The Australian Greens party

[wayneL]

The Greens do not believe in free speech. You are only allowed to say what they approve.

The loopy SHY strikes again.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Why is Parliament House hosting a white supremacist?' Leaked emails reveals Greens senator is trying to have right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos BANNED

This is what really gives me the shits about the left and particularly the Greens.

While Milo himself would admit to being a right-wing provocatuer, but a white supremicist?

Puuuullleeeeze.

I have been having discussions with my local greens candidate... what a lying bastid.

Very sly.

Yianopoulos in my view is a disgrace and anyone trying to use this example as an indicator of "The Greens" shows the sort of ingnorance that is making the Greens prosper. The community have much more sense, insight and integrity than is realised by Lib/nat and Labour.

Yiannopoulos earlier this year resigned from the American right-wing Breitbart News website, where he was technology editor, after video of him surfaced that appeared to suggest he was condoning paedophilia.

The "community" being one very small section of Melbourne.

Where is Bob Brown these days?
Last time I saw him, he was marching against processing LNG, onshore at Broome.
The good thing was, he helped bringing down the prices of houses in Broome and increased the unemployment IMO.lol

 

[wayneL]

Whatever Yiannopoulos is, he is not a white supremicist. He is married to a black man ferchrissake! SHY, as usual, is completely off the mark and way out of order.

Not so, in fact at the last federal election Melbourne Ports almost went to the Greens. This seat is the other side of the city to the area of Northcote. A continuation of the current trend will see four to five seats in the inner metro to the greens, another will be border line at Geelong and Sydney also another one or two.

With six seats almost certain to the greens federally in the lower house in two years the tide will turn as people will start recognise the integrity and value to all sections of a party not bound by the corporates.

It'll be game over, bro.

You're just not on the ground ole pal.

Greens campaigning in Brisbane currently tonight are discussing action to provide homes for the poor. Who else gives a fig for these real issues, or even know. Average across Australia, 1 job to 18 trying to get that job.

Care to give us the heads up. Also, why are you dealing with a "Greens" candidate?

Dude, I've been trying to engage my local candidate since the election was called.

He won't even tell me Greens basic ideological platform. all i can get from him is propaganda, and various iterations of "let's stall from the productive to give to the non productive."

My questions are fair, but the evadiveness is telling,

Ive been talking to all four candidates in my electorate. As they're was no viable protest Candidate, I was interested in the Greens for that purpose.

It didn't take long for me to work out that it is the Greens that I want to protest against most of all.

That's your story of course and I have no doubts as to your integrity and its how you see things.

Ive been an active Green for eighteen years and often consulted when constitutional matters are revised or renewed. No one can tie feet to the ground and democratically individuals will often express views which are not nescessarily the party line. So what, that is freedom of speach. However, having been invloved in my career at a senior level with Government members of both sides I have a good grip still on the political climate. Corruption via self interest has destroyed labour and the libs. Some members may seem strange to you but the Greens are sincere and not tied to promises for position.

 

[wayneL]

well maybe you can tell me what none of the candidates seem to be able to tell me Mr plod.

What is the Greens basic ideological platform?

If thats not pretty obvious I'm not sure what is. But in fairness ill do a bit of resesch and see if it can be stated in short simple terms.

However, whilst I'm doing that, and I see you wayneL as a Lib, so, what is their basic ideological platform? And from these replies we'll see if we can work out a technique of real comparison and measurement.

 

[explod]

For wayneL, go to "green.org.au/about" then hit Charter.

Opens up pretty well on some of my recent discussions on attending to poverty and living standards.

 

[wayneL]

Okay cheers Plod.

No, I am not a lib.

 

[Macquack]

You must have too much time on your hands?

I have always been suspect of people meeting with politicians, are you proposing a property development or something?

Re: The Greens - The New Radical Socialists

When I started this thread I thought it would be an opportunity for Greens supporters to rally to the cause to defend their beloved party. Only one, explod, has put his hand up because he thinks voting Green would provide a better lifestyle for his nine grandchildren.

Surely there must be others who support the concept that destroying the Australian economy by imposing crippling taxation on the extractive industries is a guarantee of a rosy future for this country.

Where are the tree huggers, the whale watchers, the fruit bat lovers? Or have you all seen the light and decided to be responsible citizens?

I think people who are drawn to the greens should be aware of it's roots = Marxist and rabid unionist Jack Mundey. The membership were the "doctor's wives, tertiary students and academics", et al who were the litter of the ALP at the time.

These days I observe they are much the same, with keyboard warriors at the vanguard evangalising the gospel of individualism and destruction of the tribe in pursuit of magic puddings that can sustain humans without having to put any hard work into actually doing anything constructive.

Don's Party socialists would be pleased.

And where do you observe all this?

In the news today "to the Senate Select Committee the Minerals Council has conceded that it makes political donations to access parliamentarians"

So just maybe it is time to move away from the extreme self centred corruption of the current major parties.
