More from the uninformed

Jack.... it appears to me that the site is an American website.
I would say it is a different Larissa Waters.

Fleggy, she's a wannabe that is sll. Standing for Green Pre-selection. She is trying to become a Green Seanate candidate from that.

The queensland greens have a web site with a contact email addy.. I sent them a short pert little note thanking them for reading the book :How to make friends and influence people:

Her Reply, today 25/2/2007:

Dear Colin,

You are right to take offence at yesterday’s Sunday Mail article. However, your anger should be directed to the paper for deliberately mis-quoting me, and putting words in my mouth. The Queensland Greens have not called for a “tax hike” on 4WDs, nor have I ever called any driver “ignorant”. This is the second time in two weeks that a News Limited paper has deliberately misled the public about the Queensland Greens’ policies.

The text below is what I have sent to the Editor in response to the article:

I did not call four wheel drivers "ignorant", nor have the Queensland Greens called for a "tax hike on 4WDs" as reported in the Sunday Mail on page 25, 25th February 2007. I said that people may not always think about the environmental impacts of their everyday lives, but that all of our choices do make a difference. The Queensland Greens policy is to give incentives to people who opt to drive smaller, alternative fuel or hybrid cars, as well as to encourage people to use public transport where possible. We ask all drivers, in both big and small cars, to do their bit for the climate by thinking about whether there are other transport options open to them for each trip they take.

I hope this clarifies the position of the Queensland Greens for you. All of our policies are on our website www.qld.greens.org.au/policies, and if you have any further queries about them please do not hesitate to contact Ian Gittus on coordinator@qld.greens.org.au.

sorry try post 42706

That's correct Time. It seems like News Ltd where all of this anger should be directed at. Not the Greens.

Seems like many on this site are quick to defend their 4wds and anybody who attacks them. Well News Ltd has attacked 4wds by misleading what this Woman has said.

Now let's get stuck into News Ltd.
