Outsider take so I'm likely to get ripped to shreds for this:

There's a battle thats been raging for a mlong time in the Greens - the Greens started as a rural envrionmentalist party, but as time goes on to now it would be accurate to say it is by and large a middle class liberal party. That designation is something a number of people have issues with.

The Greens "should" be not middle class, its working class, it should be against the capitalist, it should be against capitalism, aparty of protest not of government. The Greens took everyone in as a broad church and the most mainstream of Leftist parties, but now they're the mainstream and being mainstream mean they aren't as close to their origins.

RDN is an example of this - middle class progressive nature, fighting for the long victory not true believer status. By being that he's a part of the Greens right wing, as viewed because well the left of the Greens gets pretty far left.

It's a battle for the Greens soul, and to pretend that the Greens aren't a metropolitan middle class party and that they are and forever rural socialists.

Yeah. If anything it's kinda gone the other way as more and more disgruntled lefties move to the Greens. In my experience, the older "original" Greens are vaguely centre-left but largely just care about environmentalism and a few NIMBY issues, and the newer generations are various shades from cosmopolitanist to democratic socialist. The shift to Parliamentary professionalism isn't linked to an ideological shift per se, but a shift in the backgrounds of the Parliamentarians, staff and OB from being environmental activists to largely socio-economic activists. But this is annnnnecdotal.

That isn't true of the NSW branch whose origins lie not in environmentalism but in the old Communist Party. Its why they stick out like a sore thumb.

Ask them how far they want to punish drug users. Should they be imprisoned for using or merely left destitute? Are they irredeemable? Why was cocaine excluded from the tests?

Speaking of Latham

quote:

Notorious US white supremacist Mike Enoch has announced plans to visit Australia as local nationalist group The Dingoes claim him as a speaker at their upcoming Sydney conference.

The Dingoes, who identify themselves as Australian adherents of the "alt-right", run a podcast that has featured former opposition leader Mark Latham and federal Nationals MP George Christensen.

Enoch's blog The Right Stuff has been called a "neo-Nazi" website by the US Southern Poverty Law Centre. The New Republic magazine labelled him a "virulent anti-Semite". He has been criticised for joking about killing Jewish people and created the internet meme putting Jewish names in triple parentheses to highlight their Jewishness.

Also:

But the group claims it is not white supremacist, as it does not believe whites should rule over other races. Rather, The Dingoes say Australia should be an "ethnostate" in which all citizens are white.

ACCUSED drug smuggler Cassie Sainsbury has discussed the rift between her and her family as tensions mount over a TV bidding war for her story.

Speaking to news.com.au from behind bars in El Buen Pastor women’s prison in Bogota Colombia, the South Australian sounded frustrated when asked whether she was looking forward to a visit from her mother Lisa Evans and sister Khala Sainsbury.

“Yeah, I can see my family. We’re sorting out some stuff,” she said over the prison phone

“Stuff between whatever’s been going on with the two stories.”

Ms Sainsbury is clearly angry at her mother and sister for singing up to a lucrative deal with Channel 9’s 60 Minutes for a tell-all interview, without her knowledge.

Meanwhile, her fiance, Scott Broadbridge has inked a deal with 60 Minutes’ main rival, Channel 7's current affairs show Sunday Night.

A federal police raid on the eastern suburbs office of property development firm Rommark turned violent on Wednesday when company director Michael Teplitsky allegedly crash tackled a photographer and was handcuffed in front of horrified shoppers.

Australian Federal Police officers raided the company's Double Bay office on Wednesday morning as part of a wider investigation into fraud and money laundering.

Mr Teplitsky, 48, was arrested during the dramatic operation after he allegedly attacked a photographer who was documenting the raid and had to be subdued by six officers.

His new girlfriend, socialite Olivia Korner, allegedly pulled the hair of a Fairfax reporter and screamed at officers outside the mezzanine office, prompting shoppers to flock out of the clothing boutiques downstairs.

However, it's understood the AFP investigation is not aimed at Rommark's multimillionaire directors, Mr Teplitsky and 50-year-old Boris Markovsky, but, rather, someone associated with them or their business.


