The Greens are continually looked past and talked down on MSM.
#SBS news tonight #AnnaHenderson talked about migration only referred to #PHON and the opposition. One Nation currently has 2 seats in the House of Representatives and 4 seats in the Senate, and the Greens have 1 seat in the House of Representatives and 10 seats in the Senate. 6 v 11 WTAF? #AUSPOL
Thought experiment: If you were omnipotent and could prevent harm, would you do it? Certainly you would! Interestingly, this would make you a more benevolent god than the one we're told about. Why is that? Find atheist reflections at suchanek.name/texts/atheis...

@larissawaters.bsky.social I applaud your stance on many issues and follow you on Bluesky. I would like to see The Greens media profile raised as we all need to know more about you so you are seen as a real alternative to the duopoly. The Greens’ Bluesky account is dormant. Can it be enlivened?

Privatisation has failed. Every time an essential service is privatised, people quite literally pay for it. The price goes up and the quality of service goes down. And crucially, this failure is shared by both the major parties. Read the full piece: australiangreens.substack.com/p/victorian-...

Senator David Shoebridge@davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 6d agoDefence began a $7 billion satellite program 5 years ago, burnt $100 million on a US arms manufacturer, abandoned it 2 years ago, and has now restarted it. No one has been sacked.
Is that the opinion of the majority of the population or just the shouty, noisy, bigoted minority whose votes the #lnp and #alp are scared of losing?
Glenn Plummer I👀U@glenntheplummer.bsky.social · 5d agoI find it abhorrent that the 2 main political parties are taking notice of of Australians who believe there are too many immigrants and also that there are not enough houses and are developing policies that take into account the population’s opinion. Yet when it comes to AUKUS and AI they ignore us.
I think such things should be left to the women and their doctors not a party of ignoramuses

I couldn’t agree more. Re-electing Trump and passing Brexit both reflected ignorance on a scale never seen before in any civilization. Stunned by Americans’ unimaginable stupidity, I was crushed when the UK forced me to conclude, ‘My God, they’re no smarter than we are.’
I doubt the “Australian people” are qualified to make any detailed decisions on the complex issues surrounding immigration. I’m certainly not. But I am happy to consider independent expert opinion on the subject.
The DILETTANTE@demwar.bsky.social · 7d agoBarnaby Joyce: we will listen to the Australian people not the boffins on immigration. To be clear - the majority will of an informed constituency is democracy. The will of a misinformed populace whipped up by fear and falsehoods by media interests is populism. One Nation is not democratic.

Given Australia’s dreadful history of defence procurement these are likely to turn out to be late, over budget duds, and obsolete well before their time.
Senator David Shoebridge@davidshoebridge.bsky.social · last wk.At $9 billion per obsolete boat only the UK arms dealer making them thinks the Hunter frigate is a good idea. We should scrap them now before billions more are wasted. The only naval ships that cost more anywhere on the planet are nuclear powered aircraft carriers.
Always worth remembering, the only reason we see Barnaby so much on TV is because Hanson, despite 30 years as a politician, cannot find a coherent thought with a map, flash light and two days worth of rations. ABC etc should stop giving Barnaby the free air time and demand the leader of the party.
