Got this in the mail. Not sure why the LNP is telling me all the great policies the Greens stand for. You'd think they'd want to portray the Greens in a bad light.


Transcription:

A dark green letter, with "What do the Greens really stand for?" in large letters. Under that, three separate article headlines and sources:

  • Stop the Stage 3 Tax Cuts—www.greens.org.au, 16/01/23
  • Greens Back Defunding Police—The Daily Telegraph, June 2020
  • Abolish the Private Health Insurance Rebate—www.greens.org.au, 16/01/23

I honestly think the only reason we don’t see more violence from Australian police (read police shooting people) is because Australia doesn’t have a strong gun culture. But I could be wrong

They also can't just start working for the next county over if they get fired from their jobs and don't have the police union the US cops do. And since Australian police training is measured in years and not weeks, they have to actually worry about their employment here.
