“In the latest episode, the discussion of the Voice referendum Ben mentioned the ‘Yes’ results at rural polls with high numbers of indigenous voters (great); could not mention that every Greens held seat voted majority YES, with Adam Bandt’s seat (78% voted yes) the highest in the country. Van can’t go 5 minutes without letting slip how much she hates the Greens. As a leftie, I don’t get it. Labor destroyed the union movement in the 1980s under Hawke and Keating but this doesn’t get mentioned once. Instead the Greens are unconstitutional for daring people to demand more from their politicians (hello, rent freeze). While the Greens continue to live rent free in Van and Ben’s heads, I’m going to go enjoy some serious political journalism elsewhere. Give this a miss. Try The Guardian’s Australian Politics or Mark Kenny’s Democracy Sausage instead.”
