Published the week before- Silence of the Greens - or - Spilling the Beans on the Greens
http://news.rosettamoon.com/?p=228

While Ranns secrecy regarding this is of interest, I am astonished that the current secrecy around the Olympic Mine expansion is still outside of the media radar - Mark Parnell is obsessed with the sharemarket scam at Arkaroola Sanctuary , letting the Roxby expansion conveniently go through to the keeper.

The silence of Rann is important, but the silence of the greens is more so and the impact on the lives of all Australians far greater than this poorly judged gift to a cyclist.

We are at a very low ebb in politics it seems, both state and federally.

Not very often a socialist gets it right.
I met a lot of people, a huge amount of cyclists (yes they are people too) who were very, very impressed with old Adelaide & a lot of locals who were proud of what they were offering their hordes of tourists.

Again well done Premier Rann
