They’ll radicalise whether they want to or not.
The Queensland and NSW parties are bigger, better organised and better funded than the Tasmanian and Victorian parties who have historically set the federal direction. Their focus on class warfare and social justice also resonates with a more...
Yes, the real problem is that we do not really have a ton of legal protection around abortion - Australian governments have traditionally not wanted to touch it and taken a very hands-off approach, leaving it up to individual medical professionals
This was fine when there were plenty of doctors...
This definitely indicates a Greens party where primary control is shifting from the Vic/Tas bloc to the QLD/NSW bloc. Waters is much closer to the NSW socialist hardliners than she is to the Victorian technocrats like Di Natale and Bandt.
It’s likely that under her the Greens will be more...
Faruqi stays as deputy, Nick McKim stays as whip, SHY stays as manager of senate business… surely that’s the end of SHY’s leadership ambitions
Penny Allman-Payne as the new party room chair is interesting, that is another role moving from a Victorian to a Queenslander
Bit of a low point for...
all the NSW Greens hate SHY because she publically slammed the caucus for siding too much with Gillard over Abbott... they think she is a tree tory
She is also not very popular with the Tasmanian Greens because she was highly disloyal to Christine Milne when she was leader
Pulling it off will...
my guess would be Waters as leader, Faruqi remains deputy leader and SHY remains manager of senate business
Faruqi was I think out of the race when Waters put her hand up, I don't think she can win without the Queenslanders backing her. SHY could maybe win with the Victorians and Tasmanians...
The problem is that the ‘Australian Greens’ doesn’t really exist - the state ‘branches’ are really separate organisations who own the Greens brand independently in each state, and essentially have an agreement to caucus together in the federal parliament
I come from New South Wales, where the...
Faruqi will definitely want the leadership but the reduced Queensland contingent won’t help her case
my money would be on a compromise candidate (not SHY) that keeps Faruqui in the deputy seat
But that’s highly speculative, most of the people I know are from the NSW party and they aren’t the...
Anyone got an opinion on these two products?

I assume the Newy Golf one is made with more ‘premium materials’ but $200 vs $60 is a big difference…
Because the media focuses on the big players, and she’s not one of them any more. Hasn’t been for a decade.
15 years ago when the parliamentary party was smaller and she was the Young Turk - yeah, she was prominent. But she torched all her credibility with left wing of the party by publically...
Historically - because she has had no factional support
The SA Greens do not have much power in the federal caucus because they are not close enough to the middle of the party to make them acceptable to the NSW and QLD Greens.
That means someone like SHY needs strong backing from the VIC and...
You’re proving my point - this is an example of it being handled internally using parliamentary procedures - as all parties expect it to be
Going on a podcast and bleating about it is not how parties expect MPs to handle this stuff which is why he’s opened himself up to public criticism
I’m saying nobody takes it personally if you paint within the lines, and Chandler-Mather didn’t do that
As a consequence I’m not surprised Albanese has eviscerated him
