'I'm not going anywhere': Senator Lidia Thorpe has no intention of leaving politics over undisclosed relationship

Look at the greens voting history and preference deals. They throw incremental change under the bus because it’s not drastic enough and we sit with nothing instead. They preference conservatives and fuck over their ideological allies so they can get more money out of the electoral process.

I’m wildly in favour of the things the greens say they’re about, in much the same way that the things the national party say they’re about I actually see a lot of good in - the NZ nationals lead their push for gay marriage for example because it was directly in line with the party’s stated values; a memo the Australian nationals clearly missed. The Australian Greens and Nationals both operate directly in contradiction of their alleged values. I’m really not a fan of the way they actually use their power. I’m certainly not a fan of the way the greens claim moral superiority as a protest choice when they’re doing the same reprehensible shit as the majors.

It’s disgusting that Labour are the least objectionable party in practice when they’re still SO shit. Jesus fuck I want a better option.
