Greens Masthead reads:
"Well behaved women rarely make history"
They advocate women misbehave to make their mark, which of course does not apply to males who would be outed on social media as monsters.

Its time to let you know what is going on within the Greens from time to time. A message I recieved from Sarah Hanson-Young today:-
"
Any day now, the Senate’s going to vote on what to do with 70 gigalitres of water from the Northern Basin of the Murray-Darling -- whether it should go to big irrigators, or to the environment.
The evidence here is clear. The Murray-Darling Basin Authority has spelled out the stakes in black and white: if the Liberals get their way, it will be a huge win for big corporate irrigators and donors, and the health of the river and all the communities that rely on it will be left to suffer the consequences.
The Greens will never vote for watering down our water plan, and compromising on the commitment that was made to delivering the plan on time and in full.
We will continue to fight for South Australia, and won’t be held ransom by upstream states and the Turnbull Government. They care more about feathering the nests of greedy corporate irrigators than making sure the millions of us who rely on the Murray have access to a healthy, flourishing river.
The environment isn’t a passive player in the water wars. It needs you to be its voice in this fight. This Plan is the difference between having water in our rivers, or salt.
Representatives of the upstream irrigators have come out swinging. They want the vote to go down, so that they get more water at the expense of the environment, downstream floodplain graziers and the people of South Australia.
We’re seriously concerned that the Federal Labor Party is about to sell South Australia short, and that the Nick Xenophon Team senators aren’t rock solid in their commitment to the Murray. And just this morning there are reports that Labor is trying to horse-trade on the Plan.
Don't let that happen. Here's what you can do:.... "

Good to see that the Greens are still aware of big issues , rather than just pushing the change Australia Day trivia.

Honestly, what are the Greens smoking?
Helping out people who are now targeted/genocide in SA, and Di Natale now turns it into a racial agenda.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said white South African farmers are being persecuted and need to be brought to safety in Australia.
Senator Di Natale called that racist.
"There's no debate as far as I'm concerned, the bloke is an out-and-out racist," Senator Di Natale said.
"According to Peter Dutton, if you're a white South African farmer you are going to make a great contribution, you're not going to bludge on welfare.

Peter Dutton labelled 'racist' by Richard Di Natale over call to bring white South African farmers to Australia
Bringing white South African farmers to Australia as part of a special humanitarian program would be a return to the White Australia policy, Greens leader Richard Di Natale has said.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said white South African farmers are being persecuted and need to be brought to safety in Australia.
Senator Di Natale called that racist.
"There's no debate as far as I'm concerned, the bloke is an out-and-out racist," Senator Di Natale said.

So why isn't Dutton holding out the welcome mat to Syrian farmers ?
If people want to come here they can apply in the normal way and have their applications judged on their merits.
Did you check out immigration numbers last year?

That's different to Dutton promising to fast track applications of a certain group.
We took in Syrian Christians and I never heard anyone biatching.
But saving whitey makes you a nazi.

The point was more about insulting a foreign country that we are trying to get on with (cricket aside).
He called them uncivilised which didn't go down too well with the Foreign Department.

My wife's family came here from Kenya in similar circumstances. If youre willing to listen, I can tell you some stories of what was going on then. It ain't pretty mate.
They are as much refugees as from any country. Additionally, they are culturally congruent and would not burden our welfare system.
Playing the racism card is a disgrace and typical divisionary identidy politics of the cultural Marxists.
No, the Greens can go straight to hell and stay there.

I wonder how they would behave if the farmers joined the Greens Party first?
Pointing out that people are being chopped up, or under attack and that violence is uncivilised -is insulting ?
Damn, we better apologize to Myanmar then.

He actually implied that the whole country was uncivilised.
"Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has caused a diplomatic row with South Africa after declaring white farmers in the country were facing "horrific circumstances" and needed protection from a "civilised country".

South Africa is a bloody mess, Horace. And it ain't racist to make that observation... Just like Zimbabwe.
I don't see any particular race mentioned, merely the politics.
Stop pandering to those you have spoken against in this forum.

I have no objection to the farmers coming here Wayne, but Dutton is a bit of a clumsy oaf in more ways than one.
