It’s hard to shake a first narrative (Greens “failure”). But as in previous post the story is more in the votes than the (fifth) seats. (Greens now looking likely to win 4 seats.)

The #ACTLiberals having another normal one:
"Peter Cain, the ACT’s shadow attorney general, has apologised “wholeheartedly” for a 2002 workbook he wrote which does not mention the frontier wars and paints a rosy picture of how Christian settlers helped First Nations peoples.
One exercise talks about the “unfortunate things that happened” with colonisation then asks students to discuss how Aboriginal people have been “blessed” by the British coming."
1. Is there a more pointless political party in Australia than the ACT Liberals?
2. With two of their MLAs in Ginny now disgraced, will the voters who shift go to an Indie, Greens or Labor?#auspol #ACTGreens #ACTLabor #ACTvotes

For those who are a bit jaded, and reckon all political parties are the same. Think again.
After mining, the most corrupting influence in politics is property.
So, for those following #actvotes in #canberra, the Property Council have given the #ACTGreens a massive backhanded complement; they are hosting a 'leaders debate' but only between #Labor and #Liberal !
No Greens even though they are in government, and have three Ministers some of whom have portfolios that inform the property sector.
The Greens are clearly a threat to the spivs in the property council and that is a good thing. Lab and Libs are in their pockets.
