So the Greens, that are part of the government of our nation, have taken to sanctioning the destruction of public property and showing disrespect for science and evidence based research.

This morning ACT Greens MLA Shane Rattenbury has said in response to the destruction of an experimental CSIRO genetically modified wheat crop:

“It’s always very controversial these sorts of actions, but you have to stand up for what you believe in sometimes.”

I hope the whipper snippers they used were carbon neutral, and if they were not, they will have to visit the carbon confessional in Bob Brown's comcar.

Sometimes they like the science, sometimes they don't. The silence is deafening from Bob Brown and Lee Rhiannon but just imagine the hue and cry that would be emanating from these Delphic oracles if the farmers and the miners had decided to launch themselves on a full frontal attack on a university or a government department.

In fact, I think I can remember Bob Brown saying something about those who threatened scientists in the past, and I agreed with him on that point.

There might be something amusing about this but the scary thing is that these people are running our nation.
