The 'nice' party

You're f--king finished," the Greens staffer snarled down the phone. "I'm going to tear you to f--king pieces."
The dramatic threats, made on the weekend to this journalist, sound more like a scene from the TV show House of Cards than the words of a party that says it "does politics differently".
But the outburst demonstrates the pressure-cooker atmosphere inside the Greens' campaign as they approach the moment of truth on Saturday in their 17-year struggle to wrest control of Labor's former inner-Melbourne stronghold of Batman.
Disgruntled local members have mounted an extraordinary campaign of leaks and destabilisation in recent weeks that has driven some Greens almost to breaking point.
This is not a political party at peace with itself.
The internal campaign against Bhathal is just the latest outbreak of fighting in a civil war between the Greens' old guard and its reformers, a painful transition from protest movement to a mainstream political outfit

and as it is part of election campaign should be ignored shouldn't it- only a couple of days now before we vote

What a vile and disgusting post. How dare you paint the Greens in such a negative way. I might report you to Bob Brown or Doctor Dick.

Will the treasonous vile Greenies be the first ever "party" to get a negative vote at the election ?

Will Bull S. resign if Labor loses Batman ?






The Greens tearing themselves to pieces in Melbourne
AMM  15/03/2018

Vote Green in Batman and get this unstable dross.

Oh such sweet music to the ears of sane people.

To use the words of the dope Rob Oakeshott, who said, “It’s going to be ugly, but it’s going to be beautiful in its ugliness.”

The contest this Saturday is for Batman in Melbourne where all sides are fighting like tomcats on heat using desperate language.

On the Greens national front the old Marxist hag Senator Lee Rhiannon is at the throat of leader Di Natale.

With a bit of luck they will tear the party to pieces and their followers just might wake up to what the Greens are all about.

And just to thrill the despairing Lefties as their hero the CFMEU puppet Bull S. steers the Labor Titanic into the iceberg.

A loss for the Greens in Batman is a gain for all Australians. Rock on baby!!

I wonder why it is that “bohemians” living in central Melbourne think they have any right to decide the fate of a mine – and the jobs and income it will generate – in rural central Queensland?

Much as it offends my religion, I’ll be hoping for a Labor win. Anyone but a Green.

With you on those thoughts JR.

Jack: In fact, the towns in close proximity to the proposed Adani mine will gain absolutely nothing in jobs or income from the mine, towns like Alpha, Jericho, Clermont and Moranbah.

It is a FIFO mine with the miners flown from Townsville and Rockhampton.

The Environment Court heard evidence from an Adani representative there will not be 10,000 jobs created, but a measly maximum of 1464 jobs as the mine is proposed to be automated as much as possible.

Add into the equation the permanent loss of groundwater and surface water, permanent detrimental impacts upon the Great Artesian Basin, the loss of productive cattle country forever and the fact the income generated for the State is outweighed by the cost of rehabilitation (borne by the taxpayer like every other coal mine rehab so far), there isn’t really much to be gained by this monster coal mine.

I even had our local pollie try to tell me there were jobs in it for our town, which happens to be close to 500km away, frankly, the bullshit circulating about the ‘benefits’ of Adani, far outweigh the facts.

In any case, it is very unlikely this monster mine will get up due to the lack of financial support amongst other things like the exposed corruption of Adani himself.

There are far better coal mine prospects in Queensland which actually will bring benefit to the State, however, Adani is not one of them.

I share your concerns PP. I drive through areas of current and former mining here in CQ on a weekly basis, and it’s ugly, it’s destructive, and anyone who claims the country can be returned to pre-mine conditions is lying.

Economically, we do need to mine and export our coal (so long as we get a proper share via royalties and there are genuine jobs for Australians involved). We also need to mine coal for cost-effective and efficient electricity generation. But this has to be done at decent scales so as to be manageable, and it has to employ Australians. Oh, and the mining companies themselves have to pay for the “restoration”, not the ever-gouged tax-payers.

The mantra put the Greens last, Peta Credlin on Fox has this dopey Green stupid ,on her show, it so annoys me that she gives this total wanker a platform.

When any of the TV shows interview or allow a Greens position be flouted on any topic it is sickening.

The Greens other than Batman have less than 10% of the National vote, I do not wish to hear their whimpers and wishes on how we should return to caves in the forest, who will make the candles, no petrol no diesel electric cars with no plug ins for the power 50 ks from CBD. A mad lot is an understatement.

It's only newsworthy because the Greens have internal disputes relatively rarely.

If it was the Liberals, it happens so often that nobody bothers to report it anymore except when it gets to the point of yet another leadership spill. The Libs have been doing leadership spills since the 1960s, longer than any other party.

I know

Let's sack every single politician and senior public servant

No payout, no pension, just sack them outright.

Then employ some part timers, casuals, just like they do in industry.

When they ain't working, they don't get paid.

Sounds like a plan

it is sad to see the Greenies sliding towards extinction.

Oh Gosh aren't those Lefties downright awful ?  And this is what a Socialist union controlled Labor Party encourages.




The answer is simple—stop all Centrelink benefits!
AMM 21/03/2018

A piece of trash walks into Centrelink and starts abusing everyone in sight, threats, foul language, scaring the hell out of old pensioners, women, children and staff.

The response from authorities: People who racially abuse, intimidate and threaten to hurt Centrelink staff could be hit with tougher penalties, the Federal Government has announced.

They’ll think about it for a while. Now what sort of penalty COULD we conjure up? STOP their bloody benefits you brain dead morons. Press the CANCEL button!

Human Services Minister Michael Keenan has called for an urgent review after watching a racist, expletive ridden-rant at an Adelaide Centrelink office on social media.


Centrelink: Government orders review of safety, penalties for aggressive behaviour after racist rant
Source: ABC



The video went viral on Monday after the man was filmed delivering an expletive-ridden, racist rant at people inside the Salisbury Centrelink office in Adelaide’s north.

The man taunted people to “take him on” saying: “I am going to smash all of you,” before racially abusing people.
“I didn’t vote for multiculturalism, did I,” he yelled.

Mr Keenan said police spoke to the man and have not ruled out taking further action.

“Like most Australians, I was disgusted to see video of somebody abusing my staff and women and children in one of our service centres in Adelaide,” Mr Keenan said.

“Unfortunately, this is one of thousands of incidents of customer aggression that we get around the country on any given year.
“I’ve asked my department to urgently give me options for what we might be able to further do to penalise people who are involved in this sort of behaviour.

At the moment, abusive clients can be banned from having face-to-face contact with Centrelink staff and forced to rely on phone conversations or written correspondence.

“It is completely unacceptable for the 35,000 people in my department to go to work and fear that they might be abused or assaulted in this way,” Mr Keenan said.

Leftist media saturates the news. Fight back. Send articles to your friends, politicians, local media, and facebook.

Of course the fu@king stupid Greens will blame long waiting lists, racism or homo-transphobia for the outburst. If the person was trans-gay, black or Muslim they would want taxpayers to fund a new Tesla EV and Tesla solar power for his/her home and extra pocket money. If he/she was unfortunate enough to be ‘white’ and straight, the Green call would be for euthanasia.

Many years ago my daughter worked at a Centrelink office in Berri, South Australia. The abuse then was so bad (if the benefits were delayed) that all the female staff were moved to the first floor. Such an ungrateful lot!

It is one of three things causing these ferals to go off their rockers, Tony Abbott, Donald Trump, or Climate Change.
