Today’s conference covered internal party affairs. It is always wonderful at Greens meetings to see and experience consensus decision making and grassroots democracy in full effect. All good stuff.

Tonight South Australian Greens hosted a fundraising dinner. MC for the evening was Sarah Hanson-Young – SA lead Senate candidate – dubbed in the news yesterday as ‘the new Natasha’.

Bob Brown gave a fine speech as did a young highschool activist. Auctions bids were high and constant that night and I dare say SA Greens were grateful for the money which will be used to fund the federal election campaign.
