The Theatre Begins

Opening night for the Greens with their 'theatre of the absurd' in the lead up to the September Federal Election. Act 1: Senator Milne is stretching the imagination a bit far if she really thinks her sudden concern for farmers or her 'environmentalist' spin will wash with the Australian community.

 Sorry to burst the bubble on opening night of this theatre, but all we have heard from the Greens in recent years is same sex marriage and refugees, in fact they campaigned solely on these very two issues at the last election, no concern then for struggling farmers regarding uncertainties around water, in fact the Greens are behind the farmers losing water ! The explosion of mining and destruction of Australian farms due to policy assisted by the Greens, all the foreign buy - ups that have spiralled out of all control on their watch, whilst in wedded bliss with Labor. No concerns about the environmental damage done by the influx of hordes of refugees and all the bulldozing and clearing of land to build more houses to accommodate all and sundry and the strain on water and resources ie; environment. No concern for homeless Australians, no, no, no, it's all mass immigration, refugees and same sex marriage. Now that the honeymoon is over, we are supposed to believe the old "environmentalist" cover story that has been peddled for years and dragged out the closet of convenience on cue ?

Senator Milne underestimates the Australian people, perhaps her target audience for this theatre is for those with amnesia ?

If this is Act 1, of the Greens election campaign, we can hardly wait for Act 2. perhaps that will be centred around the seedy details of their 'pillow talk' with Labor, we can do without hearing all the muck to be raked up and all the dirty deeds done dirt cheap. Of course there is no show without Punch ! This divorce is set to get ugly and the implosion begins,  bang, crash  the final curtain call in this theatre of the absurd. No Encores please we've heard enough toxic rubbish from the Greens.

Below for reference some of Milne's crafted spin:

Mining Anger
Senator Milne used her speech to launch an attack on the policies of both Labor and the Coalition, and to argue for the re-election of the Greens.
"Without the Greens holding the balance of power in the Senate, Australia risks the repeal of the mining tax - giving up on any chance of the Australian community receiving its fair share of the bounty of our mineral wealth," she said.

"We risk farmers being driven from their land by mining companies, without any resistance from the Parliament."
She has questioned how Ms Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott can voice support for Australia becoming a "food bowl", but at the same time support coal seam gas mining projects on agricultural land.
And Senator Milne fired another broadside at Environment Minister Tony Burke, describing his decision to reject a proposal to list Tasmania's Tarkine wilderness on the National Heritage register as "pathetic".
"Minister Burke sold out the Tarkine to mining interests at the behest of New South Wales right [faction], Paul Howes."
"Only the Greens are standing up for the Tarkine - the largest tract of temperate rainforest left in Australia."
