VOTE GREENS TOADY!

You care about the environment, about climate change and our future
right?????????

Well then take a few meesley frikken minutes out of your ''precious''
day to consider your preferences and which Government you would prefer
the Greens to work with in the next Parliament.

At this election you face a serious choice.

Your preferences count, and make sure you exercise your vote
carefully.

A preference to Julia Gillard and Labor will ensure that you will get
a government that believes in action on climate and will act to
protect our natural environment.

VOTE GREENS!

What's TOADY????????????

 

The Greens oppose burning off to protect against bush fires don't they.

 

its sad you know that!

 

Then don't vote green. They are the dumb idiots that voted the ets
down.

I went to the trouble of filling in the senate ticket and placed the
greens very last. I hope more do the same. Keep the greens out of the
senate.

 

Yes they do and when a fire comes along it burns half the state which
doe sfar more damage than any burning off does.

They seem to think bush fires are un natural but hwta they fail to
understand is nature often causes bush fires by itself with lightning
strikes. Next they'll be against lightning which creates ozone.

Lol.

 

It shouldn't be opposed anyway, trees near roads and homes are hazards.

 

The Greens are about the values of the inner city, and some of the
smoking habits. People seem to forget that we are only in a small
position of the geographical country.

 

You know why they voted the ETS down?

because they "care about the environment, about climate change
and our future" and the ETS would have been basically useless.

they only voted it down after the government refused to consider
their amendments that would have made the ETS actually useful.

 

Nope.

29. develop and adequately fund fuel reduction burning strategies based on the latest research on scientific fire ecology, fire behavior information and indigenous fire management practices, in consultation with experts, custodians and land managers
30. increase funding for bushfire research to include the effective use of fire, strategies for controlling arsonists, and best environmental and fire risk minimization in building practices.

 

Er, YEP. They are solely responsible for the 200 or more deaths in
Victoria last year.

 

hmm.
I'd have thought the

record temperatures, high wind, drought, building codes, stay-or-go policy,
lack of updates from the fire service, slow response, lightning strikes/arson
etc etc would carry *at least* some responsibility for the deaths...

but hey, that's your belief...

 

Of course ALL the things above contributed to the fires. But the
reality is that if the Greens didn't block the back burning, none of
these other issues you raised above would have been sufficient to
cause 200 or more unnecessary deaths.

 

did they actually block it?
got a cite?

and of course the building codes, stay-or-go policy and timely info would
each even on their own have saved at least some of those lives.

 

What the Greens want everybody to do of course.

 

<sarcasm>Which is why the entire US East Coast burns to the ground every
year.</sarcasm>

 

Is it still illegal to publicly encourage others to vote informal?

I like the idea of registering the "Informal Party" so that I can then put
up advertising exhorting people to "Vote X Informal!"

An informal vote is perfectly valid.

If you go back to the days of the dams debate in Tasmania in the 80s
the newly formed Greens party were asking people to just write NO DAMS
across the paper.

The only law is that if you are enrolled (which I am not) is that you
turn up at a polling station, get your name registered and put the
paper in the box. What you write on that paper is up to you.

It is my recollection that they said "vote AND write "No Dams".

And that a large number (in fact most) of No Dams votes were valid,
and not informal.

An informal vote is not a valid vote by definition.

It might be a legal vote in that you turned up, got ticked, and put a
ballot paper in the box, it is not valid.

The story I remember from a few years back was of a bloke getting some
gaol time for the act of *encouraging others* to vote informal.

Casting an informal ballot is perfectly legal, but the implication was
that going out on a campaign to exhort other people to vote informal was
not.
