The link to the 2nd item on the SA Greens has faded. I looked for energy farming among the releases in http://greens.org.au/SASenate
Reason being I thought they were going to give mallee farming a run, which I believe is dodgy w.r.t. energy claims.
I agree with the Greens objectives (eg new coal
mines are criminal) just not the practicalities.
thanks Boof
there was a problem with the cut and paste i did - the links all work now.
cheers
Phil.
