This week I found myself the target of some vituperation from anti-fluoride, erm, “campaigners” after my attention was drawn to an appalling picture of Tanya Plibersek posted to the Facebook page of South Australian independent Legislative Councillor Ann Bressington. I contacted Bressington asking why a commenter’s suggestion that the Health Minister be “lynched” was allowed to remain on Bressington’s page and whether she thought accusing Plibersek of “crimes against humanity” was likely to incite such views. Bressington then posted my email on her Facebook page as well. When News Ltd political editor Tory Shepherd contacted her, Bressington posted details of that, too.
Bressington declined to accept my Friend request on Facebook, thereby preventing me from responding to the anti-fluoride folk on her page — on the basis that she if she couldn’t comment on my Twitter, I wouldn’t be allowed to comment on her Facebook. She actually said this to me in a comment to me… on Twitter. Yes, this woman votes. Not votes in the normal sense — she votes in the South Australian upper house. On legislation.

Marshall doesn't have the polish but he did fairly well ... can come across as a bit amateurish at times. Had the audience on his side.
Weatherill looked a bit uneasy and frustrated ... to be honest I think he was a tad rattled by the latest poll.

Yet to come across one. It's a far-right anti-government/anti-science/new world order thing.

I know a quite a few greens voters and party supporters / members and not one of them is anti fluoride.
The idea that all greens voters are sandal wearing vegans who derive an income from playing bongo drums at country markets is not credible. Although some greens supporters certainly fit into this category, most live 'normal' lives with 'normal' jobs and are simply people who care about social equality and environmental matters as a high priority.

personally my perception of the greens is the vocal ones fit the stereo type outlined above. but i agree that probably the majority of voters fit the second category.
i have actually given my vote to the greens in the past (not every time, but on the odd occasion) however more recently i have gone right off them and hope they die a horrible death at this next election. their policies seem to be dominated by loonie ideas, and they seem hell bent on pushing their idea of society on the rest of us, whether we like it or not. i realise that is no different to the major parties, however they dont seem to have the same level of insanity attached to their views.
