For a long time, I've taken the view that the #Greens should act, informally, as a leftwing coalition partner for #Labor, pushing for stronger and more progressive policies. But that's no longer tenable. The Greens need to fight Labor rather than giving critical support. #auspol

The immediate way to signal this is to position the Greens as fighting Trump and all his Australian allies, from #Hanson to #Albanese. The idea that One Nation is uniquely beyond the pale has been abandoned by the Liberals and Nationals, with all three seeking to occupy the same territory.

And Labor is complicit in this, denouncing Hanson while trying to attract her voters. A commitment to break with Trump would place Greens on one side, Lab-LNP-ONP coalition on the other.

More soon on this, I hope.

@johnquiggin I would love to see Albanese lose his seat in Grayndler, where I live, to the Greens.
