bob brown responds to paul sheehan in spades, page-7

Brown can be read here going on pompously, with a pinch of narcissism.

It's obvious that he feels the only good change that has ever come for Pensioners, Gum species, Coastlines and the environment has indeed come from the Greens.

How about the eradication of coastline weeds?
A community effort.

How about the creation of an existing technique (but shunned by the Greens) that almost halves the Carbon Output of Coal and still keeps workers in jobs?
An industrial effort.

How about the CSIRO, their improvements they have created for rural sector and various species, including pests?
Not about the Greens at all.

How about all the things that have touched the whole of Australia? Well, its possible that the Greens have done very little on this front and that their prerogative would be best served in a different arena - but they choose politics?
If they are interested in wildlife, the environment, Coastlines and such (and goo don them), then hijacking the realm of politics seems to be a little bit misdirected to me and the power that one pursues in order to rule a people politically, seems to not serve the Gums, Coastlines, wildlife or flora very well.

So IMO, it's time he and the Greens Party lined their mission up to a more suited vehicle for pushing their barrow, instead of wasting a lot of everyone else's time and the countries human resources - come to mention it, including the rhetoric they use in parliament to their plane trips all over the country (I do not know one single Green who refuses to use air flight, a car at some point, or who rallies for it to be compulsory for Australian Coal Industry to adopt the 40% Carbon Reduction techniques that are currently available as we speak).

Work it out Bob.
