Greens wanted both and Labor tried to wedge them for one or the other. (Other being disabled access for tram stops)

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

My guess would be she's crazy enough and the seat is marginal enough they decided to cut their losses because she was doing more harm than good.

Incidentally I understand the Greens in Footscray are now focussing almost exclusively on Huong Truong and not talking about Angus.

A tram stop redevelopment was being expanded to support disabled passengers but the proposed design would have made things more dangerous for cyclists. The council (some of which but not all are Greens) pushed back and asked for a revised design that allowed for disability access while also keeping safety for cyclists. Despite this being a reasonable request and they type of thing councils do all the time some decided to make this into an anti-Greens message.

Why is the only Vic leadership debate on Foxtel? I know both candidates want to control their own narratives and doing actual media appearances is deemed risky, but you'd think Andrews would want a pulpit to wreck Guy's horseshit from. Then again it'll probably be a redshirts blah blah meaningless idiot fest so...

Yeah this’ll probably be a trainwreck for Labor. Why they’d even agree to do it with the deck stacked against them is mind-boggling.

A public debate with a cross section of commentators and journos running it would be ideal, but a Sky News run one? Terrible idea.

At least it’s only going to have a circulation of ~200 people.

That's why they agreed to do it on Fox. Guy needs the debate (and everything else) to go perfectly in order to win. Andrews just needs to coast to the finish line. There's no upside to having a debate at all for Andrews, so they may as well minimize the impact that it will have by agreeing to do it on a platform that no one is likely to see.

I’m a little bit concerned by it. Talking live Guy actually comes across as pretty knowledgeable on policy, and the audience is going to be stacked with Dorothy Dixer questions too.

I would think publicly rolling Guy would be useful in marginals and worth the risk.

by virtue of having no power or money we have managed to keep our scandals pretty low key, and get a lot of the processes to deal with them in place before they happen. doesn't mean they don't happen. winning seats will make us a bigger target both for media and for internal dickheads, so watch this space?

It would be simple to play some ball with Andrews but they want inner city rich electorates to switch. It's just politics now.

As someone who has seen my local Greens candidate and realised she is a the stereotype white-with-dreads professional student (at least she was last time I paid attention to her) they're non offensive because they aren't a threat to anyone.

Deny, their proposal was for what the CBD has, dual use bike/and disabled access. Since they voted against the 'only wheelchair access' option which would have blocked bike access, the rwm has launched into 'Greens hate the disabled'

Like Albo and friends haven't spent the last 5 years trying to meme on the greens and tbh spend as much time criticising them as they do the Liberals.

It's because of poo poo like this:
