congrats, anne on a wily yet subservient post. excellent to hear your are providing lip service for the greens and it's leader. (how much are they paying you? :) 
alas, we ARE talking about the same person. i have no complaints about his intellect nor his approach to young children and the odd tribe or two, it is sheerly his awkward approach to a camera and the halting,(almost like a speech impediment), delivery of words and sentences.  
re: literary achievements, yes schoolboy authors are amusing .. pretty 80's, suppose he needs the extra cash. 
don't get me wrong (as moderators and herr willie seem to have) this is not a personal assassination of a candidates credibility, it is purely an informed critique touched by some literary license/ aplomb! .... stirring the pot so to speak. 
and by george does it need stirring or what! the childish mentality amid our political peers is criminal .. yes anne ... ALL of them are guilty of SPIN.  
in the best of Orwellian spirits 
cheers

light in the darkness

Firstly, insofar as financial compensation from the Greens goes - they paid for my election nomination fee (as their Federal Candidate) twice. Everything else came out of my own funds. I voluntarily and enthusiastically used my own money, time and energy for the Greens to help promote their sound policies, build a local branch, adequately represent branch members at state level and raise public awareness of majour issues that effect us all. 
You go on to say that “you have no complaints about Bob Brown’s intellect” and follow this statement to highlight “his awkward approach to a camera”, “his halting, (almost like a speech impediment), delivery of words and sentences” and “schoolboy authors are amusing” about a man who has penned 7 books on last count. You then flow into your generalization of “the childish mentality amid our political peers is criminal” and finally “ALL of them are guilty of SPIN” 
 
Well, I beg to strongly differ. The intellectual superiority of the Greens Policies is a stark contrast to the short term band-aid solutions we are fed by the two majours. Bob and the Greens Policies honesty and integrity shine out as a stark light in the depths of darkness. 
 
Finally, my “subservient post” flowed out of my deep respect for an honourable man. 
 
I am subservient to no-one. My words are my own, I use them when and how I wish. 
 
Each to their own. 
 
Regards 
Anne

Accountability?

By: anne_elk (Registered ) on 23-10-2007 01:27

to "Alan K" and "enviro" on the issue of taxation and accountability... well said both of you. 
 
Hand outs of our money come election time can be simply summerised. Dishonest, vote grabbing, short term, SPIN. I've had enough of it. This is our money they are spending. 
 
Founders of this great nation are proud of how hard they worked and of their taxation contributions which built this nation we know today. Courageously determined to make it better for us and future generations. 
 
The two majours "privatise" and flog off past and present contributions towards our valuable assets and public infrastructures: eg. Telstra, public transport, education system, etc. They continue to sell off and allow the destruction of our precious and finite natural resources, eg. water, gas, coal, native forests, uranium, gold, environmental protection standards, etc. We go into “budget surplus” and gain a few crumbs from their table from our taxes, (sold assets, infrastructures and natural resources) come election time... in their bid to gain power and control over our taxes our resources and our working rights, to squander and exploit as they see fit, if and when re-elected. 
 
A vicious circle for our nation. 
 
Accountability? Yes please.

bad worm, naughty worm

By: Spider (Registered ) on 24-10-2007 02:32

The worm is a crock. The audience set up is obviously made up of mostly Labor voters. This is demonstrated by the worm going up before Rudd got to speak and, the worm going down before Howard got to speak. Real swinging voters do not respond like this at all. 
 
Channel 9 was being dishonest with their viewers and whinged like a bored house wife with nothing to do. Next time, I would suggest barring Ch9 from even showing such events. 
 
Ofcourse Ray Martin would accuse the government for deciding what free journalism is. I agree that the government should not fully decide however, journalists when allowed to run free range, make politicians look very honest.

Poor Wilba

By: enviro (Registered ) on 24-10-2007 05:39

Wilba wasn't quite fair the other evening at the same time he was being democratic.Mr Howard also was not democratic in the way he approach the Press club,when it's all boiled down people will vote on the 24th for whom they believe will do the better job for the people & country.To date there are many different items that have been down right dirty,with more to come.It's no wonder many have no faith in some politicians,there to busy finding a dirt file.The thing that really irks is taxpayers are paying for them to carry on this way.
