Greens to control Senate if Labor wins: Howard – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Mr Howard says a Labor victory would deliver a big change in the Senate and the Greens would be likely to have the balance of power.

He seems to be saying that this would be a bad thing. As much as I don’t want the Greens to be in power I think them having far more power would be a good thing.

If the greens controlled the world we would (from what I understand)

  • Close Lucas Heights (I believe this is silly because its small, safe and provides real medical products)
  • Probably legalise marijuana (Which I understand is mostly harmless but is still not safe)
  • Want to change society too quickly. As much as I agree we need to change, it needs to be managed so that economies don’t fail. We still need a strong economy to help new industries and provide ‘training’ for people like coal miners etc.

I don’t particularly like most parties we have available to us but I think a Labour/Green mix would be the least crap for now.
