FORMER Soviet president turned greenie Mikhail Gorbachev was considering establishing a branch of his environmental organisation in Brisbane.
Mr Gorbachev founded Green Cross International in 1993, building on the work started by the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The organisation, which focuses on the link between environmental problems and international conflicts, has branches in 30 countries, but not Australia.
Mr Gorbachev, in Brisbane to co-chair the three-day Earth Dialogues forum that started today, said it was "God's will" to make Brisbane the headquarters of Australia's Green Cross International.
"I believe that we would have a very strong organisation, because the people of Australia are very mindful of the importance of preserving their natural environment," he said.
"We are definitely in favour (of establishing a branch in Brisbane) and we will want Australians to co-operate with us."
As if we don't have enough bloody lunatics wandering the streets!
If Al (The Loser) Gore shows up, we'll have a complete set!!!
Gorby is little more than a grifter, scamming his way around the world on the lecture circuit. What kind of idiot would pay to have him speak?
Environ-whackism is a BIG business.
All your base are belong to us!
Believe me, even without Gore, you will have enough probs with Green Cross. The organization invites all the New Age wackos.
I don't believe him for a minute. Surely God wouldn't do that to Australia! Ol' ketchup splotch is STIll PISSED OFF that Reagan and Maggie Thatcher are the towering leaders of the 1980s and he's not even a historical footnote anymore.
Australia doesn't have to take it, just keep saying, "Star Wars!" to him, that always gets him!
Yeah, Sheaat, we all know that Mikey is really in touch with God! All y'all Diggers should be slapdamned honored, LOL! I will really try hard to overcome the hurt, caused by Mikey's change of affection! Dasher, buddy, you are so blessed, Dammit, give thanks, you ingrate!
Thanks for your compassion...
There is no need to fear Aussie Dasher will be there. LOL
I just read the title and wondered if you knew about ya'll being a base Dashy.
I won't bother to read the story after reading your comment. " : )
I long for the good old days, when after someone left the world stage, they went through a door with no handle on the other side...and stayed gone!
You call that a complete set?
No, no, no, my FRiend, if you're considering adding Al Bore to your collection (which would be a magnificent show of friendship among allies!) you won't be happy until you upgrade your current set to the platinum level.
There is J. Effing Kerry, Howard "the scream" Dean, Shamu "last of the Kennedys", and for this week only (a one time offer) we'll throw in the Hildebeast with a Madeline Albright chaser!
Please, show MERCY!!!!
Gorby has turned into the russian Al Gore.
I suppose we should be thankful Gorby can't speak English...
He was the Soviet Premier! He has lived on the DOLE (not Bob) all his life!
After the collapse, Reagan agreed to let him live at the Presido in San Franciso. After the government sold his home out from under him, he move to Switzerland where he owned a home. Then when Putin came to power, he was granted a home on the outskirts of Moscow.
There is one common thread - government support for this guy his entire life.
He does not understand anything else.
I did! You wanna see the photos?
No!!! Not that!!! I thought we were mates...
