FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda ”Not just because of climate change but because of the rapaciousness of the mining industry and the willingness of both the Liberal and Labor parties in Australia to cave in to the few.
”If ever the Greens were needed in Australian politics, in public life, in redefining the debate in Australia, it’s now.”
Senator Brown leaves the party at its height, having established it as the third force in Australian politics, supplanting the now-extinct Australian Democrats.
It holds the balance of power in the Senate with nine senators and has one lower house MP, Adam Bandt.
While Senator Milne’s ascension to the leadership was unanimous, Mr Bandt was elected the deputy leader, beating Scott Ludlam and Sarah Hanson-Young.
The opposition said the Greens would become even more left-wing under Senator Milne and had no kind words for Senator Brown.
The Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, forecast the party would decline but continue to control Labor in the process.
”The Greens will continue to control this government … because the Gillard government is utterly dependent on the Greens for its rather tenuous hold on power.”
Senator Brown was confident the party would continue to grow and said his departure now would be good for renewal.
He said the abuse heaped on him in recent years by the opposition, talkback radio hosts and other detractors was ”small beer compared to what I copped in Tasmania in the 1980s, particularly as a gay member of the [State] Parliament”.
Senator Brown said he still planned to be an activist for the environment and looked forward to spending more time with his partner, Paul Thomas.
