What a despicable thing to say. The Greens should have elected Hanson-Young.

You burned it first mate. You told them you were leaving their families still in Ukraine to die

I know it is existing and outdated Green’s policy that Shoebridge is defending but they need to take it back to the party and bring themselves into line with the european greens. The world has changed and the Greens need to catch up.

In some ways this is just a gotcha question about well-meaning but decades-old greens policy that has brewed into a storm. But Shoebridge’s inability to handle it, not read the room, and come across as extremely snobbish and combative is a death sentence to his leadership imo.

A few days ago the Greens were claiming their biggest rise in membership on record after David’s election. They have weathered worse than this current run of ‘news’. Hopefully they can turn up the pressure on Labor which is what Labor, Murdoch, Gina et al are actually afraid of.

Man, i have such a more positive spin on this, like they’ve taken over national politics for a good two weeks. They’ve won the week twice in a row. Not only that, but they’ve blocked the media from bollocking on about One Nation as much as they’ve been. Sure, the Jordan steel-john business is serious, but the Greens can come out of this moment fine, and maybe stronger if they deal with it in a way that is noticeably better than other parties have.
I think having the disagreements has been a good thing for the Greens and the public to see the Greens functioning in a more ‘human’ way.

Just shove a shoe into Shoebridge’s ass and burn that Bridge with his idea of “peace”. Or deport him to Russia.

Bro doubled down lmao.
Finally greens will no longer be capped at 13%. With this bold new direction they may finally achieve 12%

yeah, better to vote ONP /s
Shoebridbe is 100% wrong on this, we should double our military aid, reciprocity is a thing. We fuck over another democracy why would anyone come to our aid in a time of need ?
As a Greens voter I’m disappointed in this and several of their policies, the other side of that coin is I am disappointed with nearly all the polices of the other parties.
The only path to sanity lies through the Greens and moving the Overton Window to allow the rise of the truly radical politicians we need, every other political choice is deliberately choosing failure.
