Labor back in bed with the Greens again

Yesterday, Bryan Green (the Where’s Wally of Tasmanian politics) was forced out of hiding.

After avoiding having a media conference for an unprecedented 19 days,  Bryan Green was shamed into fronting up to answer questions.

Sadly, Tasmanians have a right to be disappointed with what Bryan Green had to say – or more specifically didn’t say.

I would have thought that after almost three weeks contemplating where he stood on important issues facing Tasmania, such as water and sewage, forestry and salmon jobs he would have made Labor’s position clear.

But no.

On the issue of a cable car for Mt Wellington, Bryan Green wouldn’t say if Labor supported the project because he doesn’t want to offend his political allies, the Greens.

Labor will oppose the cable car project because it is desperate to appease the Greens.

Labor is still  in bed with the Greens, still dancing to their tune.
