EvilElmo posted:Feel free to point out the doorknocking that's happened in the ACT in the last 5 months? When they last phonebanked? Im not up 100% on the ACT greens activites, but I can tell you, without any trace of doubt, that phone banking happens in other states, along with a shitload of doorknocking. Admittedly there isnt too much letterboxing going on, because apparently its not that effective a tactic, but to state "like Greens across Australia, the average age of members is about 70, they don't doorknock, they set up a few community stalls and letterbox. No phonebanking or layered voter contact." is just hilariously wrong.

gay picnic defence posted:I think it is a term chosen by fuckheads for it's fairly strong negative connotation to refer to the changes in western culture and values towards a more progressive and inclusive society. They've realised you look like a bit of a tool in this day and age if you say 'racism is great or equal rights for women and minorities is a bad thing' so they dress it up a bit and call it cultural marxism. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/19/cultural-marxism-a-uniting-theory-for-rightwingers-who-love-to-play-the-victim pretty much.

He's a true "pragmatic" politician like Nick Clegg and a whole jumble of Green politicians around the world who have watered down and backed away from left wing positions in order to win a little influence in government. What positions has he backed away from?

Don't act like MPs voting for the leader count is in any way democratic. quote:Backed away from free education, quote:backed away from basic income, quote:backed away from pushing our IR laws and left wing rhetoric in favour of appealing to small l liberals. quote:At the moment he's still bound by member policy but who knows what he will do when the ALP offer him a cabinet position if they need the Greens to form government.

gay picnic defence posted:This sort of stuff gives me the shits. I had to go back to uni and added an extra $80,000 onto my HECS/FEE HELP taking a couple of postgrad courses because it was too hard to find permanent work once I finished undergrad and moving from temp job to temp job was becoming pretty soul destroying. When the unemployment and underemployment rate is as high as it currently is there is no reason for a lot of those 1.4 million extra people to be in the workforce. Granted some of them will have skills that don't exist in the country but I'd be shocked if a large number of them were hired because they don't cost as much and are less likely to join a union. I think you just hit on your reason.
