greens say we are all going to die, page-57

"Except for the NBN, there were no policies on offer."

Rubbish, only to those who have no interest in politics.

"the Greens result wasn't a once-off protest vote"

Rubbish, several people I know voted that way for precisely that reason.

"the Greens are deliberately excluded from coverage by media proprietors"

Rubbish, they get just as many panel members on Q&A as the mainstream parties, the ABC loves the the left and the Greens. You are definitely right that the Greens do not explain their policies and the honest consequences of implementation, if they did there voter base would shrink which is probably why they do not do it.

"you can't chalk it up to personality politics either."

Rubbish, it is clear from reading this forum that the main problem people had with voting Liberal was Tony Abbott's staunch religious views and how that would effect policy.
