We interrupt this blog for a party political message to Victorian voters from Bob Brown, the Australian Greens Leader and take the opportunity of wishing Justin Walker all the best in his bid for the seat of Prahran after a predictable smear campaign by Ruppys gutter press."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

Peter put his party ahead of the environment. That is one of the greatest sell outs in modern political history.
If Kimbo fell in line with the USA on their next idiotic incursion into a foreign country, what would peter do? people or party?
Sell out twice you would have to think, brokenleg. He should have a look at Phil Ruddock to see what happens, when you sell your soul to a crass party and leader.
If you were a middle aged pop singer, thinking about the years ahead, you too might find a politicians pension for the rest of your life very tempting indeed. You can't put food on the table with ideology can you?
