Greens: Abbott And Newman Same Arrogant Anti-Environment Agenda

Greens leader Senator Christine Milne stated this week that Tony Abbott and Campbell Newman have the same arrogant agenda that is anti-environment and makes life harder for everyday people.

Tony Abbott and Campbell Newman have inflicted more than 50 attacks on Queensland’s environment, including approving the world’s largest coal port in the Great Barrier Reef.

“Queenslanders have an important opportunity to send a message to Campbell Newman and Tony Abbott that the state’s environment, tourism and agriculture are worth more than their big mining mates’ private profits and political donations,” Senator Milne said.

Queensland Greens lead spokesperson Dr Charles Worringham said: “Campbell Newman wants to flog off our public assets to pay big mining companies to dig up the Galilee Basin.”
