The recent article on page 8 from the local Labor branch president was breathtaking in its irrelevance considering the ALP has watered down environmental laws and threatened the extinction of the endangered Morgean Skate, a rare prehistoric creature (the equivalent scenario of the Thylacene) and opened the doors for further degrading of other environmental laws. All for the benefit of polluting multinational salmon farms which pay no tax (according to the Australia Institute 2023) and are destroying Macquarie Harbour and also received a multimillion-dollar handout, all for a hundred votes.
I thought the ALP couldn’t get any lower after the waste of money on AUKUS, threats to our sovereignty, and aligning ourselves with the US war machine; but this recent policy by the lying Albanese is so morally bankrupt, I can’t understand how anyone with a remote conscience can vote for them.
The worst Labor government in Australian history couldn’t find five dollars a week for the unemployed, but still feed us the line about easing the cost of living.
At least the Greens have intelligent economic, environmental and social policies which show they care about people and the planet.
Say what you like but at least the Greens don’t lie and bullshit.
