Bob Brown Comes to VU

It is the first time I have heard Bob speak (live) and it was very inspiring.

He spoke about the politics of the CPRS and about the role of corporations in setting the political agenda. How Labor and Liberal have so completely sold out to the big polluters and the big end of town.

It is so important in our world of dry, passionless mouthpieces that we have people like Bob who are passionate, caring and well informed and who are prepared to take up the struggle against the giant multinational companies who are destroying our planet.

Bob (like most Greens I think) is an optimist who believes that humanity has the capability to organise society in a way that will be sustainable and for the benefit of all before we destroy the planet.

There were some great questions from the audience and as ever Bob was so humble and generous with his time.
