He is a flat out nutter. And it is time he went. We have suffered enough already. The danger is, who will replace him?

UPDATE: Christine Milne will replace him as leader.

UPDATE: Audio. Bob Brown mad as a cut snake.

Hi Ruth,

Christine Milne to replace Bob Brown - is this a "from the frying pan into the fire" situation?

I've always considered Sen Christine Milne more dangerous than Brown. Brown's rhetoric over the last few years has been 'past it'.

Interesting times.

Christine Milne: The Carbon Price is not enough. We need the Carbon Price plus plus plus.

just for the knowing.

My husbands comment on hearing about Brown was " hmmmph so he's done a Bob Carr."

People would do well to remember the damage Carr and his sidekick, Egan did to NSW, and then Carr simply walked out - no warning - just resigned. That's what we have for foreign minister.

Jeff Hutcho is dead right in calling Milne as dangerous too. She manages to spout her idiocy by sounding normal and reasonable unlike the alien happy Brown.

Hi Denise,

I have just seen Christine Milne say she was looking forward to a future Green government, on an interview on ABC24 News.

Shudder.

Adam Bandt as Deputy Greens leader. Not bad for a person that called the Greens a "bourgeois party" and as a student was a member of the Left Alliance.

And from Menzies House:

What is missing from that is the Senator's soft image complete with alpacas, that was part of the original picture.

"Working hard to keep farmers on the land" - in destitution.

My worry is that Bob Carr may be a 'leader in waiting'. Labor appears to believe that Carr is a hero of the party, and could easily step into the leaders position, due to the lack of talent in the Labor party.

Graham Richardson stated recently that there really isn't anyone there to replace Gillard.

KRudd is tainted, except they appear to like him in his electorate.

Steven Smith lacks something.

Wayne Swann has his moments of grandeur, in his own mind.

Simon Crean is too far in the union shadow, as is Bill Shorten, who also lacks experience.

I just want to see them end up in oblivion for a generation.

(Sorry Cate, I've used that four letter word again)

Cate, Tony said that Milne had left JG which is probably just as well.

Jeff, I can't see how anyone could think that Carr is any sort of hero or saviour. When he was Premier of NSW, he and his sidekick treasurer Egan made such a mess of things that Carr just up and resigned on the spot, not even as Brown did and stay in Senate until June - Carr just simply walked.

I hope people remember that, as he is just as big a vandal as Gillard and Swan.

Well Cate, you certainly have been busy here. lots of reading and movies here loved your photo great choice, kept me out of trouble for a bit. Today I was sitting at the doctors office with my phill, he had his tablet computer with him, I had my book, he said ha Barb Bob Browns gone, we both thought terrific, but after awhile herd that Christine Anne Milne, yep she is dangerous force to be reckon with, her back ground mind boggling, run circles around Bob. A bit like Julia ran circles around Kevin, couple together working, so bad. Communism ratbags.

Like you had said

Greens and Labor responsible for Peter Spencer and THOUSANDS of everyday Australians losing their land - this is COMMUNISM!

Your dead right.

Hi Jan,

Don't get me wrong, by using the word "hero" applied to Carr. That is not my impression, due to his record as NSW Premier - as you stated. And not forgetting Cate's nightmare due to the Carr government as well.

But PM Gillard invites him into the position on the Labor benches and promotes him from obscurity in the political world, to the prestige job as Foreign Minister - treated like a long lost hero.

You have seen that Youtube of Carr posted here on this thread ?

That shows him as a arrogant vandal, rivaling PM Gillard, Swann "the world's best treasurer" and Brown.
