As the Greens get bigger, they sadly become a bigger proponent of the status quo. They're still the best 3rd party by a long shot, but it's fucking disappointing that this is the trend they're continuing to take.

The Greens have become the centre-Left @Deceptichum
Australia has a centre-Right (Labor) and a bunch of far-Right parties. The Overton window has shifted too far to the Right.

Damn Skippy, we need to push the discourse back to the left and to giving a shit about the people.

Australian #media is concentrated to the Right @Deceptichum
Consequently, voters are influenced to not vote Left. Independent media gives some hope, but the hope is fragile.

Our first battle is to take back the ABC.
