Greens would deny us everything

 

Brown, was a tremendous voice for the environment and by far the best leader the Greens have had. The Greens began their life in Australia as Tasmanian group. They were able to export their fervour to the mainland on the back of an environmental purist in Brown. 

 

He was never seen as a politician on the make or consumed by personal ambition. He projected decency and Australians responded. The Greens were able to achieve a national vote of 10 per cent very quickly. The problem is that they have never been able to increase that number. 

 

They are stuck at 10 per cent ­because they no longer have the Greens purity of a Bob Brown. Since they stopped worrying about the trees and adopted the mantle of the true party of the left in Australia, they limited their ­horizons and seem determined to remain a minor party.

 

As long as they are determined to push issues that not only alienate the bulk of Australians but ­infuriate them as well, then their campaigns will fall on deaf ears and blind eyes. 

 

One of the first ­indications that the Greens have fundamental difficulties in accepting the way the great majority of Australians live was when now-vanquished Queensland Green Larissa Waters took on the cause of changing the toys our children play with. 

 

She wanted to ban Barbie dolls because they were gender-specific. Little girls have played with dolls since the Son of God played on the wing for Jerusalem. I have managed to live my 68 years seeing absolutely nothing wrong with little girls playing with dolls. And even if I am ­accused of being a truly dreadful person, I readily concede that I would not have been comfortable with my son playing with dolls. Fortunately, he never did.

 

Tasmanian senator Nick McKim and a few of his mates drew up a non-denominational card to be sent out at Christmas. 

 

Why do these miserable bastards want to attack how we play and what we celebrate?

Today’s leader of the Greens, Richard Di Natale, surprised ­no one this week when, in line with the black-armband view of history they peddle, he called for Australia Day to be moved away from the commemoration of the landing of the First Fleet at Botany Bay. Again, he stands against what a huge majority of Australians want and believe in.

I have no time for Richo and know his sleazy past but I agree with him on this.

I have never liked Graham Richardson, he typifies the worst in politicians and as usual is distorting the truth. The concern Larissa raised was with marketing, not toys. Here is the truth:

 

Greens get Senate inquiry to look into link between Barbies, toys and domestic violence - The Sydney Morning Heraldwww.smh.com.au › Politics › NewsNov 25, 2015 - Greens spokeswoman for women Larissa Waters said the inquiry would not seek to ban certain toys but examine how they were marketed to boys and girls. "It's about children being free to play with ...

Yes Richo was known as the Minister for Packer but as he is in his dying days he is telling it like it is

The Greens are like many small parties.....always chasing headlines and will promise anything as they know they will not win government in an election and so will never be called upon to honour their stated policies.

Agree kfc, they serve very little value other than as a protest party which sells it's beliefs to the highest bidder. Windsocks!

i like the policies of the green party.  they make sense, promote social justice and environmental responsibility.

the old parties are terrified of the greens and take every opportunity to twist their words and ridicule them.

ridicule always comes from fear.

if you read the actual policies of the green party you will see that they really do make sense.

Perhaps you could quote us some ? 

Here are two Greens Policy  World Government and Self Determination for Aboriginals 

PHOTO: The Greens policy platform moves from the ridiculous to the truly terrifying when Bob Brown and his confederates turn their attention to foreign policy.

The defence of a country's autonomy and territorial integrity is the most fundamental responsibility of government. Any credible claim of national sovereignty must necessarily rest upon the ability to exercise political independence in the international arena.

 

In this spirit, the Australian Constitution bestowed upon Parliament the executive government exclusive authority over "the naval and military defence of the Commonwealth" and "External Affairs".

 

But the Australian Greens are hostile to the principles of national sovereignty that were so wisely enshrined in our Constitution. In the world according to Bob Brown, the authority of international organisations should trump Australia's national independence.

 

In their "Global Governance" platform, the Greens call for a "renewed commitment by Australia to multilateralism as the means of addressing world problems." The document goes on to endorse "a stronger UN capable of dealing with threats to international peace and security."

 

By definition, multilateralism is antithetical to national sovereignty. A commitment to global government must necessarily come at the expense of a country's ability to pursue its own independent interests. And in practice, the Greens platform translates into an ambitious scheme to enhance the authority of the United Nations while reshaping that organisation to reflect a far-Left worldview.

 

 

But the hostility of Australian Greens towards the concept of sovereignty is also quite inconsistent. In fact, the party's policy on "Indigenous Australians" constitutes little more than a flag-waving, chest-beating exercise in Aboriginal jingoism.

The Greens platform demands that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people be afforded "a right to self determination". It also insists that"the prior occupation and sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples" should be "enshrined in the constitution".

 

Words have meaning, and the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines "self-determination" as: "the process by which a country determines its own statehood and forms its own government." The OED goes on to define "sovereignty" as: "supreme power or authority; the authority of a state to govern itself or another state; a self-governing state."

 

ABC

Which faction are you with KIKI

 

 

Internal tensions within the Greens have boiled over, with members of the hard-left of the party grouped around NSW Senator Lee Rhiannon forming their own faction dedicated to the "fight to bring about the end of capitalism".

The formation of the group calling itself "Left Renewal" is an escalation of an ongoing battle between the so-called eastern bloc of the Greens and the group they dismiss as "tree Tories".

While the Greens appeal to an alliance of young, tertiary-educated students and professionals, the Party has increasingly been infiltrated at the parliamentary level by members of the hard Left. 

 

Let me take two examples. New South Wales senator-elect Lee Rhiannon is a former member of the Moscow-aligned Socialist Party of Australia. Her parents were prominent members of the Communist Party. 

