The Greens
Mr FINN (Western Metropolitan) (10:30): As members of this house would know, I have an inquiring mind. My curiosity rather peaks when it comes to what has occurred in Melbourne’s west in the past four years. For example, when the Andrews government wanted to dump carcinogenic toxic soil in Wyndham Vale, I have to ask: where were the Greens? When the Andrews government wanted to dump carcinogenic toxic soil in Bacchus Marsh, I have to ask: where were the Greens? When the Andrews government did dump carcinogenic toxic soil in Ravenhall, I ask again: where were the Greens? When the Andrews government turned a green wedge into a toxic soil dump that can be seen from the moon, I have to ask: where were the Greens? The answer to all of these questions is simple: the Greens were nowhere to be found. The problem is the Greens party are a product of expensive inner-city ghettos, and they do not give a stuff about what happens in the outer suburbs. They could not care less, and as far as they are concerned, out of sight is out of mind—and the outer suburbs are way out of their sight. They prefer to bag a dead Queen and tell fairy stories about climate change. They are not fit to be in this Parliament.
