widget. Anyway, enough from me - Explod - I expect you will do just that (Explode) in response now.

Regarding Bob's retirement, let me be completely cynical and say Bob's a man who knows a climax when he sees/feels one, and the passing of the carbon tax was a huge climax. He's also a man who knows that he can't climax twice, so going now is his best chance to preserve his legacy. How much wit and intelligence would it take for Milne to block any Act to repeal the carbon tax? She already reminds me of bulldog on a meat truck.

Just stand in the middle of the crop circle Bob. Your work on Earth is done, and your time is up. It's time for us to bring you home. "Beam him up, Scotty"

Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

I don't visit this thread a lot (try to avoid the extremes of the ASF right) but have to say that reading over today posts leaves me with a most unpleasant feeling.

Amazing how the Loony right can take such joy in the departure of a "true believer" perhaps its because the right has no such talent and dedication to the cause....i pity the sad and pathetic posters that want to twist and spin the gracious exit of a peoples champion and seek to turn it into something else.

He's 67 FFS and seeks to have a life after politics...unlike Johnny Howard who didnt know when it was time. WD BB and thanks for your contribution.

That's the problem with "true believers" - they can do so much damage because it's all an article of faith.

I dunno about joy at Bob's departure, I really wanted him to stick around to see the damage.

But I suspect we'll hear more about Bob's "gracious exit" in days and weeks to come...

No you take joy in his departure because your a right wing zealot with the political vision and insight of a feather and down pillow.
