    I suspect it’s largely targeting the teals because the Greens aren’t negatively effected by it. The Libs are losing heaps of ground to them.

      almost entirely directed at the Teals. shame, as well; Dr. Monique Ryan is one of the most level headed, intelligent parliamentarians we’ve had in a long time.

        Absolutely agree. A lot of the teals are providing a great alternative to the Libs who were pretty much on a gravy train for a long time. It disgusts me that the main parties would prefer to create legislation to inhibit change rather than adapt to what the people obviously want.

      Neither major party has anything to offer the average person this election. Albo sat on his hands until discontent towards Morrison tilted things his way. Dutto is doing the same thing.

      As many observers have said, I believe this is just a form of attrition to starve minor parties of funding, diminish their ability to organise and prevent challenges to their duopoly. Both parties receive money from the same people - mining, sports betting, other pieces of shit in our community.
