You see it more in local government, councils try to ban nuclear energy, gas cooking or having backyard barbecues like it actually means something.
Another Zali Steggal.
In my opinion they are an economic and social disaster waiting to happen, Bob Brown is a prime example, had some meritorious ideas but much of it leads to nothing and it's really when the bigger parties see a political win that something happens. Then the likes of Brown claim the high ground, in reality not having done that that much to effect a change.
Being the first to crow doesn't make you the cock of the walk!
You get players like Lidia Thorpe, abusing police on the front line of violent protests, she shouldn't just be kicked out of politics she should be charged for bringing society into disrepute. In effect she verbals all of us. I'm all for defending the rights of genuine refugees, but crooks and charlatans sneaking into Australia via refugee channels are not genuine refugees. The people Thorpe protested against yesterday had been exposed by DFAT to include some who escaped charges of rape, theft, extortion and murder in their own country.
