Labor being extremely aggressive, petty and idiotic in the senate right now trying really really hard to filibuster. Will the senate sitting be available to watch at a later date? Having footage of the sickening display shown by Doug Cameron, Conroy and Collins tonight might be handy in future.

So as far as I can tell, the only people that are going to change their vote in any way based on Labor's performance of the past week(and their broader strategy for years), is people who currently vote Greens and then preference Labor. As a result of their actions, there are three responses those voters can make: 1) Continue voting 1 Greens 2 ALP 2) Vote 1 ALP instead of 1 Greens 3) Vote 1 Greens, no longer preference to ALP The only place where case 2 is of benefit to them is a few inner city electorates. case 3 is detrimental to them in any close electorate, and every state senate race. What the gently caress exactly is their idea of a win by doing this?

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/mar/17/neverending-story-mania-takes-hold-during-an-interminable-senate-battle gently caress, look at the comments. Australians are really very stupid. Although I must say, I have a deep suspicion that all the people saying "I used to fellate the Greens on a twice daily basis but now I feel that they have BETRAYED AUSTRALIA" probably never voted Green in their lives.

SadisTech posted:http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/mar/17/neverending-story-mania-takes-hold-during-an-interminable-senate-battle If there were that many people who "used to vote Greens", you'd think that the Greens would be hemorrhaging votes these past couple of years. At most, those people would be Labor voters who preference the Greens as a matter of course. All this shrieking on the part of Labor over something that really shouldn't be an issue (and using the marriage equality procedural votes in an attempt to say LOOK THE GREENS DON'T SUPPORT MARRIAGE EQUALITY) makes me wish there was a good independent candidate in my electorate so I could preference them over Labor.

From what I understand it would have been far more coherent for labor to say "we have to delay senate voting because the Libs will use a DD to pass the ABCC (which the Greens don't support)" then whatever the gently caress happened this week

Isn't a DD highly unlikely anyway because the budget now can't be bought forward?

Here is a different article for you to defend instead. Qld ALP went to the election that they would protect the reef. The big threat then was the new mine. Now they have approved the mine and taken (at least) $40k in donations from macquarie bank, who did the deal (hang on, that's the same bank their lord mayor candidate used to work for...) http://www.sandandgravel.com/news/article.asp?v1=22702

gay picnic defence posted:They probably decided that this way would achieve the same thing but hurt the greens too. Why cant the budget be bought forward? The senate doesnt need to sit for that to happen and the LNP control the lower house so they decide the sitting weeks. The Government wants the senate reform bill passed thats why they have extended sitting hours and are stopping the senate from rising. They want it done because they want to have it passed for a DD election. The ABCC would be passed by a joint sitting after the DD. You guys know thats what happens to trigger bills? Thats why even if the Greens are against the bills, they will get passed after a DD.

Defend their budget and negotiate with the crossbench to get their budget through. You might have noticed Abbott isnt PM.

They did a piece of ABC24 about why the timing of the Saturday is important and why they believed June whatever to be the date they really really wanted, where they have to dodge the various sporting seasons, holidays, events, while also having a clear window for campaigning without coming up against an actual normal election period. They just want to flush the senate while the tide is high basically.
