A Message from Bob Brown

24th November 2006

Dear Voter
During the twenty years I knew him, Peter Garrett opposed uranium mining, the Pine Gap spy facility, logging of native forests and nuclear powered ships being allowed into Australian ports.
Not any more. He is now part of the Labor machine. This week in Melbourne Labor rolled out Peter to attack the Greens. That’s because in this age of climate change the Greens’ environment policies are rapidly attracting Labor and Liberal voters.
The Greens remain strong on the principles Peter once sang about.
In Victoria the Greens have preferenced Labor in 60 seats and the Liberals in none. In the others we are leaving it to the voters by having split tickets favouring neither Labor nor Liberal.
But now Labor’s Peter Garrett has written to voters in key Melbourne seats falsely indicating that the Greens pro Labor preference decision is in fact pro Liberal. This is brutal, Labor machine politics. Don’t fall for it.
Labor’s Peter Garrett is not Midnight Oil’s Peter Garrett or the Australian Conservation Foundation’s Peter Garrett. He is now an anti Greens campaigner.
Ignore him. Vote Green.
Bob Brown
Australian Greens Leader

Go urniurl! Fight the Power, fucken!

urniurl said about 5 years ago:

The brutal lie of it all is that in regard to the seats Labor fears loosing to the Greens, if the Greens don't win them, there is no way Labor will loose them, the race is between Greens and Labor. Garrett claims the Greens are helping the Liberals to government which is a total untruth which even dead dick dan could understand.

i heard garrett speak at some political rally recently, he was dull, totally turned into the false politician.

The_Tupelo_Flash said about 5 years ago:

what are peter garrett's views on nuclear power for oz?

i used to believe in him so much - his ideals n' stuff...

surely it hasn't all gone has it?

You know he's fully Labour when the only audience at his speeches are magic silver whiters (as was the case in Randwick yesterday when he was public speaking to about 30 people in the mall)!

Hazard_Man said about 5 years ago:

Just quietly . . . is it worth paying attention to one poli talking about another poli ??

I'd rather hear it from Peter's own lips, even if I do disagree with what he's saying.

aaawwww, judging by the photo in todays Collingwood newsletter ( the Hun) poor old Pete is feeling a bit out of sorts. I expect a similar photo of Justin Madden in the not too distant future.

It was a brilliant idea executed incredibly poorly - insulation makes a massive difference to > cooling and heating for a relatively low cost.

The inside of our house has gone up 2-3 degrees since installing insulation. I reckon we'll need an aircon unit next summer. Brilliant idea.

pandad said about 1 year ago:

I hope so, I detest Justin Madden

crackwhore said about 1 year ago:

you got your wish pandad, Madden is facing a no confidence vote in parliament for the second time in a year, if he loses he'll be the first person to do so in 100 years. Unfortunately if he loses the vote he cannot be forced to resign and will leave the Upper house and run for the Lower house seat of Essendon in the upcoming election.....YAY! the incompetency continues!!!
