Pretty scary (to me) that The Greens might form government with Labor at this election.

If an Australian election was held today, the opinion polls say the most likely outcome would be a joint ALP/Greens government. The Greens have policies outside the environment which will transform business in Australia and almost certainly cause a big fall in the sharemarket.

For example, one of their policies involves extending an ALP signature policy, taxing unrealised capital gains, deeper into superannuation — and beyond the superannuation arena — which is exactly what Treasury wants.

The Greens in recent times have moved from their traditional environmental platform into the Middle East/terror issues, which have cost them support.

But, they also have domestic social policies, including: free medical and dental services; lower mortgage interest rates; abolition of fees on state schools; a cap of 50c on public transport rides; abolition of student debt, and many others.

The only way the government could get worse, just add greens. Surely Labor remembers the last time they made that mistake. I don't want those retards in power. They are like a shotgun across issues and are full of head cases.

I think you're laughing at what Gottliebsen wrote.

But, imo, the Greens should have just stuck to trees.

Neither party have an energy policy, they both have a wish and a prayer, that's the major problem IMO.

Nuclear isn't going to happen quickly, renewables aren't going to happen quickly, the hydrogen superpower has dissapated, the made in Australia battery manufacturing has imploded.

So now, we the public, have to work out which dream can dreaming party, has the best campfire story.

It really is a sad state of affairs, when you have to decide between dumb and dumber, because neither can put forward an easily understood comprehensive policy.

Austrialia is in deep manure, until some shining light with a glimmer of intelligence breaks through IMO. Lol

Bring on the election, we can chose between vegitarian pizza, or peperoni pizza, but you can only chose pizza and both come with the same base Lol
It's a shame we have to wait so long and go through all the pantomime and theatre, before the election.

tnh id say basicsally the vegitarian pizza or vegetable pizza, the minor parties are basically add on vegetables to the vegitarian or vegetable pizza minua a few decent inderpentants like the Rennicks, Babbet & maybe a few more
