Greens proving their irrelevance

The Greens as usual miss the point and decide to use their new found power to introduce bills that will only impact on a tiny group of Australians

Greens leader Bob Brown’s decision to introduce a private member’s bill to restore the power of parliaments in the Northern Territory and the ACT to legislate for euthanasia poses a political challenge for the minority Labor government and for Gillard.

and this….

THE Greens have wasted no time flexing their new parliamentary muscles, with senator Sarah Hanson-Young set to introduce same-sex marriage legislation into the upper house later today.

Foreign Affairs…defence…Afghanistan…taxes..Climate Change…nah none of that stuff. Let’s just concentrate on our single issue, small impact, left wing contentious issues. Stuff the other 90% of the country.
