@treleanor I suspect the party policy #FatimaPayman broke was the unwritten 'We will not respect the Greens'.
It is a strong policy position, and one that underlines the inherent self-doubt of the #ALP. As long as the ALP maintains childish hatred of the Greens, they will bleed votes (and members too!) across to the Greens.
It's very much relevant to #Makarrata. The ALP *could* say: you Greens, YOU do the running now. (We got basted by Murdoch on #Voice.) But you guys are crazy enough to have another go? Go you good things. Burn hard - off you go. We'll stand to one side, offer a free vote in the Parliament and be helpful in every way *except* ways that risk our own skin.
The #Greens are, can be, could be, a bloody great asset to the ALP. Someone over there just needs to trip over the #ClueStick.
