I saved this from 5 months ago: https://aussie.zone/post/15598435/13409792
It's not just the Israel/Palestine stance (which I don't want to get into because I'll get downvoted to heck) but a big part is housing, they were seen (rightly or wrongly) as delaying housing, as someone who voted for MMC to see him doing this killed me
There was other things but a big one that stands out to me was this:
https://greens.org.au/news/media-release/greens-wont-support-rba-reforms-until-labor-tells-bank-cut-rates
That is absolutely fucking insane, it might just be the most insane economics policy I'd ever seen, this is Donald Trump tier idiocy, it's a similar line to wanting to get rid of the Fed Chair in America but even he backed off after realising how badly it would mess things up
The central bank is independent, if the government starts setting the rates then what is the point of the central bank?
There was loads of other things they did

I just hope that the greens take some lessons from this election
