ahhh fuck its the rats again
I think regarding workplace policy, trying to fling poo poo at the ALP in this rendition is a crock of poo poo. BILL loving CARDBOARD SHORTEN is proposing to reverse penalty rate cuts, rip up to Anti Union bullshit and try industrial bargaining.

The Greens are loving idiots and have gradually become more and more idiotic since RDN. Atleast the ALP will put up a fight in most cases rather than making GBS threads out press releases implying maybe they will support the Liberals in stripping marine protections ect.

All the ALP need to do us fix the refugee policy and they are literally better than the Greens on country defining policy.

Under Bill Shorten.

Sorry CT, I love you but the ALP election and policy machine is quite different to what it was under Kevin Rudd and his Howard-lite cornering.

The last time we saw an ALP government, mining still mattered to the economy. In opposition the ALP have caused the Liberals to hold a Royal Commission into banks and indeed lose the debate on company tax cuts. It's not really talking points any more. Lets be honest, John Howard was a political behemoth and now he's gone and like dominoes conversation after conversation that he had wrapped up under his government is being reset and the ALP has won the conversation in almost every instance except for refugees.

I fully expect that the ALP may disappoint me in some instances and on refugees they already have. However, at the moment it is The Greens who are moving backwards while the ALP is moving forward when it is allowed to.

One is playing political chess and the other is flailing randomly like a rabid dog. Green voters have every right to be upset.

Anidav, you're the loyal dog that the ALP doesn't deserve. They'll get you all hyped up, go as if to throw the ball for you then they'll either drop the ball behind them or not let it go. You'll run off, desperately seeking the ball, coming back with a confused expression on your face. And yes, they'll actually throw the ball sometimes, but only just enough, the barest of minimums, to keep you believing.

Historically the Coalition gets about 20% of Greens preferences, and that's held relatively steady since the 2004 election.

Doesn't defend that dumbarse poster though.

Bill Shorten is kinda weird. Seems like an empty suit who actually has a touch of actual pragmatism, ie; you actually have to push policy people like and want to get them remotely excited to vote for you. Which given the current status of small-l liberals around the world is a goddamn unicorn.

Do you actually want anything else in a politician??? Seriously, they're the hollowest of men...and women. It seems like an awful trap. You get people who want to be good, who want to help, who want to help people and make things better and all that. Then they get captured, become politicians. Learn about compromise. End up becoming the political soup that we call "government". Also, as a person who likes to cook, it is very much like soup in there. Gastronomically, they each assert their flavours, but they oppose each other. It ends up all carbs with a hint of pepper.

I'll vote Green of course, just because. Hey, secretly I'm stone cold Labour but I *LIKE* Greens and I have the tiniest bit of a gay-crush on Adam Bandt. I'd have him rare with Marjoram.

Yep, agreed. All it had to say is that people aren't getting paid penalty rates and the greens are trying to get them back. Not that loving hard really. Ugh, really hoping Larissa Waters gets number one spot on the greens ballot in QLD next election. She was cool and good.

To clarify Bartlett has already bowed out of the senate pre-selection race. He's been pre-selected to run for the lower house seat of Brisbane. Larissa only has to beat Ben Pennings(she will).

The fair work commission is broken not because of Labor, but because of the Liberal party who have stacked the gently caress out of it with right wing business lobbyists.

Even if that weren't the case, The Greens are still utilizing the same divisive electioneering bullshit that many of us found so distasteful at the batman by election. By a transplant from another political party that probably doesn't really believe in much beyond 'get elected', no less.
