I am afraid you might be waiting a while too many $100,000 "Greenies" living in the suburbs for that to happen.

The only person to really blind side the Greenies was the current Victorian premiere at the last election but at the last minute he dumped the support for preferences with the Greens and pulled off a coup by being elected without their support. In the process he also stopped a few getting into the Victorian Parliament.

I wish the Franklin Dam had never been thought of as that (the protests against it) is what gave him the leg up to National Politics. I think he would still be a Tasmanian Lightweight Politician if it hadn't occurred.

Just my HO.
