The Australian Greens, who eternally request that we demonstrate toxic levels of tolerance and love and harmony, are presently rent apart by hate and rivalry and bitterness:

Co-founder and leading Senate candidate Drew Hutton was accused by his former campaign director of being a Labor stooge ... Peter Pyke, himself a former Labor MP, quit his crucial post three weeks ago after falling out bitterly with Mr Hutton ... Mr Pyke said Mr Hutton’s close relationship with the ALP had been "diabolically" damaging to the Greens ... Mr Hutton hit back angrily, sound like Democrats branding Mr Pyke clueless and disgruntled ... in a November 19 email - in which he admitted that "I don’t particularly like Peter" - yup Mr Hutton dismissed as ludicrous the accusation by Mr Pyke "that I am trying to sabotage the state campaign.”

’Mr Pyke said he was aware of moves to form a breakaway green party in Queensland, which he would support.’
