Voting Green isn't enough because the bigger project is pushing Green politics beyond managing capitalism and towards building a genuine alternative to it, then connecting that movement globally. Capitalism is global and therefore any serious alternative has to be too. @greens.org.au #auspol

The @albomp.bsky.social government has aided this horrific genocide by supplying parts for the IDF's F-35 fighter jets, and by being politically cowardly. Shame on you, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social & Richard Marles.

Before you vote ask the very serious question, where would Australia be without migrants? I personally reckon they are the bloody backbone of this country no questions asked - and right wing groups and political parties like One Nation are nothing more than morally bankrupt racists.

Ukrainians are getting forced into military service, essentially kidnapped. There is more to the story of this war than you think. I was a staunch believer of the narrative we are being fed but it’s not so black and white. Anyway, good luck to you.

You truly know we’re in a far right dystopian landscape when David Shoebridge newly elected leader of The Australian Greens gets grilled by every media platform and their dog whereas Pauline Hanson gets the equivalent of being hit with a wet lettuce in terms of media treatment.

Finally, a sensible policy. ‘The Greens support a dramatic downgrading of the US-Australia alliance — including renegotiating the bedrock ANZUS treaty.’ “The US military bases aren’t making us safe; they’re making us a target.”

Excerpts from the tremendous public service & public resource that is the HANSON DOSSIER - the "complete public accountability record of Pauline Hanson. Drawn from court judgments, parliamentary records, AEC data, and verified journalism" Share it & keep it handy‼️ 👉 thehansonrecord.com
Excerpt from the HANSON DOSSIER

Senator Hanson had a tendency to make racist, discriminatory, hateful, derogatory and Islamophobic statements, particularly in relation to persons of colour, migrants to Australia and Muslims. She was found to be an argumentative witness who would say anything which came to mind if she felt it would suit her at the time. - Justice Angus Stewart, Federal Court of Australia - Faruqi v Hanson, November 2024. 
This is a formal judicial finding made after hearing Hanson testify under oath. It is not a political opinion. It is the considered judgment of an Australian Federal Court judge.Excerpt from a section titled The Verdict in the HANSON DOSSIER

Pauline Hanson has spent 30 years telling Australians she is one of them. A battler. A plain-speaker. A politician who cuts through the rubbish and fights for ordinary people against a self-serving political class and the wealthy elites who have rigged the system. That story does not match what she has actually done.

She has been found guilty of racial discrimination by the Federal Court of Australia. She has been suspended from the Senate and censured 55 votes to 5. Her senior staff were caught on hidden camera trying to sell Australia's gun laws to American lobbyists for up to $20 million. She personally cast doubt on the Port Arthur massacre on hidden camera. She has accepted a $2 million plane from Australia's richest billionaire and undisclosed jet flights from that same billionaire. She billed taxpayers to attend that billionaire's fundraising events on a luxury cruise ship. She placed her daughter in a $150,000 taxpayer-funded job and banned the journalist who asked about it from all future access. She attended just 12 per cent of Senate estimates hearings over her career while being paid a full senator's salary. She promoted vaccine misinformation linking vaccines to autism and cancer. She published a book claiming Aboriginal women ate their babies to "demonstrate savagery" and used it to raise funds for her party.Excerpt from a section titled The Verdict in the HANSON DOSSIER cont'd

While doing all of that, she has voted against wage increases for workers, against childcare funding for families, against housing affordability policies, against public school funding, against renewable energy, against renters' rights, against COVID vaccine urgency as Australians were dying in aged care, and against nearly every social safety net mechanism that would actually help the working-class Australians she claims to represent.

She changed her party's constitution in 2017 to give herself lifetime leadership and the sole right to choose her own successor, making One Nation constitutionally indistinguishable from a personal fiefdom. Seven senators have quit or been expelled from the party since 2016. The party founded on anti-establishment populism is now bankrolled by a mining billionaire worth tens of billions of dollars, flying on her private jet and attending her fundraisers on a luxury cruise ship.

The people who pay the price for Pauline Hanson's political career are the ordinary Australians she claims to represent. The record is public. The choice is yours.Excerpt from the HANSON DOSSIER

Table comparing the policy position of One Nation, Labor, Coalition and the Greens on 13 policies relating to: Climate Science, Gun Laws, Worker Pay Rises, ABC and SBS, Renewable Energy, Housing Affordability, Childcare, Public School Funding, Abortion Rights, UN Membership, Multiculturalism, Trans Healthcare, and Press Freedom

[On every single one, One Nation has a regressive, frequently far-right radical stance]

Not easy bein' green. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing an aerial view over a table as a Greens strategy meeting is under way. Six different (unidentified) people are discussing the way forward for the party as one of them types up ideas including "replace labor" and "harness voter anger better than Pauline". Working clockwise around the table from top left the conversation is thus: Person 1: "New leader?" 2: "Check." 3: "Logo still good?" 4: Check." 5: "Now if we can just sort our brand assets from our liabilities..." The hands hover over a selection of different shades of green colour swatches variously labelled: "Bottle anger green", "Electric future green", "Legalise leaf green", "Smashed avo green", "Combative green", "Classic native forest green", "Watermelon green", "Cool quip green", "Rich tax green", "Muted sage green", "Throwing shade green", Free dental fresh mint green", "Brunswick green", with a bunch more partially visible beneath the pile.

David Shoebridge has been party leader for 3 days. But the media is grilling him on everything from the housing crisis, Jewish relations, party democracy and the war in Ukraine. Pauline Hanson has been leader of her party for 30 years, and she gets grilled on, well, practically nothing. #auspol