Fairfax Media does not suggest the pair have any knowledge of, or involvement in, the alleged misconduct.

It's understood Mr Markovsky opened the door to plainclothes police on Wednesday with his morning coffee in hand.

Officers searched the premises late into the evening, sorting through files and reading piles of documents.

While the operation was under way, Mr Teplitsky invited a Fairfax reporter into the office to ask questions. However, police said no one was allowed in.

Mr Teplitsky then said "if that photographer doesn't stop taking my photo in one second I'm going to lose it" and "I don't care if [the police] are here, I will do it".


He then ran over to the photographer and allegedly tackled him to the ground.

About 10 officers ran out of the Rommark premises, with some yelling at Mr Teplitsky to stop resisting arrest.

Mr Teplitsky's sister, Victoria, and Ms Korner tried to intervene to stop the arrest, screaming "he's not resisting" and "get off him".

Another man threatened Fairfax Media outside the building, grabbing a mobile phone and saying "you don't want to mess with us".

It's understood Mr Teplitsky was taken away in handcuffs to calm down and later released without charge.

Police remained tight-lipped on the investigation but confirmed that "a number of search warrants are being conducted in Sydney as part of an ongoing investigation".

"Further details will be provided at an appropriate time," an AFP spokesman said.

Ukrainian-born Mr Teplitsky and his wife, Angela, bought "Aussie" John Symond's Point Piper penthouse for $13.3 million earlier this year.

However, the couple have since initiated divorce proceedings.

Rommark advertises itself as Sydney's "prestigious boutique developers" behind projects including The Gallery at Double Bay and Genoa of Bondi Junction.

Mr Teplitsky's vast portfolio of developments includes the forthcoming 19-storey luxury 8Hotel on Wentworth Avenue in Surry Hills, and the century-old 100 Harris Street building in Pyrmont, occupied by Fairfax Media's real estate site Domain.

This has mob written all over it.

A 15-year-old former private schoolboy accused of raping an intoxicated teenage girl at a party has been allowed to travel overseas at taxpayer expense to visit his parents in the school holidays.

The youth, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is charged with aggravated sexual assault on the girl at Bellevue Hill on March 4.

Another 15-year-old is charged with making and distributing footage of the attack.

Teachers at Cranbrook reportedly called police after learning mobile phone footage of the attack had been shared among dozens of teenagers via a private Facebook messenger group.

Court documents revealed that the girl had no idea she had been assaulted.

"The victim was intoxicated by alcohol and was not aware of the offence until she was informed by other people by text message the following day," police allege.

On Thursday Bidura Children's Court heard the boy's father has a high-ranking position with an Australian government department and is posted overseas. That country does not have a bilateral extradition treaty with Australia.

The court also heard the father's employer "heavily subsidised" the youth's tuition and boarding fees at Cranbrook.

And the government would cover the airfares for the youth to fly to his parents' country of residence for a visit under "reunion" provisions.

A senior Turnbull minister has blasted Catholic schools for running a dishonest campaign against the federal government’s new school funding plans.

Christopher Pyne, who used to be the education minister but now looks after defence industry, said he had not had a single email, phone call, letter or visit from a constituent complaining about how the government plans to change funding arrangements for Catholic schools.

“I am quite disappointed in the Catholic education system nationally for running a campaign, using their parents’ money, that is dishonest and is trying to keep in place a system which is not fair to all Australians,” he told Sky News on Sunday.

The opposition, Bill Shorten, has attacked the Gonski 2.0 funding policy, saying that not all parents who send their children to Catholic schools are wealthy and they should not be “punished” for their choice. The shadow treasurer, Chris Bowen, has referred to the funding model as a one-size-fits-all model that will have “significant ramifications for the 20% of Australian students educated in the Catholic system”.

Have the Liberal's done it? Have they found an actual wedge issue based on Labor's strong base in Catholicism? And it's why Albo said "we should support this budget as a win for Labor over neoliberalism"?
