"The Greens received about 13 per cent of the primary vote in Saturday's (Penrith by-)election and even beat Labor at some polling booths."
I can't help but suspect that the two major political parties in Australia are more than a bit worried about the rise and rise of the Greens, as we near the 2010 federal election?
As attested-to on ABC TV's “Q&A” mainstream political party publicity program this week, the big two, (three if we separate the Nationals party from the coalition) of Labor and the Lib/Nats are gunning against the Greens whenever they get the opportunity.
The Q&A panel was fitted-up so that the Greens Senator, that-is, the FEMALE Green's Senator Sarah Hanson-Young was stuck sitting between the heavy-hitting Malcolm Turnbull (male-chauvinist 1) of the extreme right-wing federal Liberal party, another “heavy-hitting” lobbyist for the national corruption lobby group, Greame Richardson (male chauvinist 2) and the milder, (but trying his best to be both a heavy-hitter AND a male chauvinist 3) Craig Emerson of the right-wing federal ALP.
It is reasonable to suggest that it was polite to place Sarah in the centre of the panel, albeit that they placed the other FEMALE on the outer left-hand end. But she, a Ms Brown, from a political think-tank, isn't a politician, and isn't a GREENS politician?
The boyz gave Sarah a very “rude” time, let's say.
She handled them, and I suspect would have been able to give them all a good verbal slapping off-stage, off-camera, should she have felt like it.
The general thrust of the boyz' onslaughts against Sarah, was a clear barrage against the Greens, not Sarah personally.
Wherever we look, we will see evidence of an all-out attack on the ever-rising Greens party in Australia, and should we do the research, we'd find the same has been and probably still is, going on globally.
On another right-wing (and, it must be said, they would admit to that 'unashamedly') ABC Radio National program “Counterpoint”, this week had an interview with a deconstructer of the Greens overall make-up.
The tenor of interviewers and interviewee was clearly denigration of - The Greens - although from my end of the audial spectrum, I was glad to hear what the interviewee was telling us.
One of his comments was that “the Greens are, by far, the wealthiest party” (paraphrased), made-up of highly educated and professional supporters, many, if not most, from the upper class.
This does, I admit, deal-up the mixture of whether they have made their piles from the mainstream corruption of our not-at-all-very-Green society and corporate worlds, and if so, are they that committed to a Greener world that they would vote for a party which would.., might.., take us to a very Revolutionary REALPolitik, Scientifically-based econo-political system, seeing as the wealthy of our planet in-general make their dosh from the rudest industries and least ethical business dealingssssz?
I suspect..., that many of today's Greens' supporters/voters, are the young adults of the world, whose parents have made the millions and given the youngies an easy life on daddy's inheritance, a nice few acres in a very nice region (anyone remember 'Nimbin'?), but who've dropped-out of the mainstream, in-the-main because they have had the luxury of being able to do so, but also, or perhaps mainly because they have had the time, and the education, enough to THINK, about the world they live in, and about how best to live in it?
And, almost anyone who is given the time to THINK, will agree that living as Greenly as possible, is the only REAL option?
So, whether the wealthy Greens' sponsors, supporters, voters, members and party representatives are from the upper class corporate worlds, whether they sit on corporation boards, executive, or management, or work in less sky-scraping offices, industries, and general employment, they are, even today, most often regarded, by the mainstream - society and political parties - as some weird kind of “Vego Outlaws”, and thus come in for a bollocking whenever there's more than a few beer-guts and buff-chums to 'bravely' talk down to them.
Of the last five or so years, I have come out of the closet and admitted that I am - a Green! But that I'm also of Aboriginal descent, AS WELL AS fearlessly aligning myself and my politics - my REALPolitiks - with the world's Bikers.
Since then, in the last few years, the ALP government in South Australia attempted, with the new Western Australian Liberal government, to denigrate and dissemble Australia's Biker Clubs.
