Trump and Musk’s corruption is now built into Australia’s most expensive defence procurement. Congrats everyone, never saw this coming.

No frustration: the deal wasn't worth it to me, I'm not unusual — most people who hit that barrier simply don't come back. You can disagree about whether the trade-off is worth it, but "no one misses that kind of contribution" is an odd way to answer a post about the party losing volunteers

2) "You could have waited" works for one person; in aggregate most don't wait — you don't get years of contribution, you get none. Provisional or non-voting membership would fix stacking without the friction. 2/2

Two problems. 1) Stackers are patient and organised — a waiting period barely slows them. What it does is bounce people who showed up out of urgency, so the barrier selects against exactly who you want. 1/2

Hey David, I joined the Greens in NSW a number of years ago. I wanted to contribute to the various committees and was told I had to wait 6 months. So I cancelled my membership. So if you're calling on us to contribute, can you confirm that we can? You don't have 6 months to waste and neither do we

Members should absolutely have a say in the leadership of the Greens. So let's make it happen. Join our movement.

Albo says Labor are a party of government, not protest. Labor deserted their base - read the room They are a party of government - for rich corporations, greedflationeers, the top 1%, pro-Israel lobby, pro-gambling lobby. Their moral failings know no bounds David Shoebridge, come on down! 👍

This is so shortsighted. Any ebike that can go faster then 25km/h should be registered. Anyone riding them should be licensed. We do it for cars and motorcycles, so the mechanism already exists. Revenue opportunity rather than a waste of resources www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

And nothing about curbing the rampant profiteering - it's greedflation. Targeting higher unemployment makes it harder for workers to get better pay. Maybe the RBA thinks raising rates will stop the war. Or maybe this is about further enriching their rich mates 🤬

It's an ambitious approach. It's not the "I'm going to scream at you until you get it" approach of Chandler-Mather that put so many people off the Greens

"it must be acknowledged Shoebridge is not the most popular guy across the parliament or among Labor types, but much of that stems from his relentless style of questioning, needling and interrogation of political opponents and government officials." "it must be acknowledged"??? It's to his credit.

Congratulations David! Great message. The fact that you can do it without shouting at us is what makes me hopeful about the Greens again. Cleverly picking apart the system as you do in senate estimates is exactly what we need. Go well! 👍
