Greens co-founder ’Labor stooge’
2003-12-22
I was going to EFL and put this up but Tim Blair has already done most of the work picking out good parts in his BITCHY ARE THE PEACEMAKERS:
The Australian Greens, who eternally request that we demonstrate toxic levels of tolerance and love and harmony, are presently rent apart by hate and rivalry and bitterness:

Co-founder and leading Senate candidate Drew Hutton was accused by his former campaign director of being a Labor stooge ... Peter Pyke, himself a former Labor MP, quit his crucial post three weeks ago after falling out bitterly with Mr Hutton ... Mr Pyke said Mr Hutton’s close relationship with the ALP had been "diabolically" damaging to the Greens ... Mr Hutton hit back angrily, sound like Democrats branding Mr Pyke clueless and disgruntled ... in a November 19 email - in which he admitted that "I don’t particularly like Peter" - yup Mr Hutton dismissed as ludicrous the accusation by Mr Pyke "that I am trying to sabotage the state campaign.”
One of Tim’s readers richly picks up where he left off
’Mr Pyke said he was aware of moves to form a breakaway green party in Queensland, which he would support.’
and asks: "What would they call it? The Queens?"
What else?

Fred, kosher to paste/credit from other people’s blogs? If not, kill this.

#2  Well, it's
-- Amusing. As relevant as the burning hula skirt story.
-- Too good not to share. If Rantburgers generally also read Blair, then agreed it's pointless. If not...
-- Perhaps insightful to watch the death-knell of a political movement, when they turn their hostility against each other. Or it could just turn out to be a p@@ing contest: "This Party's not big enough for both of us!" So have two parties. That way you'll be twice as ineffective.
