Michael -
Your comments deserve a reply - while I have regard but no great love for
Bob I think your jibe about him and Telstra is a rather cheap shot and
ignores the good that he has undoubtedly achieved in many other aspects of
his political career.
Politics derails the "purity of commitment" of most who get involved with
her - Bob has suffered far less from this affliction than most. Ask yourself
if you could do better.
Bob's enduring regard is perhaps best reflected in the fact that he is still
in Parliament and continues the battle, unlike some who either never try or
fail miserably ...

Hullo All.
I regard myself as "green", meaning environmentalist, and have
great regard for Bob Brown's environmental activism, including his affection
for the Great Knot.
Politics seems to have derailed the purity of his commitment.
Anyone who knocks back ten million dollars for the environment on the very
doubtful grounds of Telstra job losses is not putting the environment first.
Cheers
Michael
