Green as close to the Greens as ever

Tasmanians will not be fooled by Labor's latest attempt to pull the wool over their eyes on future deals with the Greens.

We have seen it all before when Labor went to an election saying there would be no deal with the Greens and then, against the clear wishes and best interests of Tasmanians, did one anyway.

Bryan Green's motion at Labor's state conference yesterday was an exercise in cynical politics.

Not only did he leave the door wide open for another deal with the Greens, he gave no reason to believe that Labor could be trusted.

Green by name and Green by nature, as evidenced by his continuing support of the forestry sell-out, he simply has no credibility.

Labor remains wedded to the Greens in Tasmania and nationally, and Bryan Green is doing nothing to change that, demonstrating that he, and Labor, have learned nothing from the state election.
