Bob Brown to propose bill for ACT legislative independence

maybe for trying to impersonate

Yeeessss!! A story on cannibalism. Onya bobby for jumping on that cause

At least she’ll get to wear her crocodile hunting khaki again

Here’s a thought – maybe bobby can get her to be the new face of the greens in that clobber. And get her to find an earless lizard or something – preferably on the other side of Bass Strait.

That’s got to be better than annoying us in the ACT!

I’m assuming Blob’s specialty prior to joining the Senate wasn’t something called Constitutional Law.

I met him once, his personality was as wet as his handshake

rumour is that it was to be a story on cannibalism – hardly the Papuan cause I would think Bob would be interested in

of course, we’ll never see the story they were going to make and will never know if it was just going to be a cheap ratings grab, POS story – like the rest of Today Tonight’s ‘journalism’.

Now we’ll have to put up with a special on her ‘ordeal’… joy

Hang on – he’s just found another cause so this might lose priority

I was browsing net news sites and saw a headline that Noami Robson was to be deported (bewdy, there is a god after all). But, alas, she’s to be deported back here from Papua (bloody misleading MSM)

But now bobby has jumped on board and lauded Naomi and her Ch7 cohorts for highlighting the Papuan cause. Hooray for bobby.

*yawn* do the Greens ever have anything relevant to say?

OK, so they’d need to pass a bill rather than make a disallowable instrument.

In essence a difference of 1 to the number of votes they need in the Senate to make it happen.

…so, the pulp mill protesting isn’t alleviating the relevance deprivation syndrome

Note the Bill would take away the power of the EXECUTIVE to overide Territory laws [ie John Howard], not the PARLIAMENT.

Well i wouldn’t mind us getting the loot that 12 senators would bring.

but sure, this is a stunt, no parliament can bind its successors. unless Bob’s going to amend the constitution the ACT’s law will remain subordinate to the commonwealth.

The ACT is a territory – territories can have their laws over-rided. Its a simple fact of life. Its constitutional law (I imagine).

Is Mr Brown introducing similar legislation for the Northern Territory?

NT have had at least one if not two (or more) referendums to become a state and they all failed to receive enough community support.

Does anyone here think that the local community would support a movement for the ACT to become a state? Stanhope as Premier? I doubt it.
