Yes , for those of us with our feet on the ground, Bligh and Carr talking about their green credentials in the last week is a sign of their being completely out of touch with long term practice change in the area.Like so many "resilience" is just a word . Green labor is not working and it will never work ,because it doesn't understand the subject. The Greens are not serious contenders on conservation practice ; The Greens are not serious contenders for credibility on resilience either - they hardly know what the word means -( even though like all quick fixers and meredescription merchants , it won't stop them being the first to throw the word into the hubub -774 today )
Good intentions are never enough in politics and those who celebrate its ascendancy should leave politics ; leave it to those who practice in the area .
At the heart of Labor's loss in Queensland is a con. While it takes 2 to tango , no government can EVER continue to employ public servants who clearly can't cut it on the ground; ground they so carelessly now control. Biodiversity protection requires the ultimate commitment - a proper education. Not the sporting stuff of marginal politics.

Labor - short term gain - long term pain
The conservatives will take Queensland ( 5.30 pm Saturday 24th March 2012)
Last time Labor strategists won an electorate they did it by putting up a candidate who appeals to conservatives . By pulling him out they showed themselves to be totally untrustworthy . Why does the Labor party put up with such amoral strategists.
Members of the Party need to ask themselves not only whether the end justifies the means ,but more importantly, whether there is indeed a God worthy of the name .
Can't see them doing that - can you ? Does that mean they will be stuck in reactionary mode for eons? .Confession is good for the soul, because the party then could finally and in reality, really move on .
Surely people who think Labor is making historical decisions in Parliament each week are confused about how clever they are,and the sort of God like power they are able to muster.

The Katter phenomenon
It was said by the most thoughtful people in Europe even before WW2 that "if we didn't get Adolf we would have got someone like him" . Someone who could only see the power for himself and not the danger in the mob .Tis true wisdom to face this . Malcolm Turnbull is not wise, as are those who welcome his free wheeling independant mind talk. : If you try to stand for everything, you stand for nothing .. mate !
Its therefore really stupid and simplistic to think Katter is a wacko to be ignored/isolated . Brecht said . "The bitch is in heat again "and bright boys from the past "strange disguises "
Just like its stupid and simplistic to think (As farmer of year O"Brien said on Qanda last night
- the city suddenly knows what the country needs
- the city knows so much and is in such a rush that it will squash the voices of those who cry " get the facts first, get it right before you fight "
Its of course most stupid and simplistic of all to think that the problem is "one person a long way from ourselves" . Katter represents his constituency . Did you not notice the Windsors and the Oakeshotts doing the same , while the rest of parliament play position games in the kindergarten and the club.
Qanda prefers games to really answering questions - think of how few questions they deal with well.
Turnbull thinks he can win power by sidling up to Greenlabor and they love him for it. O"Brien would have taken a real man out of the audience last night instead of Turnbull, but the "not me mate " questioner who unfortunately for the smallgroups in our society , had no time for politics and representation really . Sad when the silly game of ignorance they play on qanda is about personalities and not people and competence - what fools they all made of themselves trying to talk about something they didn't understand (CC AGW) .
The audience would have welcomed just one honest person in that sycophantic collection who said " best you ask someone who understands this stuff '-( where is the climate commissioner when you need him ?) " Malcolm is winning assent in the club, but losing it where it really matters.
(Mitchell described Katter as dangerous - what a joke ! Takes one to know one . He lets a really dangerous man like Kennett back to talk . The truth is dangerous if you want to be pedantic ; just make sure your accusations well or they will come back to bite you .- remember Kennett like us knows the problem the problem is that such an arrogant person who thinks they know the answer is very attractive and therefore much more dangerous than one who just insists on the truth being told )
Will the ignorant and arrogant win the next election ?-who knows
well it certainly won't be the current lot---not in Queensland one: the deeper truth is " short term gain long term pain" Malcolm and Bligh living the dream .
