Doc, I don't think I will be the most popular boy amongst the Greens today after posting #8148 on the CLIMATE HYSTERIA THREAD.
They will most likely still persist that our CO2 emissions on Earth has caused the Sun to blink....ROFL.

Bob Brown has risen from the ashes showing concern for the party he founded.
The Greens are in decline and have not done as well as they expected with their new leader Di Natalie.
They failed to gain another seat in the lower house and will lose one and maybe two in the Senate.
It is now a proven fact the Greens are far removed from their environmental shadow and their hidden agenda is now being exposed for what they really stand for and it is not good..
Lee Rhiannon is a communist ..Is now and always will be.

In the July 2 election the Greens did not do as well as they hoped. They suffered a swing in the Senate that has cost them one of their 10 spots and put another at risk. In the lower house they lifted their primary vote, but the inner-city seats they targeted — such as Grayndler in NSW and Batman in Victoria — proved beyond their grasp, leaving Adam Bandt as their sole member.
This was not what was supposed to happen under the new, more pragmatic party leader, Richard Di Natale. His hope was that rising electoral support could be parlayed into a seat at the table of government.
What the Greens do about their lacklustre election result is in the final analysis a matter for them, but they cannot lightly dismiss the verdict of party co-founder Bob Brown.
“They need a clean-out in NSW,” Mr Brown is quoted as saying in the August edition of The Monthly. “The people who have been for decades running the NSW Greens need to do what I did: retire and make way for new blood and people more in tune with the electorate in 2016.”
In NSW, Lee Rhiannon is associated with the Left faction known as the Eastern Bloc (she used to be a member of the pro-Soviet Socialist Party of Australia).
There is a leftist strain in the Greens that is deeply ambivalent about democratic politics. It looks to extra-parliamentary activism as the force for radical change in line with utopian aims. This shows in some party preselections. Part of the problem is a failure to come to grips with the record of communism as one of the bloodiest failures in history. Senator Rhiannon tells The Monthly that those in the old Communist Party “made a great contribution to this country”. She’s serious.
Most voters are aware that the policy of the Greens extends beyond the environment. But their big-spending magic pudding economic policy has to go. We cannot afford public sector largesse when the budget is in deep structural deficit. It is an immoral impost on future generations. And it so happens that bringing the budget back into surplus is a precondition for the free market prosperity that can help underwrite environmental protection and remediation.

Saw Bob Brown on TV saying the Green NSW leadership should resign. Didnt argue with the critiscism that they were watermelons. Green skin but red on the inside.

I don't think watermelons is appropriate.
They are so blarently red, the small green patchescare simply there to further and facilitate the ideology. More like tomatoes these days

I wouldn't call de Natalie a tomato, or even a watermelon. He's more switched on to reality than the last leader Milne.
Maybe that's why he lost some votes of the loony Left.

Bob didn't attack de Nataile. He was attacking the people running NSW.
Yeah...The REDS under the bed.

What the Greens need most of all, is a root and branch review of all their policies.
I think they need to be more Centrist, and believe Di Natale was a good appointment.
Bob Brown is probably right about NSW. Everyone knows where Lee Rhiannon sits in the policy spectrum, I can't see how it adds the electability of the party.

But Lee Rhiannon is not the only communist in the Greens' Party...It is riddled with them as I have said on many occasions........Their agenda is Socialism.

Agree, they are so far left they have fallen off the cliff.
Anti achievement, anti western culture, big on PC
There is no freedom when it comes to their ideology, we all have to walk the plank of destruction.

I would suspect the if we eliminated the protest Lib/Lab voters, there would be insufficient numbers of hipsters and tie dyes to get the Greens close to sitting in the house of reps.
I'm surprised the stalwarts haven't changed their names to Malachi, Esau, Edom etc. and started wearing finger cymbals.
They are not my words......That is from a report by the Australian Newspaper.

The Greens in NSW have always been tinged with Communism much more than the Greens nationally. Lee Rhiannon is as red as they get in Australian politics. Or to put it another way, you'll never see Lee chained to a tree because an endangered bandicoot is faced with habitat destruction.
When will the Green Party owned up to their dud predictions of Global Warming and the "BAD" effects of CO2?
All their predictions over the years have been proven wrong time and time again.
The grass and the trees around coal fired power stations are greener due to CO2 emissions.
The Greens have conned the Labor Party into ramping up renewable energy which is unreliable and inefficient in comparison to coal fired power stations which are 35% efficient in comparison to renewables at 15%...Coal fired power is there 24/7 .
Two new coal mines are about to open in Queensland ....The Adami mine being the biggest ever undertaken with thousands of job to be available including the construction of a new rail line.
So why all this talk about coal being out-dated?......Science will develop a method of clean coal and there will be a come back as more and more renewables are proven unreliable.

King coal returns
October 11, 2016 6:12am
Global warmists predicted the rains would dry. The dams would drain. The cyclones would grow. The crops would fail. The islands would drown. All false, of course.
And they swore that wicked coal - the cause of it all - would be worthless. Check their predictions - and what's now happened.
ABC’s Four Corners, June 16 last year:
With the price of coal plummeting and our biggest customers turning to renewable energy, is Australia backing a loser?
Ross Gittins, The Sydney Morning Herald, October 14 last year:
In a nutshell … coal’s days are numbered. The rapidly falling price of renewable energy such as wind and solar, combined with the growing resolve of China, the US and others to reduce their emissions, put a dark cloud over the future of coal.
ABC business editor Ian Verrender, The Drum, December 28 last year:
Prices have collapsed and global demand is waning, in the oft-repeated boom-bust cycle of the resource world … Rather than a mere cyclical downturn, coal appears to be in structural decline.
Paul Cleary, The Monthly, October last year:
Not only are coal prices down by around two-thirds from their peak in late 2011, but the financial underpinnings of the entire industry are crumbling. Investors in Australia and around the world have been stampeding out of coal stocks for both financial and ethical reasons.
Ah yes, about that. The Australian, yesterday:
Australian coking coal spot prices have surged 155 per cent since the start of June to a four-year high of $US213 per tonne as China cracked down on mining overcapacity at the same time that government stimulus fired the housing market, while rain and derailments hit Australian supply. The price is now more than double the still-standing September quarter contract price of $US92.50...
When - finally -will reality force warmists to revisit the assumption behind their astonishing record of dud predictions? When will they ask themselves why they have been so wrong so often, and always on the alarmist side?

Explod, could you give a link when you quote someone, or at least say who wrote the piece.
Thanks
Don't worry SR...Joe will probably send him a PM.
