What I find remarkable is that on the issue of the pipeline, the Greens and the far right are actually unanimous. Obviously voters in effected regions therefore have a number of "anti-pipeline" options at the ballot box, I suspect however, that overwhelmingly the constituents of those areas will take the crack-pot option (Family First, the Nationals or whatever other myopic retrograde flat earth party happens to run a candidate) because "gasp, shock HORROR" those Greenies "support GAY marriage!!!!". The apparent inability of many people in the affected areas to think progressively even when faced with their own imminent destruction stretches my capacity to feel unreservedly sympathetic to their plight I have to admit.
