August was the hottest month in global history and yet, NSW has just approved the biggest coal mine expansion ever proposed in the state. It is scandalous that Australia is leading negotiations at global climate talks, including in the Pacific next week.

I support the current arrangement where the federal leader of the Greens is chosen by the party room. The primary job of the leader is to collaboratively lead Greens parliamentary reps. Those reps need to have confidence in the leader and are best placed to choose the best leader. #auspol

The annual cost of servicing the stadium debt will see the Tasmanian Government withdrawing about $100M pa of expenditure into the Tasmanian economy. That will shrink the state’s economy.

The global rise in bond yields affects the Tasmanian Government. It pushes up the annual cost of servicing the massive stadium debt. It means even more cuts to public sector jobs and services. #politas

The Liberals’ austerity budget is causing dreadful harm to our community. It’s partly driven by the need to fund the ballooning costs of the stadium. It is unconscionable for Labor to stand back and let this happen. #politas

Thanks. The idea that Labor could bounce up to 30% by year end, and then triumphantly return to majority government seems, well, a trifle optimistic.

This is getting really serious. Both Webuild and MPDC have misled the Tasmanian community. There is a stench developing around this tender process for this unwanted and unaffordable stadium. It’s time for Tasmania to cut ties with Webuild. And abandon the stadium. #nonewstadium. #politas

The Liberal Party’s death spiral isn’t just about a decline in support from voters, it’s also about a decline in support from potential suitable candidates. Competition for talent is an aspect of party politics. Very few talented people with political ambitions will now choose the Liberals. #auspol

The Teals have taken some Green votes and this new mob - CS - may take a few more. I don’t know whether CS will get much traction. If they do, they could take quite a few votes from the Libs and Labor, and possibly One Nation, particularly if ON starts to crumble.

Actually, I think most voters simply go by the vibe they feel from parties. But if they get into power, parties need to make policy decisions.

Peter Croger @petercroger.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Once you get elected, you have to decide how you are going to vote on legislation etc. That’s pretty much deciding on what your policy is. And at the next election, voters will know what you decided.

Peter Croger @petercroger.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

I think that to get elected, parties have to claim that things are bad and the people are suffering, and then have to mount a credible case for why they are the mob that is best placed to fix things.

I don’t think a new party with a watered down version of the Green policy platform would lead to a better Australia, or indeed would win a big chunk of votes. Some advocates of a new Teal party would disagree with me.
