He's already there. By a long shot. We've had some shockers, but with Albo it's the gap between possibility & reality that hurts the most. Never again will a Labor Gov be given such a massive majority. And he's completely wasted it. #auspol

So pathetic, after a lifetime plotting and conniving in politics arriving at the pinnacle of his profession PM Albanese has only a meek acceptance of subservience to corporations, Israel and the USA and expects us to understand this as the inevitable status quo…I don't.

Taxing the rich is gaining popularity around the world. Hatred of oligarchs is growing. It's a smart move by the Greens. Maintain the rage, Shoey. #Auspol michaelwest.com.au/new-greens-l...

New Greens leader 'angry' on behalf of everyday workers - Michael West
Reforming the tax system is on new Greens leader David Shoebridge's agenda as he looks to convert Australian voter angst into support for the progressive party.

“A new YouGov poll has the Greens in Victoria on a new high at 18%. Nationally, 36% of young people say they’ll vote Green. Our vote is also higher among women, renters and working class people. We’re cutting through.” #auspol

The Greens are really the only ones who will try to extract us from #AUKUS. They're also the only ones who will act decisively on #ClimateChange and #DataCentres. I guess we have to mull over what's really important to us? 🤔 #auspol

Bad enough that successive Australian governments have outsourced our defence and foreign policy to the US. But with Trump and Hegseth in charge, the 'alliance' [aka Australia giving up its sovereignty] is a huge threat to our national security. #EndAUKUS #auspol

I increasingly feel that Shoebridge is a test for #Auspol that we haven't become too jaded that we can't recognise sincerity in politicians anymore. We see it in this guy and the Independents but not in partisan pollies. I hope we pass the test. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Move over, Hanson — Labor has a new thorn in its side
David Shoebridge wants to hold Labor's feet to the fire. He will be a thorn in the party's side rather than a deal maker.

How worried is Labor about new Greens leader David Shoebridge?
It seems Anthony Albanese would rather only One Nation spoke to voters’ “searing anger”, even if it means more seats for the right than the left.

Of all the disappointments of this Albanese Gov, and there are many, Penny is the greatest. Albo has drained the souls of so many of his team. They are mere shells of their former selves.

All the more reason here to make sure that the Greens see a significant increase in voter support to ensure that the ONLY viable party left in our body politic that will ever come anywhere close to working for voters, bravely takes on the Duopoly and One Nation

Apparently PM Anthony Albanese is concerned David Shoebridge wants the Greens to replace Labor. Given the Albanese Labor Govt no longer upholds ANY "Labor values" and actively supports Israel's genocide, Albo should be concerned. As a long-term Labor supporter, the Greens have my vote. #auspol

Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

Defence Minister Richard Marles is oblivious to that which is obvious to everybody else: Britain cannot deliver our future #AUKUS subs on schedule (if at all). Luckily for Richard, it’s only our money and national security that’s at stake. #auspol

Why Britain cannot deliver SSN-AUKUS on schedule
Britain says SSN-AUKUS remains on track. But its shipyards are already stretched while new reactor and workforce capacity is still being built. Australia is betting heavily on that gap being closed in...

Given the complexity & interconnectivity of the global economy, giving the Reserve such a blunt tool as interest rates, up/down, seems simplistic at best, destructive at worst. This aspect of economic management needs serious reform. No chance of that with this current Gov. #auspol

The net step would be for those very few, genuinely progressive Labor MPs to migrate across to the Greens. Surely there are some who feel totally disillusioned by the Albanese regime.

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

Australia's trend unemployment rate has risen from 4% to 4.6% in two years and is still rising, yet the RBA is persisting in raising cash rates because of a global oil shock. It is ideological madness and it must be close to pitchfork time.

If Albo genuinely believes that the Indo Pacific should not be a chess board for superpowers he should stop being a pawn of the USA, surrendering our sovereignty to the Trump administration and turning Australia into a forward base for US nuclear weapons and a nuclear target!
