Interesting to hear that Vic Labor is effectively declaring the privatisation of energy in the state a failure, I suppose when we see the decaying infrastructure, it's very very hard to disagree!
The capitalists wanted the profitable part, mostly the power stations, and basically let the rest of the kit rot. Now it needs major overhaul, they are bailing out in the name of low carbon energy, but even the low carbon options need the basic infrastructure!
Hospitals, factories, schools, transport, hospitality, won't operate on a microgrids.

You would have to be very green in the job pardon the pun to think that connection wasnt going to surface at some stage in your career and bite you.

It's not so much the connection but her failure to disclose it that bit her on the moom. It's all well and good to maintain the rage, but you have to be clever about how you do it and always follow process.
Actually, after reading a little more, it seems that the Senator tried to be too clever.

I’m a bit hazy on the details but didn’t her staffer dob her in at the time? Bandt only asked for her resignation as Greens deputy senate leader after her relationship with Martin was made public.
The Greens had three Kooris on their Victorian Senate ticket and two of them are intelligent folk of great integrity. Sadly, they had the second and third places on the ticket.

Be interested to see how political and green he gets with his IPL team and all those rupees, of course the IPL is sponsored by those well known providers of crap cars and pollution in Tata Motors who have a large factory in Kolkata where he plays cricket for the Knightriders.
I believe the Dockers are being pressured to dump their lucrative Woodside sponsorship by ex players like Dale Kickett and others. Of course Woodside have had a bumper year and are overflowing in cash and Freo are looking at a nice rise in sponsorship money so a tad awkward for them.
Interesting times in the new Green world of Sport..
Gina Rinehart has pulled the sponsorship of the netball after the backlash.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

I would have worked with Hancock to change the image of the company, sponsor indigenous netballers/teams and
provide employment/study pathways etc.
No one is a winner now.....
