    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 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

        The most recent bout of brain damage was when they wanted

        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.

            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
