I am going to leave it to others to set the pace, but we are so lucky to have real politicians with a social conscience such as Sarah. Reminds me of Chiffley, Menzies and Fraser.

Where our fellow human being is above money and political gain.

We are all equal on this earth from our birth and we need to SHARE.
 
She should change her name to Sarah Hanson DUMB, I have never seen a woman say the DUMB things she has said on TV that was so wrong, but then again she is a green.
 
Possibly plod is being sarcastic?
 
Sarah's heart is in the right place, although her head may be elsewhere at times

 
Wasn't it sarah two fathers who thought that 'Sea Patrol' was a documentary ?
 
Oh I get it now. There is evidence of hypocrisy. I think we are all hypocritical but some may be oblivious to the fact.

social conscience is free. social policy is not.

My broad understanding of the Greens is that they are interested in protecting the planet for further generations.

What a fracking "DUMB" concept.

Your use of the term broad is totally appropriate when describing the Greens and why they are allowed so much latitude by the media. Provided it is remotely arguable that it is in the interest of the environment they can throw up any old tripe as a policy and not come under scrutiny.

A black tragedy almost of a polemic slant. Survival of the fittest, sibling rivalry, genetics, greed and money ruins socialism every time.
 

As least Milne is gone. De Natalie seems more sensible, less radical, and willing to compromise.

It indeed seems so; I wish the Greens could go back to a green agenda, not an idealistic left wing utopia;
Illegal immigrants and migration all together is a thread to Australia environment as is any increase of population here so any Green party actually interested in the environment should be the a fierce immigration opponent...yet...
I am afraid the Green party was not the slightest interested in the environment with the previous leader, maybe the balance will change with De Natalie and this would see better policies achieved from both major parties for the better of Australia instead of political scoring.
But might just be wishes....
I have not been impressed by Sarah Hanson-Young so far.

If they were really "interested in protecting the planet for further generations", they'd make a stand to curb population growth all around the planet.
Overpopulation - especially in areas with limited or depleted resources to feed man and beast - is the key problem. Exporting the surplus into "affluent" regions will only spread the misery around the globe. It may provide temporary relief, but that only facilitates further births, accelerating the problem at the source. As long as religious and well-meaning "humane" leaders persist on outdated concepts of sanctity and equality of lives - the greater the head count, the greater their glory - future generations have Buckley's chance. But starry-eyed Utopians continue to ignore the Elephant in the Room.
 

Spot on pixel.

Population growth will have more of an impact well before any effects of climate change.

I remember when I was young and opinionated, I was walking down the Hay Street Mall in Perth.

A couple of well meaning young people, asked me if I wanted to sponsor young people in Africa.
I asked them, who would sponsor the children of the ones I sponsored?

The world is overpopulated, yet it is the easiest, most enjoyable and least qualified function, we carry out.
 

Tongue in cheek or not, she is a good source of facts e.g.:
