This is about the third time a story like this has popped up. I wonder if it’s the same girl or separate stories.

- Comment on Larissa Waters named new leader of the Greens 1 year ago:
Good choice. She’s always come across as calm and level headed. Hopeful they can do some good climate relevant negotiations with Labor.

I think anyone not knee deep in the Greens membership would prefer Larissa Waters.
- Comment on Trapped in 'deep poverty': The people who say they were left behind by the budget 1 year ago:
