Green's come under fire at Crikey
Crikey (which is certainly not conservative) has gathered evidence to support my earlier proposition that the greens no longer care about the environment, they are simply the anti vote.
Sounds like this is being driven by the Democrats (who obviously are suffering at the moment at the hands of the greens), but even still it makes interesting reading.
Liberal-turned-Democrat Greg Barns has been doing some more research into Green diligence in the Federal Parliament and claims it's not pretty. It seems that Bob Brown has attended estimates committees dealing with environment and forestry issues only 4 times since he was elected. Each time it was just for part of one day.
Bob's terms began on July 1, 1996. In September 1996 he attended parts of 3 days of estimates. In June 1997 he attended parts of 2 days on forestry and environment related matters. In November 1997 he attended part of 1 day on environment matters. In February 1999 he attended part of 1 day on forestry matters.
Similarly, Barns points out that earlier this year Bob Brown fawned over Mark Latham calling him the PM in waiting. Now he says the ALP is the chainsaw Party and how can Garrett join it - so which is it Bob?
Yes, I admit I can't stand the Greens. I lost all respect for them when they acted like school children during the recent Bush visit. The Democrats, while holding similar views, didn't debase themselves and for that I respect them.
