Global Climate Change Action

WHY NO GREENS???

Such an obvious question, yet why no answers!

I would love to see Bob Brown take them both on, and wipe the floor clean of them both with his Party's honesty and integrity.

He has the RIGHT answers because the Greens Party have the BEST policy solutions.

The Greens time has come! If only mainsteam media would give them a chance to show the public.

"I would love to see Bob Brown take them both on"
you could hardly say that bob baby has a way with words now could you ... he is one reason why the green vote is so dismal ... as an orator he needs a total rebuild if that is possible. (or another speech writer ... can't remember if he writes his own or not)
BTW we did touch base on oxford st many years ago and even then, in this no pressure surrounding (and no, it wasn't the barrack, male preferred space nightclub or stonewall) he was .... "timid" for want of a better word.

Are we talking about the same bob?

Virtual, we obviously have met different men. The Bob Brown I met is inspirational and brought me to tears with his words. Strong, tall, charismatic and confident. As far as I am aware, this is the first election where he has come out and said that he is the "leader" of the Greens. Something that needed to be done, to compete (on equal grounds) with our other "Leaders".

He speaks about the FACTS clearly and "neatly"; without supurfluous generalisations and without the feel good "fluff" and babble of the other two leaders. He speaks like this because he DOESN'T have an unlimited media budget, he understands that EVERY word counts. He gets 3-5 second "news sound bites" because the media are obliged (by law) to give "equal" (unpaid for) time. How many ad's for the Greens have you seen/heard on mainstream media?

When he came to Bundaberg in the last Federal election he spent a good 10 minutes with my family and I, chatting in the heat of my tiny car. I felt very honoured, there were many people eagerly awaiting him. He wrote a full page message to my daughter in a book she still treasures. He also gave me an autographed copy of his book, "Memo for a saner world". Fascinating read, by the way. I recommend it if you want to really know how he ticks.

He is a true gentleman.
Perhaps he came across to you as "timid", because he did not want to offend you (or your opinions).
