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..
Bear, it is difficult for me to accept your admonishment for harboring preconcieved notions about Greenies in a post in which you advance and champion preconcieved ideas about developers .....
My suggestion to ban both extremes holds ......
