WHITE GOES FULL BORE GREEN IN SENATE

The DRINKSTER is not much of a one for telling folks how to vote, but having helped both Don Dunstan (ALP - left) and Dean Brown (LCP - right) get elected in different ways on very different days, I'm confident that in this nefarious and disgusting election campaign, the only speech that makes any clear honest sense is this one from Senator Christine Milne (above and below).  The Old Parties are obviously too gnarly, ego-blocked and varicosed in their dumb macho dogma to make any clear honest sense in these scary times of high spin, new heat and no water.  It's very important that you click today's speech to the National Press Club for a good hard listen before you cast your vote on Saturday. If your industry really wants to look green and environmentally-responsible, you won't get there by voting for any mob that will chop $650 million from the Murray water buy-back scheme, supports fracking, the mining of Tasmania's Tarkine wilderness, or the lopping of Australia's scarce old-growth cool-climate rainforests to make Murdoch/Fairfax arsewipes and chip wrappers. Trust Unca Phil.  I endorse this bright verdant product, and Australia needs it badly. Time to clean up, green up, and very deliberately move right on! Oh, and here's the Senator on farming and vineyards.
