For those that didn't get the email:

quote:

I am emailing you to provide an update on today’s Party Room meeting.

Our focus remains on ensuring that Party Room functions effectively, with confidence and accountability.

To function as a national Party Room, and to be a genuine alternative to politics as usual, we need to have faith and trust in our processes.

Recent days have highlighted a structural issue that needs to be addressed within our organisation.

It was in this spirit, the Australian Greens Party Room met today and resolved:

- The Australian Greens Party Room request that National Council work with Greens NSW to end the practice of NSW MPs being bound to vote against the decision of the Australian Greens Party Room.
- That NSW Senators be excluded from Party Room discussions and decisions on contentious government legislation, including within their portfolio responsibilities, until these issues are resolved.

We'll continue to work and campaign together on the issues we're fighting for, to achieve progressive political outcomes for all.

Your support continues to be the lifeblood of the Greens. Thank you for all that you do,

The Greens had a good shot at being a left wing alternative but this war for the centre is really loving things up.

Hard Liberals call the Turnbull government Labor Lite, Labor leftists call the ALP government Liberal lite and Socialist Greens are thinking RDN Greens are Labor lite on the other end of the spectrum.

Australia is simply politically boring and you'd think this current climate would make way for a true left wing alternative but you are still getting these war for the middle types like the NXT and probably a few more by the time the next election rolls around. We are entirely vanilla here and something has to be shaken up or else political apathy will consume the whole system and you'll end up with donkey voters or people who just vote for the flavor of the election party which once again is most likely a war for the centre party.

The NSW Greens should actually split into an actual Socialist Party, if successful it benefits the Australian political system as a whole.

Some goons overreact. Go figure.
Based on his latest Facebook post, I'd say Pyne has done a deal to publicly self-eviscerate in exchange for being able to stay as Leader of the House. Never thought I'd feel sorry for him but drat, that's brutal.


Christopher Pyne posted:

I’m very sorry that my comments at an event last Friday have caused such a distraction for the government.

I apologise to anyone they have offended.

My remarks were ill chosen and unwise and I can see how unhelpful and damaging they have been.

The truth is, Malcolm Turnbull runs a tight knit, traditional cabinet government that is inclusive of all strands of thought across the party.

The inclusion of the members of the Party Room has been outstanding and the team in Canberra has felt very much part of the decision making process.

The Liberal Party has long been the crucible of both liberal and conservative thought and values. That is the secret of our success and has only been enhanced in the Turnbull Government.

Pyne is a canny operator.

You don't have to like him but you have to respect his survival instinct.

Going full out apologetic immediately is massively disarming for enemies who will immediately become the Bad Guys if they press an attack.