That-is, those state governments, long-known to be managing the corruption in those regions, as do the other state parliaments, have sought to denigrate anyone who might be regarded as genuine and serious opposition to their hegemony.
So I cannot but see that.., as the Bikers of Australia, with my influence, have been aligned with the other more “establishment” Greens, Greens who are regarded by the establishment as the Vegetarian Outlaws, for not following the accepted morally bankrupt mainstream politics and economics, it seems that the big parties will manipulate media and thus people's minds and votes away from the Greens, by any means.
The other of my "Three Wise Tribes" - Aborigine - have had disgustingly severe maltreatment since the Rum Rebellion in 1808, so, while there have been SOME advances by whitey in Recognising the Enlightened Bleck Fellas as Human Beings since, they still remain prisoners in their own Country - the Northern territory “intervention” put in place by the fascist Howard misgovernment IS APARTHIED Kevin Rudd, and that one of the proponents of that evil regimen, Tony Abbott, is currently leader of the HER MAJESTY'S federal opposition indicates how ignorant and demoniacally corrupt the whole charade is - do not have the rights and Standing that we white invaders have - Sovereignty - and so receive only muted denigration by our media and politicians.
“Not P.C., old chum!”
Nevertheless, this didn't stop the brave Abbott from slurring whiteys more noble attempts to reconcile our past with the Aborigines, that of opening official functions, meetings, talks and presentations et al et al, with Recognition and Praise of the Aboriginal Owners of the Country wherever the event occurred. Abbott shot a totally ignorant and disrespectful slight at that (new) Custom (Ancient to the Aborigine) by saying he thought it was “...going a bit far” or such.
No-one backed him up on that one, but he did say it nevertheless.
I don't tie that comment with my alignment with those Three Wise Tribes, because I know racism is the foundational “building-block” of this fine nation, something the mainstream utterly refuse to admit.
So Abbott can get away with it, and the mainstream racism-denialists merely utter a smug chuckle under their breath.
And to be sure, they would shout “HOORAY!” when they are with enough similarly-simple minded mates -to-be-sure-to-be-sure, and “Uch-aye, Jimmay!” from the Scottish contingent.
So..., in the weeks-days before election Saturday, whenever Kev and cabinet dare decide, strange and sensational media events are sure to win our nerves and attention, and somewhere in some of them, we will hear those attacks on Greens, Aborigines and OH LOOK? Bikers.
Funny that the media gave very little attention to the results enjoyed by the Greens in last Saturday's Penrith NSW state by-election?
13% of the vote!
“The Greens received about 13 per cent of the primary vote in Saturday's election and even beat Labor at some polling booths.” (unquote ABC news online: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/19/2931597.htm?site=sydney)
Funny that an armed young man went a bit silly in Melbourne on the very next Monday, and allegedly said after his capture, that he was heading for some “Bikie mates” to hide with, from the coppers?
I admit I thought, for a while, before I could get online and read the MEDIA's versions of events, that the young man, was as likely from a Catholic college. A Catholic college not unlike the one in Bundoora, the one where David Finch, my ex-boss who tried with his private school mates for years to get me dead, and one Steve Bracks, whom I essentially put into government and the Premier's chair in Victoria in 1999, then ordered OUT of the chair a few years ago, for being a 30-pieces-of-silver traitor, were indoctrinated?
I did, for a while think (dangerous stuff that THINKING?) that the same evil Catholic college, or it's head priests of Christian Brothers, are attempting to destroy the Bikers and that other scurrilous bunch of Intelligent and Honorable Outlaws, the Greens, pre-election, (perhaps they've read the tea-leaves???), because 1, the Catholics, as represented by the ALP (and Tony Abbott), may be routed this year, and 2, because I ordered Bracks OUT!?
Well...! I reckon I wuz wrong.
IT WUZ THA POPE!!!!
Vote Greens!
End the charade!
Justice and Sustainable Government from here forward!
