yes Tuckey was a right larrikin type.... that would have been an interesting visit.... do you frequent towns associated with past politicians? it would make an interesting journey around Aus.
I've known some greens of the old school: the German model that included sweeping democratic reform. thats where I came in. but the party became a Party and all manner of loose units entered, some ambitious but most just more of the TWS crowd (Wilderness Soc).
I cam back to meeting with greens again 20 yrs ago. highly educated and skilled people, not wild radicals.... all jaded with the Party but still fighting for the cause while Brown was still in charge. I've not seen those guys since, but one retired to Bellingen
I also mixed with the Aus Democrats back in the day... they were every much like the Teals.
Jo communism is way out of date mate..... although I gather Xi is wanting to return to a Maoist style without the culture wars (
yeh! for real).... and woekism.... crikey, its an ism now.... and I thought it was just the latest kids expression for becoming aware that life is real.
