Greens would deny us everything
Brown, was a tremendous voice for the environment and by far the best leader the Greens have had. The Greens began their life in Australia as Tasmanian group. They were able to export their fervour to the mainland on the back of an environmental purist in Brown.
He was never seen as a politician on the make or consumed by personal ambition. He projected decency and Australians responded. The Greens were able to achieve a national vote of 10 per cent very quickly. The problem is that they have never been able to increase that number.
They are stuck at 10 per cent because they no longer have the Greens purity of a Bob Brown. Since they stopped worrying about the trees and adopted the mantle of the true party of the left in Australia, they limited their horizons and seem determined to remain a minor party.
As long as they are determined to push issues that not only alienate the bulk of Australians but infuriate them as well, then their campaigns will fall on deaf ears and blind eyes.
One of the first indications that the Greens have fundamental difficulties in accepting the way the great majority of Australians live was when now-vanquished Queensland Green Larissa Waters took on the cause of changing the toys our children play with.
She wanted to ban Barbie dolls because they were gender-specific. Little girls have played with dolls since the Son of God played on the wing for Jerusalem. I have managed to live my 68 years seeing absolutely nothing wrong with little girls playing with dolls. And even if I am accused of being a truly dreadful person, I readily concede that I would not have been comfortable with my son playing with dolls. Fortunately, he never did.
Tasmanian senator Nick McKim and a few of his mates drew up a non-denominational card to be sent out at Christmas.
Why do these miserable bastards want to attack how we play and what we celebrate?

What a joke
Imagine if a man tried that stunt
