Comments on: Clive Hamilton and Higgins http://larvatusprodeo.net/2009/10/26/clive-hamilton-and-higgins/ Life, Culture and Politics from BrisVegas Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:56:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Paul http://larvatusprodeo.net/2009/10/26/clive-hamilton-and-higgins/#comment-128666 Paul Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:04:57 +0000 http://larvatusprodeo.net/?p=10491#comment-128666 Despite his credentials, Hamilton isn't the only green candidate in Higgins. Australia's first real green party, the Australian Democrats, are running in Higgins also. They've a comprehensive history on the environment and were using the word <em> sustainability </em> 25 years ago. Their candidate David Collyer is not only strong on the environment, he's politically savvy, <strong> moderate </strong> and he is a <strong> local</strong>-qualities we can't attribute to the Greens. He lives near by and works near by. He's running on local infrastructure and environment- lowering noise pollution and getting overhead services underground. Amongst his national issues are the broadband network and line by line scrutiny of legislation. Despite his credentials, Hamilton isn’t the only green candidate in Higgins.

IMO, neither this, nor accusing an interlocutor of wallowing in ignorant populism is uncivil. I didn't accuse her of being an ignoramus and don't regard her as such. It is however, a plausible claim to say that the assertion of 'intellectual snobbery' attaches virtue to the intellectual acumen of the ill-educated. Nevertheless, you are amongst the interpreters of the comments policy here, so I will be guided by your implication that such a line of argument is unacceptable on this site.

I’d also suggest being a little more civil!

It doesn't particularly further any sort of debate by claiming that your interlocutor is "wallowing in ingnorant populism". As well as being a breach of our comments policy.
