New South Wales Greens MP Lee Rhiannon has been found to have misused public funds.

A minor mistake to be sure.

The Green's Top Leaf, federal Senator Bob Brown asked her to resign from her NSW post, and she has said she would not.

I guess, with all the crap oozing for decades from the mainstream political parties, in both NSW and the federal arena, Lee's retort that the main parties are out to stymie the Greens, is accurate.

She knows this is the modus operandi she and the Greens will have to endure perpetually, and knows that any bitching within the Greens would be blown out of proportion by the enemy.

However, as they do, such minor news can, and perhaps should be played for all it's worth.

So, perhaps Lee Rhiannon and her advisers are playing the media game until the Greens have captured an increase in media attention.

But Greens know also that they are in foreign waters, shark-infested media-scrums swim and loiter all round, especially before such election events.

They and I recall well how the last Liberal/National government of Johnette Howard and coven slept nightly with the media and each day had a new sensation to exaggerate about.

Often, events did not actually happen (“Children overboard”?), but were brought into people's awareness, and played with, through fiction, until, because it made the media, the mainstream media, even while most voters knew how corrupt both politicians and media were, “scandals” were almost automatically accepted as fact.

Illegitimate governments have climbed into the leaders chair for eons through this illegal method.

It is the modus operandi for all modern politicians, and the New South Welsh “State game” centred in MacQuarie Street Sydney, is the centre of “spin operations” for most of the nation.

It would be dangerous to think that, no matter how naughty Ms Rhiannon was, she could win in a media-grab.

Also, while I think Bob Brown is more of a Democrat, than an autocrat, so would not assert his will here, he has asked her to step down.

I'd assume his thinking was to avoid that old media-bomb “the scandal”, knowing a scandal doesn't have to have happened for it to bring down politicians and governments.

Ex-PM Kevin Rudd fell by the same game.

Australia can thank “Foxtel's” Murdoch senior and junior for that travesty.

It does seem practical for Lee to step away from the shit-pit of NSW politrix.

She surely would then be able to concentrate more on the priority of being elected to the federal Senate.

I guess the question also goes to the future for the Greens in the NSW parliament?

NSW has an election in 2011, so I guess she would see the need to groom a Greens candidate to replace her?

From my outlaw outsider and out of grog perspective, a forward-looking Greens party would eventually march for dissolution of Australia's state parliaments.

The evidence and Science cannot be ignored. States, as we know them, are defunct. Lame ducks. Anachronisms, seed-beds for corruption and, we don't need them anymore.

That doesn't mean to forget them and just ignore their prognostications. Not while the “Rum Club” of the totally disreputable Sydney mafia still breathe.

So there has to be a strong representation, especially in NSW by those who are not a part of the “game” of NSW and Australian mainstream politrix, to do as the dying “Democrats” sought to do, and “keep the bastards honest!”

So, that's my thinks.

Another way, to deconstruct the error-laden state parliaments, would be to make a nationwide drive to increase Greens presence in Local Councils.

They, Local Councils as we've known them, too, are largely out of date, and entrenched corruption thrives in them as well.

But they are, nevertheless, dramatically closer to the people, and are places where the Locals can, without having to be born into the upclub classes and private schools, without having to win a course in hypnotism, called “a law degree”, can attend, learn the processes and partake.

Besides, Local Councils accord fully with the fundamentals in political and governmental science.

Logical. Approachable. Understandable. Accessible. Etc.

An increase across the nation's local councils, of Greens' representation, is almost a done thing, what with the general call for a greener world, et al.

With a right-minded “Greener” Local Council, existing under corrected federal management, there would come control of the resources of the region, control of which industries and cultural growth develop, the “quality” of education for the future generations would be closer to the Wisdom of a Sustainable Culture.

And there would best come the nationwide call to dissolve the middle-tier of state governments.

On education..., Today's western education is about as poor quality as we could get.

Do not be fooled to think that a high-priced “college” or private education is high quality.

In terms of the REAL needs each child must access to grow into a Wise, Mature and Healthy Adult, our schools and universities are utter disasters, and there is not one mainstream political party who is anywhere NEAR making these centuries-old educational flaws right.

The Human society in general has descended far below the point where we can correct our failings.

Monarchies and bitch-house parliaments are the expression of that in the arena of social management, and are the lowest level therein.

So too, it is with our educational system.

Standards are important, across nations and the globe. But they need be very few, and common.

Local needs, more relevant in building more sustainable societies, for youths, at the level that they learn at, at school, vary from region to region, mainly in terms of agrarianism or agri-culture.

So Local Schools, released from the farcical national curricula, can focus the classes around what Local kids can learn to be able to stay in the area.

But that's another book.......

Knowing the depth of the bullshit and debauchery that keeps the NSW parliament afloat, were I a person, I'd tell Ms Rhiannon to forget the NSW houses altogether.

But she would out-debate me on that one, I suspect.
