Actually in the Auburn Council, it was the ones who you would identify as Greenies or at least socially conscious, who fought tooth and nail against the developers. One managed to get a lift at our train station for the disabled recently, another to have trees planted along our stark main street. There are several other issues they fought for and won a couple. They were the only ones fighting for the community at large. They may be off with the pixies in some issues Woodsie, but at least Greenies seem to have a social conscience and not be bound purely by avarice, like our developers and many members of the two major parties, of which they used to con people into voting for them.. We've got a local group called The Battler, which has about forty odd members[ of the community who totally finance themselves, while holding employment elsewhere, printing out leaflets on a regular basis identifying the needs of the community. Good, honest folk trying to improve the lot of the majority, not the few. I'll take them any day over your standard politician./QUOTE]
