The Greens walked out of the talks on Friday over 4 issues:
* Climate Change
* Education
* Local Govt Reform
* Healthcare.
Why are the Greens getting het up over Education and Health?
The mistake they are making is wanting to go into Government - where they would be collectively responsible for all cabinet decisions. What they should do is agree to support a minority FF Govt. if it does 3 things:
1. Save Tara
2. Reduce carbon emissions by some Kyoto amount.
3. Whatever green issue you're having yourself.
(Build a rail link to the Airport?)
Of course the Cunning One is only playing with them while he sidles up to Pat Smartarse. But if the Greens unilaterally declared their support for FF under simple terms they would out-maneuver the lot of them, coz Pat wouldn't have the "National Interest" excuse to fall back on.
Some chance of that.
