the greens are planning their election run. the ABC reports there are 5 additional seats they will be targeting with tyre ambition of benefiting from a hung parliament from the next election. Bandt sees himself as the negotiator in chief and therefore have the power to decide the outcome of the election.
is this what anyone, other than hard greens, wants?
Nonetoobright Bandt in his NPC address gave what one journo described is like Trump. not in content but in style.
"People", Bandt declared from the outset, "are drowning".
"Millions of people are falling further and further behind."
While Bandt may not have gone as far as Trump's famous 2017 inauguration day "American carnage" address, the vibe is unmistakably similar.
"Millions of people are being robbed, fleeced and plundered by big corporations and billionaires in a heist facilitated and enabled by the politicians from Labor and the Liberals," said Bandt.
"It's not some natural occurrence that has rerouted the economy away from the wages of working people and into the profits of big corporations," Bandt said.
"It's been rigged by design.
"People are angry. They're right to be."
Many voters will agree the system does feel rigged, particularly younger Australians locked out of the housing market. And there is plenty of evidence to suggest he's right on that score.
ABClonkl.
well..... do you want Bandt to be the deal maker?
what a bad joke that would be.
