The Greens blocked Labors attempts to tackle climate change, they fucked around and blocked affordable housing, and they're surprised when voters walk away.

For example, using data from the Scanlon Foundation Research Institute, he pointed to a correlation between voters under financial stress and anti-political feelings.

With geniuses like these in the Greens who wouldn't trust them with running the country. Its almost like the people they've been pandering too aren't the ones struggling financially, and the people who are hurting the most see the Greens as likely to hurt them more with bullshit plans that only help inner city yuppies.
