		At the press conference called to announce his candidacy for the leadership, Greig was asked what action he would take on the 10-point plan for party reform, pushed by the "gang of four" Democrat senators and which forced Natasha Stott Despoja out last week.
		The problem, as articulated by Greig himself, is that the party membership is now some way to the left of those who vote for the Democrats.
		Greig, the would-be "rescuer" of the Democrats, sees his job as finding a way to meld the centre-left membership and centre-right voter base.

	Interview: Democrat Brian Greig
		GREIG: Well, I don't feel that Senator Lyn Allison is too keen on being associated with that terminology and I must say of those four senators in terms of media performance, or lack of it, she's played a key role in helping calm the waters to some degree.
		GREIG: Look, I gather that she might me. Senator Allison is actually quite good at that and she was the senator who was most keen, and I understand is still most keen, on getting some kind of mediation process happening.
		GREIG: I can't see it coming to that, but I don't think particularly people like Senator Cherry, who, you know, is obviously keen to be re-elected in Queensland because he's filled a casual vacancy, would do that because there'd be no party infrastructure for their successful returns.

		Greig, who had served as a Democrats senator since 1999, felt his greatest achievement was “the very real attitudinal change” he helped bring about by “forcing people to confront issues they would otherwise never think about”.
		Greig admitted he was worried about the coalition having a majority in the Senate after 1 July, predicting the ban on overseas adoption by same-sex couples would be revisited.
		Greig plans to go on holiday for a while before looking for work in the area of community development, perhaps as a government liaison.

	ITworld.com - Get a handle on 'noncompetes'
		Greig notes that courts in other states will rule differently in the application of noncompetes based on the particular case, such as a worker laid off as part of a downsizing decision versus one who quit or was fired for cause.
		Greig suggests looking at the reasonableness of the individual elements in the clause, perhaps narrowing the scope of the area they cannot work in or reducing the duration.
		Greig sometimes sees a situation he calls "the inevitable disclosure doctrine," when no noncompete has been signed, but an employee goes to work for a competitor in the exact job he or she previously held and "can't help but use information [the employee] learned from the [other] company that was secret.

		Greig's leftist Australian Democrats party, along with another small party, holds the balance of power in the Senate, and frequently sends legislation it opposes to committees.
		The committee is due to report back to the Senate by Oct. 7, but with a general election expected at some point between mid-September and the end of the year, the legislation could run out of time if parliament is dissolved before it is enacted.
		Stokes noted that the official opposition Labor Party had backed Greig's move to stall the same-sex marriage ban bill by sending it to committee, and said it seemed happy to delay the legislation until after the election.

		A tiny handful of those children would have a better life and a real future in Australia if they could be adopted by parents of the same gender, but the Government's homophobia is so ferocious, that it would rather those children stay abandoned and impoverished in third world countries than achieve a better life here.

		Australian Democrat Senator Brian Greig is drafting legislation which aims to better define, and in some cases outlaw spyware and adware, after his office found the computers on the parliamentary system had been compromised by more than 50 different Internet-borne pests.
		However, Senator Greig's office is concerned that these measures have not gone far enough, and is calling for the IE6 defaults to be changed.
		According to Senator Greig, the anti-spyware bill currently being drafted aims to clearly define what surveillance can and can't be carried out, force opt-in clauses on spyware and adware, and educate the community about the problem.
