โ€œ(Tim) Freedman (The Whitlams) says he is seriously considering supporting the Greens in his Labor-Greens seat of Newtown if Labor leader Chris Minns does not adopt the cashless gaming card as a firm election commitment.โ€ (SMH, 15 January 2023)

I think Chris Minns seems to favour donations from the pokies and gambling lobby over the wishes of #labor supporters

I intend to break a voting habit of a lifetime over this issue because #labor is so blatantly wrong

#auspol #nswpol

@pja so to clarify, Laborโ€™s collusion with big coal and gas in the face of the collapsing weather systems and biosphere didnโ€™t sway you, Laborโ€™s collusion with Liberals on locking up humans on remote islands in inhumane conditions didnโ€™t, Laborโ€™s collusion with the Liberals on taking away legal rights justified by โ€˜national securityโ€™ didnโ€™t,
But the issue of the pokies in NSW is enough to change your vote?

@stewsmith

This is just typical #greens hogwash!

The major difference between #labor and #greens is that Labor aspires to be in government, the Greens will never be in government!

A secondary difference is that Labor understands politics, it understands the need to compromise. These are things the Greens will never understand.

The order of political outcomes is:

1st the best possible outcome;
2nd the best possible compromised outcome; and
3rd a bad outcome

and thatโ€™s what we got after 2009, a bad outcome!

#greens donโ€™t understand compromise and will never understand politics.

This is a typical Labour supporter reply. Ignore the questions, and make unprovable claims about smaller parties.

About as meaningful as liberals claiming to be better economic managers.

@naught101 @stewsmith

Mr Naught101 I would engage you in debate if I thought you were serious about politics.

Labour is something we do to earn money (or try to explain politics to a #green supporter). Labor is the name of the centre-left political party.

Autocorrect on my phone. You know what I meant. You are dodging the issues again.

@naught101 @stewsmith

Typical #greens supporter; always blaming someone or something else ๐Ÿ˜ขโ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜

My last conversation with youโ€ฆ

@pja @stewsmith what makes you think I'm a greens supporter? I criticise them often
