The Greens are a danger and why ALP even supports some of their other idiotic policies is the bigger issue in Vic IMO (and Shorten must take note). How the unions don't break down the doors in SA and Vic is embarrasing given the loss of jobs - without jobs their is no construction industry. Your whole economy can't rest on tourism, retail and housing construction and those with good trades to FIFO out ofSA/ Vic (note the downturn in E&R in WA and FIFO from Vic/SA is dead).

Well said Scarpa. The dopey greens are indeed a danger. Shorten has picked up a number of their numbskull policies because the ALP fears losing votes to the greens.
