      Well the greens are also not leadership material, some of their economic policies are just short of insanity

      But people still preference them first to push labour further left

        I shouldn’t entertain the off topic trolls but, hey I’m bored, let’s go. Which of their policy’s is the most insane do you think? And why?

          I actually went over their policies in depth like a decade ago when they wanted to cut all lng and coal exports essentially crippling our economy overnight with no real plan for what to fill in the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of exports with

          Greens demand hostile takeover of RBA

          https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-23/greens-demand-rba-intervention/104378646

          this is insanity, the central bank is independent for a reason, if the government takes it over what is the point of the central bank??? 🤯

          The Greens demand puts them in the same company as Donald Trump, who last month said the US president should have a say in setting Federal Reserve interest rates that determine the cost of mortgages, credit cards and commercial loans.

            So that’s not a policy, it was political posturing for a populist ideal. I.e demand something that has no chance of happening in the current political landscape to highlight the failures of the current government. There must be a million examples where Labor and Liberal have done similar

              I cannot think of any as insane as suggesting a Trump-esk style take over of Australia’s central bank

              If you can think of anything close that Labor have suggested I’d love to hear it
