Huge congratulations to @davidshoebridge.bsky.social 💚👨🏼‍⚖️⚖️ the only politician with grit, firebrand intelligence all round to hold the feet to the fire to the shysters 🔥 in the far right parties and One Nation who manage the symptoms ultimately to do the bidding of Labor and The LNP!

Good luck @davidshoebridge.bsky.social 💚👨🏼‍⚖️⚖️and @stephhodgins-may.bsky.social 💚💚 The Greens don’t need another polite attempt to “keep Labor honest.” They need a ticket that actually tries to replace them climate action that isn’t a slogan, a fair return from resources, housing and income security,

🇦🇺 SOVEREIGNTY ISN’T BOUGHT - IT’S BUILT. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social 💚👨🏼‍⚖️⚖️ is right to connect this war with what Australians are now feeling at the bowser. The conflict and disruption through the Strait of Hormuz have put substantial upward pressure on global oil and fuel prices.
