But the ALP is not very "democratic" in recognising individual contributions re positions in the Ministry.<br />Steve Whan is not my favourite Minister, (Primary Industries, incl Mining) for he has approved far to many coal and CSG mines, for my liking.<br />Also I am wary of ALL 2nd generation Politicians, and Labor is full of them. Libs have some, not as many.<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-443755185164987222011-03-20T19:55:51.114+11:002011-03-20T19:55:51.114+11:00Hi Le Loup.

...Hi Le Loup.<br />Thanks for your interest and support.<br />The day seems to have gone well. Several hundred at the rally. <br />Haven't seen any media yet, so I am not sure what the public impression will be.<br />We can but try.<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-74313387768807203212011-03-20T11:47:34.232+11:002011-03-20T11:47:34.232+11:00A great (but sad) post Denis.

The Liberals and Labor are both pro-development (for slightly different reasons). The Greens seem to be obsessed with process.<br /><br />In terms of NSW politics we have a good member (Steve Whan)but I am afraid he is going to get his bottie kicked for a very lacklustre campaign and guilt by association. I suspect Monaro will be a tight seat: Steve is popular; the national guy is running a strong campaign in Queanbeyan and the Greens candidate hasn't done anything daft. The difficult bit will be to avoid coming 3rd!<br /><br />Our Federal member (Mike Kelly) is great but has vanished from view after the last election when he got demoted, despite being one of the few ALP people to do well. A bit too loyal to the Ruddster I suspect.Flabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-28166797853609223402011-03-20T09:03:21.947+11:002011-03-20T09:03:21.947+11:00Good luck Denis, & thank you.

As for what happens next - its almost as if that doesn't matter any more - we really have no choice. Its a bit like putting down the family pet, which has gone mad and threatens to kill your grandchild.<br />Thanks Missy. Queenslanders will be well represented today. They are at the forefront of this Industry, and at the forefront of the protest.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-13335588197064202832011-03-20T08:09:31.384+11:002011-03-20T08:09:31.384+11:00Hope the rally goes well and is well attended.

And I don't imagine that the rally will change anything even if there is a change of government. Why would the Lib/Nats not do similar business with the resource industry moguls? It will be interesting to see if there is any result in this for the Greens - however, after the hubris displayed by them in the recent Victorian state elections, I don't have any confidence in them and believe they lack the maturity and nous needed for government for all.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862531789968068093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-51776423747737611872011-03-20T02:53:09.386+11:002011-03-20T02:53:09.386+11:00Hi Catmint.
