Faustian pact comes to haunt the Greens

WELL done to the Greens on a successful annual convention. Sincere congratulations on real and substantial ministerial work well done. But therein lies the rub.

Every elected representative knows that the most corrosive and seductive corruption is not cash, but ‘the chance to get things done’.

For any ‘policy-driven’ party (or individual), this lure can be almost irresistible. As clearly was the case with the Greens last year.
