Greens to stop one nation

Post by Valkie » Tue Mar 26, 2019 5:55 am

Yeah....Rightttttttttt

The greens are a collection of nutcases who understand the environment like politicians understand the truth.
They know it's out there, but it does not really make any sense to them.

Now the greens are going to STOP LATHAM and his racist party.
Go for it morons, how many seats did you get again?
Oh yeah, that's right.....Newtown
I don't think a collection of mentally ill weird people that make up Newtown realm count for much.
The Greens NSW have denied infighting cost them votes in the weekend's election while vowing to try and isolate incoming upper house MP Mark Latham and his "racist" One Nation party.

Greens Legislative Council MP David Shoebridge on Sunday said the "rest of politics" needed to stay away from the former federal Labor leader.

"We will make sure Mark Latham is a sole and marginal voice in that place," he told reporters in Sydney.

"We will work with politicians from across the political spectrum to make sure One Nation's racist and divisive politics does not take root in NSW."

Mr Shoebridge and new recruit Abigail Boyd seem certain to retain the Greens' two vacant upper house seats while lower house MPs Jenny Leong, Jaime Parker and Tamara Smith all increased their margins in their seats.

Lismore candidate Sue Higginson conceded defeat about 10am on Sunday but celebrated Labor's Janelle Saffin becoming the seat's first female MP.

Statewide the Greens' primary vote in both houses appears to have dropped to its lowest level since 2007.

The Greens are down 0.6 percentage points in the Legislative Assembly to 9.7 per cent and 0.8 percentage points down in the Legislative Council to 9.1 per cent.

The Greens rejected suggestions their vote was harmed by infighting that led to upper house MP Jeremy Buckingham resigning in 2018 and deep division between the far-left and centrist factions.


Instead, the minor party pointed the finger at fellow progressive party Keep Sydney Open.

"The issues KSO were running on - opposing the lockouts, standing up for Sydney's nightlife - are issues the Greens have been running strongly on," Mr Shoebridge said.

"It is unfortunate that the KSO vote, I think, largely took votes from the Greens and largely took votes from the progressive side of politics."

Newtown MP Ms Leong said the Greens had been returned in her seat, Balmain and Ballina by focusing on key voter issues such as climate change action.

"While the media commentary was suggesting there were infighting and division to the point of crisis, (the lower house MPs) were out on the streets chatting to people," she said.

"These things did not impact our result.

"Any of the narratives that suggest there is some division between the inner city and the north (of the state) just does not hold true."

My hope is that in time, Islam will be nothing but a bad dream

As well as Newtown the Greens also retained Balmain and Ballina. I agree though, the Greens lost sight of their roots many years ago and are now just a bunch of nasty dissenting little nutjobs.

One Nation have hit back at an Al Jazeera report which caught party members on camera asking for up to $20 million in donations from the powerful US gun lobby.

In response to claims the party asked for gun cash to help it roll back Australia’s tough gun laws, One Nation has asked the Australian Federal Police and spy agency the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation to investigate Al Jazeera’s reporting.

The report, released online overnight, sparked immediate backlash in Australia, with senior government ministers Simon Birmingham and Deputy Nationals leader Bridget McKenzie demanding One Nation leader Pauline Hanson “front the cameras today” to explain whether she was colluding with the US gun lobby to relax the nation’s gun control laws.

One Nation’s actions have been dubbed “sickening” and “incredibly shocking”.

“This is exactly the type of behaviour we were seeking to stop by bringing in our foreign donation law,” Senator McKenzie told Sky News this morning.

“I think it’s incredibly shocking, these revelations.

“And rather than issue a media statement, I’d ask Senator Hanson to actually front the media and come out and say whether she actually agrees with the article and the information provided by the media.”

Senator McKenzie, a shooting enthusiast, added: “I’m a licenced firearm owner. I well and truly know and appreciate the positive economic, social and environmental benefit that shooting and hunting sports provide to our nation but I think the NRA and the type of behaviour they want to see rolled out in countries across the world is not fit for purpose for our nation.”

“I think it’s outrageous that they’re going over and selling some sort of level of influence that they can flip overnight our legislative agenda,” she said, adding it looked like One Nation “had dollar signs in their eyes”.

“We need to make sure all our legislation, including our firearm regulation, reflects who we are as a nation and how we want to regulate a variety of issues within our borders,” Senator McKenzie said.

“We don’t need Americans telling us how to do it.”




Footage of One Nation’s Queensland leader Steve Dickson and chief of staff James Ashby meeting with the US gun lobby emerged overnight following an undercover investigation by Al Jazeera.

The duo made the request for donations in a meeting with National Rifle Association of America officials and other pro-gun groups in the US.

Double standards much? :roll:

The NRA couldn't give one damn about gun laws in Australia.

I don't agree with foreign donations to ANY political party in Australia but the GetUp/ALP alliance is far more dangerous to us imo. The NRA would have absolutely nothing to gain here politically.

Most of the guns seized from the bikie and Middle Easterm crime gangs in Sydney (who are the ones with all the illegal weapons) have been manufactured in China.
