i think bob's decision was based on the legal requirement for all parties to nominate their senators for another 6 year term prior to the next fed. election. bob said that, at the age of 67, it was time to step aside for younger applicants.

i will miss him in the green party, but he will still be around, and continue to grow in influence and stature.

i'm also excited about christine m. and the future of the greens, other progressive parties and independents in our parliaments.

in my opinion, i see the old labor and liberal parties as relevant to the last century and the industrial age. its obvious that they are confused about how deal with the very different challenges of this century, and are also terrified of change. and change is inevitable.

You can think that if you want, but all of us here in the real world know why he quit. He was jumping ship before forced to walk the plank by an electorate fed up to the gills with the insane policies and incompetence of this minority Labor/Greens government and in particular, opposition to the carbon and mining taxes!

The problem with that fantasy, Tony's office girl, is Brown was a cert to be re elected by a Tassy electorate for another 6 years, do you practice being an idiot, or does it come naturally,sweety?

Yet Greens are not the government. Of course I understand the political process of democracy may be hard for Regressives to grasp, since this point has been made over and over and over.

Greens will be upfront at the next election, proud of all our achievements this term.

I didn't say HE would not get re-elected. My point was that following the next election, Abbott would be PM with a vast majority (something Gillard could never obtain) and with that majority, the Greens would once again be irrelevant and Bob Brown would be reduced to rambling, nonsensical speeches at logging protests that no media would turn up for.

As the bits I've highlighted show, you did say he would walk the plank, IE not be re elected. I think you're related to matty . You would have to be related to be as stupid as you are and try and back out of comments that can be highlighted so easily so as to show you up as the lying fool you are.
