No I don't agree with your first claim
Now how about answering the question.
Was the election you speak of a referendum on the Dam?
You don't have to agree, it is a basic fact not in question, now is it?
The destruction of the Mary Valley was one of the main issues for that election, it was not the sole issue as NO election is, so since your question was constructed in its usual infantile way, I chose to ignore it.
The greens main platform is the environment, it is why they were formed; so why were they so willing to sacrifice the environment for political expediency?
No other issue should have over-ridden the environment as far as the greens were concerned.
This is why the greens lost support in this latest election when they should have cleaned up with disaffected labor voters.
Payback is a b1tch.
The environment of Queensland, is all of Queensland.
By ignoring the LNP's attack on other part of the environment, are you being ignorant.
Preferences were decided on a wild range of policies, not just the one issue you want to focus on.
The election was not a referendum on the Dam, repeat, not on the dam.
Greens did not preference Labor in that electorate because of the dam.
Now returning to the topic of the thread.
Why to ALP and Liberal voters vote to be lied to.
