Greens MP says Greens are corrupt and rotten

Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham refuses to step aside as party seeks his exit


NSW Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham is rejecting the party’s request that he step down, saying he is exploring his legal options.

The Greens NSW State Delegates Council passed, by consensus, a proposal to request Mr Buckingham vacate his position on the ticket during a meeting on Saturday, weeks after he was accused of sexual misconduct.

It was agreed his presence would stop the party from campaigning effectively ahead of next year’s election, a statement said.

The MP has been the subject of a 2011 sexual harassment allegation re-aired under parliamentary privilege by factional rival Jenny Leong, although an independent investigation recommended no adverse findings against him.

Mr Buckingham denies the alleged incident involving a party staffer and another claim by Ms Leong of intimidation.

He said on Sunday that he’d been “one of best environmental campaigners in Australia” and had poured his “heart and soul” into the party.

“But the fact of the matter is, as an organisation, the NSW Greens are corrupt and rotten,” he told reporters in Sydney.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Is Buckingham the Sekta of the Greens party, or is it the other way round?

Wow, that's profound.

A grassroots Queensland Jewish group has accused the Greens of stoking anti-Semitism and hatred in the wake of the October 7 attacks in Israel, launching a billboard and letterbox campaign against the minor party in key seats ahead of the state election.

The Australian can reveal the Queensland Jewish Collective has registered as a third party for the October 26 election, and has already raised more than $20,000 in community donations to fund 12,000 pamphlets and erect billboards in Brisbane electorates targeted by the Greens.

A first wave of advertisements compares the Greens protesting dams in the 1980s to today’s pro-Palestine movement, accusing the party of abandoning its core environmental message to support terror, indoctrinate children to hate, and undermine Australian values.

This week, the QJC will launch another series of billboards in partnership with the Australian Hindu Association and local Iranian community to take a stand for marginalised groups.

“They no longer stand for all minorities,” reads one of the QJC flyers. “They support our persecutors and terrorisers here and overseas. We’re putting them last.”

“The rhetoric that has been coming out of the Greens, not just candidates, but the members, has been so one-sided with no nuance … it’s actually making Jews scared.

“Over the last 12 months, it has been so pro-hate and divisive that we couldn’t just sit here and not do anything.”

“Many Jews in Brisbane actually vote for the Greens because we care about the environment, we care about social justice,” she said.

“But the Greens are not that party anymore.”

Mr Turier said he believed anti-Semitism had “absolutely corrupted” the Greens.

“If someone can show me another reason why there’s this obsessive focus on demonising Israeli actions, then I’m happy to consider it, but nobody’s been able to,” he said.

One of the figures in the new advertisement campaign, Hesam Orouji, said he moved to Australia eight years ago to live in a secular society for greater security. The Iran Novin Party member said he had to take a stand after being re-traumatised by people yelling anti-Semitic chants and carrying terrorist flags.

“I don’t know why they support this politics, which is against the Australian values and against humanity,” Mr Orouji said.  “I’m not in Iran anymore, but I can see same things happening here.”

So on the one hand, he's pro-Israel. I can see how that makes him unpopular.

On the other hand, he's accused of sex crimes. Most parties would ask such a person to stand down pending investigation.

I would say this is his call. Do the right thing, never mind the election.

The Greens are a shadow of their former selves, more interested in the photo op than actually getting things done.

They'd rather fight Labor to the point of assisting the Coalition back into power to seek relevance than to actually get anything done.
