Bob Brown just admitted what we have been saying all along: That it is the Greens who control the Government, and there is no way in hell they would allow an election when they've got it as good as this:
But the Greens leader was also forced to defend reports he was disappointed his [b]power sharing arrangement with Labor was not delivering greater rewards for his party.
[b]“No, I don't feel that is the case,”[/b] Senator Brown said.
The Greens leader said the debate over a [b]carbon pricing[/b] regime [b]was only featuring on the national agenda because of the influence of his party[/b].
“There would be no carbon pricing debate in Australia. [b]Both the big parties went to the election saying they would put it off.
So Bob Brown and I finally agree on something - the solitary Green tail (Bandt) is wagging the 72 ALP dogs.
Tasmanian Labor/Greens (former Young Liberal) independent, Andrew Wilkie, can't help but throw his 2 bob in on how democracy works.
Frankly politicians would be treating the Australian electorate with contempt if they were to discard the August 2010 election result because they thought they knew better than the voters.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember the voters choosing LNP, 73 seats to 72 for the ALP. Wilkie and the Greens/”Independents” [i]chose Gillard[/i]. The voters didn't get a say in this "government" - just the way, apparently, Wilkie likes it right now.
