Her inevitable clashes within Labor will eclipse anything she experienced in The Greens.
Albanese declared the senator’s departure was a sign the Greens had become an unrecognisable party after they blocked housing bills last term and focused heavily on the war in Gaza.
And yet she is the only Greens member to have publicly used the slogan “From the river to the sea…”.
Regardless of one’s stance on Gaza politics, Albo is being disingenuous. He is merely gloating about the defection.
And why gloat? He still needs the Greens on board to pass legislation.
We wouldn’t be surprised by such behavior from the conservatives (they gave up on Christ-like behavior long ago) but we hold this mob to a higher standard - let’s hope they hear the disgust from their constituents and pull their heads in.
Bonus points if “conservative” voters for their part would start criticizing their politicians for instead being extremists.
