Here, here to Mike Balson’s letter in The Echo of 2 October. I agree wholeheartedly with what Mike Balson has illuminated in that letter titled ‘Ain’t easy being green’.
It is so frustrating to watch the Greens do exactly what he has described, which is to alienate Labor. Why are they doing this?
I would like to see a policy of inclusion happening, surely the way that David Shoebridge attacked Labor is joining in with the destructive and alienating right-wing political attacks.
Let us be different, let us listen. Speak our minds, be considerate, and look at the long picture. We are here for our children’s children’s children’s children.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
