Crazy Green's Policies


One need only look at the Green's policies on Aboriginal affairs, and animal welfare, to see double standards and hypocrisy. Why do I highlight these two particular areas? Well, read this section, from their animal welfare policy statement:

A ban on the recreational shooting of all animals, including Australian native water birds

Native birds are already protected; but it's the Greens, so we can't expect facts.

Now see this from the Green's policy statement on Aboriginal affairs:

The rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to sustainably hunt, fish and gather native flora and fauna in line with traditional cultural practice

Hold on a minute. I thought the Greens wanted native fauna to be protected (it already is). Yet they propose a policy of allowing Aboriginal people the right to use traditional methods of hunting.

Traditional Aboriginal methods of hunting include the use of spears to kill kangaroos, and the burning of bush habits to scare animals out into the open. The Greens think this traditional form of hunting is acceptable, yet the more humane methods used by modern hunters is unacceptable.

Only in the Green's twisted world would spearing an animal to death be considered more acceptable than a quick, single shot from a rifle.

But that's the crazy Greens for you.
