Why does the Herald Sun continue to make false claims about Greens policies?

Letter to the Editor, The Herald Sun

Why does the Herald Sun continue to make false claims about Greens policies? For example, there are no Greens policies about making people ride bicycles or stopping them eating meat. 

 

However, there are Greens policies for moving towards sustainable transport solutions such as integrated public transport and cycling networks rather then building more freeways.

 

There are also policies for protecting our natural environment by stopping logging in Victoria's water catchments, moving towards sustainable agriculture and increasing environmental flows in rivers.

 

There are policies that promote spending on services rather then tax cuts.

 

How about some balanced reporting based on facts?
