Basically, Bob Brown and green colleagues have invested heavily in green technology, and the only way to cash-in on their own portfolio investments is to convince/make temporarily affordable solar alternatives seem almost viable....well, until you read the fine print and understand that the minute a new government are installed, the greens deal no longer applies, so you will be up Bob Brown shit creek without a biodegradable paddle.
My god, PVC panels are not at all environmentally friendly, are quite toxic in fact... so this begs the question, why a "green" party would be promoting something destined to contaminate our planet for many years to come... well, if it weren't for the fact they have a good idea these panels are only a short-term suck-in... for village idiots and leftard idealists praying to their Climate god for some kind of global revolution.
Oh puleeease!
I despise cannabis, think it's a dangerous substance, but I think I liked Bob Brown more when he was promoting it's legalisation/decriminalisation, at least he wasn't blatantly trying to exploit the well-meaning naive public, only appealed to pot-heads and hippy-freaks who were already brain-fucked to start with....so no harm done.
Go for your life, take yourself off the grid.... sadly for you, I don't think Centrelink will cover it.
The Greens have gone all gooey in the corporate fork and no longer pander to bums, so forget free solar panels, their target audience now is the meterosexual frenetic yuppie student body (preferably non-breeders and small 'c' communist hopefuls and Chinese students)...who like totally think rebelling against like the government and stuff, is like totally awesome and stuff, even if they have no fucking idea how to vote, and have never seen a ballot box in their lives.
Greens target those receptive to AGW brainwashing via Al Gore type seminars and social networking sites.... when you are new on campus, it's a big lonely place, so when a friendly beaded colourful hippy-freak bounds up to you like a long lost cousin, and offers to cover your books for free in biodegradable greens paper, complements of the compulsory student union movement you have to join like it or not after handing you a shitty free campus diary and guild food coupons 20% off a late, 50% off a soggy sushi roll...yum yum.......it's easy to get roped into thinking they are there for you and really care about your on-campus welfare.
1st year students are swarmed by them... at USYD, I kid you not, they even locked the back entry to our guild for the first few weeks (of which was a fire hazard btw)...a place we used to socialise, piss-up, eat and hang-out, so we would have to enter via the front doors where the greens had set themselves up on little tables trawling for fresh meat.
They even knew if we were new, ie, wouldn't harass us when in 2nd year, defiantly targeted the 1st years.lol
Honestly, they were a fucking menace.
Ok, kids can be forgiven, but what's your sorry excuse?
The greens are no longer that benign little inconsequential feel-good environmental party... they now accept corporate donations, have broken many of their core party values and ethics of which has divided the party.
Gillard and Bob Brown will both exit within 12 months of each other... Bob will retire before the next election, if he makes it this far, because grass-roots greens are miserable due to he blatant hypocrisy.
He's made a fool of them all, those who truly did have regard for the environment once upon a time.
Bobs drunk with power, and power does some pretty terrible things to some people.
He was always a loose cannon, but now he's just down right dangerous and out of control.
Needs to be stopped, for even the greens sake, the traditional greens anyway..not the new fascist communist watermelon arm we see before us today.
