to add to nswelection chat -

:siren:Alert for people who aren't in NSW (you lucky bastards) but still want to help!:siren:

The Greens in YOUR STATE - that's right, the one you live in - will be helping to campaign! Get in touch with your local campaign coordinator about phonebanking to help the NSW Greens.

Alternatively, if you're a member, you can apply here - http://goo.gl/forms/ZJrBIjmxYT - for subsidies for flights and billeting to come up and campaign in person! Helping out other states with their elections is seriously one of the most rewarding and fun things one can do as an active member of the Greens and you'll stumble around in a haze of sleep deprivation, Greens love and whatever your drug(s) of choice are for days afterwards. I wholly encourage everybody who has any experience or enthusiasm for on-the-ground campaigning to apply.

I joined the greens when I lived in Newtown but now I live in Balmain, do I switch branches? How's that all work?

NSW Greens Branches/"Local Groups" (the difference is pretty much semantic but I've seen people get quite upset at the wrong one being used because it sounds less grassroots) are based around local government areas or regions rather than electorates like in some other states. So maybe not? Depends where you live/d!

NSW has 6 State MPs, and up until 2014 consistently had the largest number of State MPs of any of the state parties. If all goes well, this election will take us to 8.

Actually, from 1982 to 2011 Tasmania had either equal or greater number of Greens MPs so I'm not sure you can really say "consistently" when it's only been for one term. (yes yes obviously hare-clark but if we're going to be pedantic about numbers, well)

She's not smart and she doesn't think critically. I doubt her staff are much cleverer.

Rob Messenger, her chief of staff, is a former One Nation member who wrote open letters of support for Hanson and displayed them on his website. Not only are her staff not clever, they are even more likely than she is to have links to far-right white supremacist groups.

There's no way the desperate, sweaty look with those strands of hair falling over the forehead while leaning over a map ISN'T a Downfall reference. Subtlest :godwin: of all time.

To a football star, 2500 is nothing. I'd be more in favour of community service and drug education than of jail time or a fine.

Also, if I heard the story right, he bought 12.5 grams of cocaine on three separate occasions - unless you have a good dealer (which to be fair he probably had) or are in a cocaine-heavy area (which the Gold Coast most certainly is) you'll be paying about that much for the coke itself.

Someone at the ABC is reading this thread - this afternoon on Hack (5:30 triplej) they're talking about how the housing market is poo poo for younger people. They even specifically had a spew about how boomers have hosed it for the rest of us.

funnily enough it is not this thread, but Good Thread favourite Courtney Barnett which has motivated this (her latest single is about how poo poo it is to try to buy a house in melbourne)

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if half the Denison Greens didn't vote 1 for Wilkie.

Reynolds was a terrible candidate and remains hanging around the branch with a sense of entitlement but I held my nose and voted for her so we would get those sweet sweet couple of dollars from people voting 1 Green.
