I've got no idea what you're talking about Nick. Policy discussion in
the Greens is public, or at least there is no attempt to keep it secret.
Anyone can subscribe to Green Magazine, or buy the daily papers (to the
extent that they cover developments in the Greens) or other publications
in which members of the Greens discuss policy. Members of rank and file
decision-making bodies are not bound to secrecy about policy matters or
differences of opinion.
Alan Bradley points out that he's not able to say what he would like to
on this list about the discussion in the DSP. That wouldn't be the case
in the Greens (or the Labor Party for that matter).
As for the content of the convention, are you really saying that the
agenda for a three-day gathering will consist of those three rather
cursory platforms and that there will be no resolutions on broader
political issues? That's very surprising, and not at all clear from the
website on which the platforms appear.
