Greens can hope to pick up the mess Labor and Albanese have made
Labor’s shift to the right has opened political space on its left. If the Greens seriously want to become an alternative party of government, they must take votes from Labor, professionalise and build a much broader political movement.

A new poll has shown the Greens' vote is on the rise! The Greens are the most popular party with young people & ahead of their state election, the Victorian Greens are polling at record highs. People want change.

The IDF came into my Twitter replies to try & boost their fake report accusing Palestinian journalists they murdered of being Hamas. But when Piers Morgan invited them to debate the so-called evidence with me, they didn't show up so... he empty-chaired them. And then I debunked their 'study':

I've had these conversations in my community and, at a certain point you realise you can point out all the ways in which Hanson is lying and using racism as a cover, that they'll be worse off, etc., and then they say something that boils down to "well, she might be a liar but at least she's racist."
