Reposted by Jeremy's EarWell May We Say @wellmaywesay.bsky.social · 05/10/2026OK time for a new exciting thread - hunting for any coverage of the Greens in the Victorian state election that discusses them in any way positively let alone discusses their actual policies (and opposition to ALP/LNP/ON promises of locking up kids, tax cuts for property investors & data centres). 121
Jeremy's Ear @jeremysear.bsky.social · 05/10/2026They're all doing it. All the "news" organisations are flat-out erasing the Greens from their coverage. Reminder that in the last Victorian election, the last time we were ALL polled, the Greens got 11.5%. One Nation got 0.28%, less than 1/6th of the vote of say the Vic Socialists. And yet... 1106
Jeremy's Ear @jeremysear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'd like to see the Greens start attacking the ABC for this shit. Make them up their game. Worked for the right. Also end the fiction people believe that the ABC is somehow pro Greens. No, it's obsessed with trying to make One Nation happy. 031
Reposted by Jeremy's EarWell May We Say @wellmaywesay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Actually, ABC, I'd say there's one opposition now - the Greens. The rest (ALP, LNP, ON) are all varying degrees of the right - lock up kids, property investor tax cuts, data centres, cuts to public services and infrastructure. Weird you forgot to mention them? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...abc.net.auThree oppositions are contesting Victoria's election.

Jeremy's Ear @jeremysear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Long past time for complaints to the ABC for its utter failure to properly - let alone fairly - cover progressive parties and candidates.

Jeremy's Ear @jeremysear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The ABC on the Victorian election: "There are 3 opposition parties. LNP, ON, and... The ALP premier campaigning to join them on the right!" According to the ABC, left voters and parties (eg the Greens) simply don't exist and won't be covered.

Jeremy's Ear @jeremysear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Wow the twits at the ABC, Speers and Karvelas, opining that the Greens could fall apart like the Democrats - as if the Dems' crisis (are we left or centrists who pass shit like the GST?) could apply to a party which is very clearly and proudly left and where the leadership transition was smooth. 030
Jeremy's Ear @jeremysear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Isn't it great all the ways the new Victorian "Labor" premier is on a unity ticket with the LNP and ON? And how the Greens are the only party not, for example, committing to giving tax cuts to property investors (to be paid for by cuts to public infrastructure)? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...abc.net.auVictorian Liberals promise to slash surgery waitlist while Labor backs land tax cutsThe major parties are ramping up their election campaigns in Victoria, as the Coalition vows to halve elective surgery wait times and Labor promises to reverse course on land tax. 010