 

The new Member for Melbourne, Adam Bandt, was a radical student activist. He once attacked the Greens as a “bourgeois” party. Writing on a Marxist website in the 1990s, Mr Bandt attacked capitalism, arguing that ideological purity was paramount. It is clear from his 1995 comments— “Communists can’t fetishise alternative political parties, but should always make some kind of materially based assessment about the effectiveness of any given strategy come election time”—that Bandt views the Greens as a vehicle for his ideological pursuits.

 

Many descriptions could be applied to the Greens, but none seems more accurate than Jack Mundey’s own description of “ecological Marxism”, which sums up the two core beliefs of the Greens. First, the environment or the ecology is to be placed before all else. This is spelt out in the first principle in the Greens Global Charter, to which the Australian Greens are subscribers: “We acknowledge that human beings are part of the natural world and we respect the specific values of all forms of life, including non-human species.”[34]

 

Second, the Greens are Marxist in their philosophy, and display the same totalitarian tendencies of all previous forms of Marxism as a political movement. By totalitarian, I mean the subordination of the individual in the impulse to rid society of all elements that, in the eyes of the adherent, mar its perfection.

Greens are not the cuddly tree huggers that the inner city elite voters think they are . 

They are far to the left of the ALP that want to Radicaly change Australian Society..

Typically a survey of ABC staff found the favoured party was the Greens...

Former ALP Senator John Black suggests that green voters don't conform to the popular stereotype. His research company has studied the demographic data and he offers a radical reappraisal of their attitudes and voting preferences. The richest voters in Australia he says are not Liberals but Greens.

ABC

The party’s statewide vote was unchanged at 10.3 per cent, but it achieved solid increases in the inner city ..

 

Analysis of election results by The Australian using 2011 census data compiled by the NSW parliamentary library reveals the ­secret of the Greens’ success ­appears to be the party’s appeal  to the well-off.

In the top 10 electorates ranked by the proportion of households with income of $3000 a week or more, the Greens’ primary vote averaged 17 per cent

 

Although the Greens proclaim an emphasis on social justice and equity, working-class people ­appear unconvinced. In electorates with the highest proportion of labourers, the Greens averaged only 4.8 per cent. 

 

ABC election analyst Antony Green studied the demographics of the Greens vote in the 2010 federal election, concluding Labor and the Greens are not engaged in a battle over Labor heartland but that the Greens were concentrated in the inner cities and among the “knowledge elite.”

He remarked that “high Green support basically disappears at the end of the tram lines”in Melbourne 

 

They also poll very well in safe Liberal north shore seats such as Manly, North Shore and Pittwater, finishing ahead of Labor, as they did in the blue-ribbon seat of Vaucluse.

 

The three seats where the Greens recorded their lowest vote are all in western NSW — Tamworth, Murray and Cootamundra. They also did ­poorly in western Sydney, with the next-worst results being Macquarie Fields, Mulgoa and Liverpool.

The Greens say securing the largest single private donation ever made to a political party in Australia helped bankroll a major advertising campaign in the lead-up to the last election.

The Greens have confirmed they received $1.6 million from the founder of the Wotif online travel website, Graeme Wood, before the federal election.


Socilaists don't love the poor

They just loathe the rich

Similarly the Greenies dont love the environment, they just hate humans - lots of self loathing going on there

Greens leader Richard Di Natale has weighed in while Greens Senator Lee Rhiannon and NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge have condemned Bob Brown’s response to a woman’s account of sexual assault as “victim blaming”.

Greens grandfather Bob Brown was published in left-leaning publication The Saturday Paper in response to an anonymous account by a woman who says she was sexually assaulted a by a senior Greens volunteer after an election party in 2016.

In her account, she attempted several times to get the party to take action against the man who had allegedly assaulted her and describes being ostracised by the party. She eventually took her case to the Australian Federal Police who told her too much time had elapsed.

In Mr Brown’s response, he describes the incident as “a violent, predatory rape” and criticised the alleged victim for not reporting the incident immediately to the police. He also wrote that “the ACT Greens could not and should not have been expected to substitute for the criminal justice system.”

<a href="http://insight.adsrvr.org/track/clk?ttd_r=&imp=553669ee-17bd-4cd2

 

 

Bob's not right on many things, but on this one I agree with him

Violently raped, but instead of going to the police, she wanted political favours for herself ?

Makes no sense 

Ps - incident happened in 2016, how can it be that too much time had elapsed?

Oh well the Greens being the party of the rich guess they can buy themselves out of anything .

More lefty Traitor bullshit 

 

Greens MP Adam Bandt has apologised to new Liberal senator Jim Molan for his comments suggesting the former army general could have committed war crimes. 

 

Mr Bandt released a statement a short time ago apologising to Senator Molan, who told The Australian last night he would consider suing the Greens member for Melbourne unless he received an apology.

 

“Yesterday I made statements about Senator Jim Molan on Sky TV,” Mr Bandt’s statement said.“Mr Molan has stated: ‘I would invite Mr Bandt to offer me a public apology… If he publicly apologised to me for the statements that he made, then that would end the problem.’

 

“I hereby apologise for those statements.”

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton claims Bill Shorten will go soft on people-smugglers to win the seat of Batman.

 

“When it comes to border protection, we know that the Leader of the Opposition is down in Victoria in the inner-city seat of Batman, where the Labor Party feels the Greens will win that seat from the Labor Party, he’s telling them that the Labor Party will go soft on border protection,” Dutton says. “They will abandon policy which will stop people drowning.”
