A Liberal-Green government. Could it happen in Australia?
By Monte Bovill

In many ways, the Liberals and the Greens are complete opposites — but in the ACT, an Australian-first power-sharing arrangement between the two parties almost became a reality. So, in politics, can opposites really attract?

@ARC_Tracker I'd love to be an assessor, get my #Mum (she's getting on a bit, has some strong ideas about quilting, the #ALP and #grevilleas, but none about #research) to do the writing.

It'd make the job SO much easier.

No need to cite her - she has no idea really, just writes well. Perfect.

[I did not use MyMum.ai, nor any other LLM in construction of this content, and take resposibollity for typos, rantiness and the purple stripey HighHorse™ I am sitting on.]

[Did I mention the wee froth sitch? Oh I did. Rightio]

The #NDIS narritive was perpetuated by murdoch media. Then, instead of fixing the issues that were there, you punished those that needed care instead. Then on top of it, you dont take royalties from an industry that is literally ripping of an entire nation. The only social license i see has been revoked and thats between the people and the #ALP .

Social licence test shows why Labor acts on NDIS but not gas

Labor's radical transformation of the NDIS as it resists a growing chorus of support for a new gas tax exposes the limit of its willingness to act when given a social licence.

Angus Taylor and the Liberal Party's moral decline

POTTS POINT, NSW. — The Liberal Party, battling an extreme version of itself - One Nation, has again fallen back to its default political policy: racism.
