Surely one of the best election photographs, it shows the Greens candidate for Hindmarsh in South Australia, Andrew Payne, and Senator Sarah Hanson-Young , with a politically minded pelican . Pelicans are deeply concerned about global warming, pollution of the environment, diminishing fish stocks, Queensland's failure to protect the Great Barrier Reef and other major issues about which only the Greens are really concerned.
No baby kissing, wearing funny clobber in pie factories, making endless karate chops with the hands , pointing the finger , exposing the budgie smugglers, wearing safety helmets - just a beaut moment . Of course, Andrew Payne has a way with birds as he has a talking budgerigar. Little Darwin unashamedly urges South Australians to vote for Andrew and Sarah. This blog pointed out the many fine qualities Payne has in a previous post . It detailed the occasion he chased a man who assaulted a woman in a railway subway, brought him down with a tackle, tied him up with a rope from his ute and handed him over to surprised gendarmes who arrived on the scene .
