You can't argue that because 'some greens' is offensive in the UK, an article written in Australia saying 'some greens' is offensive.

You are free to feel offended, but that doesn't mean the author is at fault.

To nitpick, the article was written for a British audience, by George Monbiot who is a columnist for the Guardian.

The SMH (and the whole Fairfax group) don't really write articles any more.

Yes, until I realised it was a British piece I was really confused by his expression "high latitudes like ours" (par. 9).
