at least he believes
In something whether you believe in his cause or not you have to, or at least i think you should, respect his right to express his beliefs.

Protesting's great
Standing up for what you believe in is to be admired, especially if you're prepared to put your money where your mouth is. But when you infringe on other people and stop them from doing what they are entitled to do because you don't agree with it, you're putting your mouth where their money is(or beliefs are)and you're just a selfish moron.

Even though I don't agree
Even though I don't agree Peterffy, everyone has the right to protest within the confines of the law. Go outside that and you will have to live with the consequences of your actions.

Except if he was taking up a cause you were fighting for I guess? E.g if he was a protester taking direct action against fishing lock outs would you still think he is a waste of space?
Or is he a waste of space because he has a different opinion to you?
I personnally dont care to much for him myself as I dont know him or what his ultimate aims/motives are, but regardless whether you see him as an instrument or a tool, he is harmless to most and a nuisance to some.

The point is Buz,apparently
The point is Buz,apparently he isnt employed and hasnt been for some time.Also the fact that you see him on the news protesting logging ,then the next time he pops up he is saving the whales and now he is saving the sharks.On tax payers money,hence the term pro-protester.You said it yourself ,you dont know him or what his ultimate aims/motives are,and i bet neither does he.He seems to like the limelight tho and for me he is way to flaky to believe in.
Even if i agreed with him i wouldnt want him on my side ,i think he would be a liability.

Laugh
If you want a laugh at a professional protester, have a look at Laurie Levy, the head of CADS (Coalition Against Duck Shooting) in Victoria.
He hasn't had a job for 27 years, he lives off suckers (greenies) donations and holidays overseas. Bloody Parasite!

ABC News 24’s One Plus One
ABC News 24’s One Plus One seeks the views of musician John Butler on leadership, on the apparent assumption there were insights to gain:
John Butler: " Like all things in life, it’s a balancing act. And, ummm, to be a good leader I think you have to be on the same level as the people that you’re leading. I think the minute you, you, hear of, you there’s a hierarchy that takes place where you can’t be told that you’re being a jerk or that, nah, you’re a bit ...off, I think you’re wrong, I think this is a bit [sic].
“I don’t think you’re listening to me John, or I don’t feel like I’m being respected or heard”.
If I don’t have that kind of two way street of dialogue and respect, I feel that you’re then not being a good leader. At the same time, yeah, I am the leader of this thing and I should be – If it’s something I think about, if it’s something I get anxious about and think about too much, is offending people and how to kind of lead in a way that doesn’t disenfranchise people and doesn’t disempower people.
But, you know, doesn’t step on their toes. And we live in a country that the the tall poppy [sic]. So like, you know, lead but not too much because then they will hate you. Uumm, ummm, so, you know, I think leadership is an amazing thing. Someone told me the other day, which was really great, a leadership is not being a delegator of all the information.
It’s about being a visionary. It’s about having the big ideas and then having the great people around you that you respect and you trust and you [sic] can do things that you can’t do to help dedicate that and help bring that to life.Hmm. Sounds like a Green. You know, irrational, unformed, undisciplined in thought. Evelating feelings above reason.
But Butler doesn’t like being typecast as the caricature of a Green - you know, like he, um, sort of,like, is:
Jane Hutcheon : In your view in Australia, who is a good leader, who’s a visionary?
John Butler: I think there’s a great senator, a great Greens’ senator called Scott Ludlam, he’s a great visionary. I think people like Tim Winton are great visionaries.
Jane Hutcheon :
Any of our politicians?
John Butler: Umm, I think, I think, I think Peter Garrett actually is a very brave and, um, powerful visionary. Somebody who’s, he was happy to put everything on the line in what he believed in. So, I, I, I, admire bravery – and bravery to throw reputation to the wind almost in a way because you believe in a cause.
So, um, Christine Milne I think she stands for – I think Bob Brown is great. I mean, I think all the viewers are going to go “Oh classic Greenie” here. But two-party, two-party politics in this country or America is a joke. It’s an absolute joke. I think Labor and Liberal are exactly the same thing and I think Tony Abbott, is, is, is an embarrassment to have as a leader, personally.

Ha! I saw the preview to it the other morning. At 2:30 in the morning whilst trying to get my kiddo to stop crying, it was enough to make me wake up and drop a bit of respect.
Xavier Rudd is another singer who drags politics into music. Those songs get deleted.

Labor has been taking a bucket load of West Australian GST from mining then giving it to Tasmania.
Yes, NSW did this to some extent with WA but boy did they get a return on their investment.
This is the very reason WA doesnt have any money for investment in infrastructure for the growth of WA.

This is off social
This is off social media:
For over a decade I’ve struggled to understand why countless environmental groups wage a massive campaign to brainwash the public into believing sharks need protection. This unprecedented juggernaut of nonsense defies rational understanding. Countless Eco websites, news stories, even public figures seem intent to jump onto a bandwagon of government and non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) which chant an ill-conceived mantra: “One hundred million sharks killed a year—send money—we need to save the sharks.”
They created drama and crisis while filling NGO pockets. Sharks are a perfect poster child for an agenda that claims overfishing will destroy the planet, yet countless seafood markets once offering fresh local seafood fail as an unprecedented 90% of our seafood is now imported.

Yep, why don't they piss off
Yep, why don't they piss off and protest in China where they actively fish for whale shark and every other living creature in the sea, with no protections ,bag limits etc. Reason why is they'd get locked up like that Green peace idiot in Russia who protested against the oil exploration vessel. Came home thanking his lucky stars they let him out. They don't muck around over there China, Russia you just get thrown in jail. Gutless buggers know they can get away with it here.

Qld & NSW have had not only
Qld & NSW have had not only Drum lines, but shark nets for decades, QLD 80 years.
What are they even doing here? The Greens are trying to win the up coming WA senate seat in June or they are screwed.
All the Greens party were at Cottesloe shark demo to spruik voters for the senate vote. The person who organised the shark demo at Cottesloe works for Ludlam Greens as an organiser & journalist ex pro staffer.
No matter what you think about drum lines, this is about our election in June.
