With still far too many bitter and hating (not to mention ambitious) apparatchiks at its core, it looks like well have to put up with quite a few years yet of ALP strategy being directed towards killing the Greens rather than working with them. That said there are some extraordinary confections in the story below that, of course, the MSM can be relied upon to repeat as if they have some validity. These include: (i) That Adam Bandt has been pre-occupied managing the internal dysfunction of the Greens (with the obligatory party at the end). Talk about Hazelwood power station calling the wind farm black. What internal dysfunction? Forgotten the Rudd and Gillard Governments already have we, let alone where Abbott is heading? (ii) That as Deputy Leader, Adam has been distracted from addressing Melbournes core needs. The evidence, of course, being that after three years as Deputy Leader Adam was returned with a massive swing from Melbournes neglected voters. Come in spinner. For those non-fans of ancient Chinese generals who refuse to pay to look behind the Huns pay walls the text of this confection is below: Labor’s attack on Deputy Greens Leader Adam Bandt A HIGH-profile Melbourne City councillor could be Labor’s great white hope to wrest the federal seat of Melbourne back from the Greens. Richard Foster hit the headlines last year when he said the CBD should be smoke-free and pushed for further non-smoking zones to be rolled out. He plans to attack the Greens by highlighting their failed election promises, saying “only a party in Government can create real solutions”. The federal seat of Melbourne is held by the Green’s Adam Bandt by a margin of 5.9 per cent, and has historically been held by Labor. “Adam Bandt is an absent landlord neglecting local needs while he seems to spend his time managing the internal dysfunction of the Greens party,” Cr Foster said. The 40-year-old father of one warned Melbourne’s livability was in danger. “Being deputy leader of the Greens has clearly distracted (Mr Bandt) from addressing Melbourne’s core needs.” Labor’s candidate is expected to be formally announced by March 18.
