#greens — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #greens, aggregated by home.social.

  1. It seems to me that #Australia is replete with people, groups and organisations calling for sorely needed changes in our #society and in our #politics. What is also evident is that each of these ‘actors’ are operating independently of each other and diluting #ChangeAgency to the extent that none in isolation can bring about such changes.

    What if … what if some bright spark with a modicum of #leadership potential was to harness in all of these dispersed *agents of change* ? What if the #Greens were able to unite these *agents* and focus them on a single but #life-changing policy like #Renationalizing our #HealthSystem, or a bold #MediaOwnership regulations overhall, or something just as grand as these?

    What would the chances be that we, together, could move a mountain and Australia out of its morass?

    What a thought hey?

    We agree on one thing… the #Greens have to get vocal about the things that can be changed for the better good of society as a whole.

    Let’s get rowdy, bring the *Unions* and *Independents* on board with some unassailably good policies and get out on the streets.

    #Unionism #InUnity #NationalProtests and well defined and articulated progressive changes that eveyone can get behind… that is the answer to how we change things, always has been.

  10. As Zack Polanski (rightly) points out:

    'How can the government designate new data centres as ‘critical national infrastructure’ when they don’t even keep records on who is using them and what they are being used for? '...

    The reason, is all the better to render protestors against Data Centres as 'terrorists'.

    This could be a major vote winner for the Green Party of England & Wales, and specifically for Polanski's (likely) by-election..

  19. Senator #DavidShoebridge, with this article for deepcutnews.com, might just have identified the nexus of our communal discontent. Else, he neatly summarizes a major source cause of our collective populist anger. Might this be the ralying cry that the #Greens sorely need? The means to bring about the downfall of our *tired* two party dominated political system?

    “This is the political struggle of the moment: galvanising the 99 per cent into a people-powered political movement to resist and take back power from the 1 per cent.”

    While #PHON has already tapped into this amorphous electoral anger, it has done so, knowingly or otherwise, without pointing back to the backers behind their emotive political messages. In my view, that is where the Greens ought to make a difference and increase their piece of the electoral pie.

  24. Party political donation problems, Green Party of England & Wales style:

    Zack Polanski (the leader of the GPEW) has had eight donations of £513 returned to him but the party as at the time (for reason of security, apparently) he was not entered on the electoral roll.

    A little different to the donations issues that swirl around the Fascist Frog.... and indicative of the rather different politics of donations in the two parties.

  29. An interesting article from #RichardDenniss (of the Australian Insititute) delving into a question I’ve been asking myself for a few years now: “The big question is, if the Greens can’t pick up an exodus of Labor voters, what is their plan to grow their support?”

    It is worth the read.

    “Labor lost nearly half of its voters in Saturday’s election. But despite the huge swing, the Greens primary vote actually also fell. Put another way, even though over 6,000 people who voted for Labor in 2025 changed their vote to someone else on Saturday, the Greens primary vote also fell by over 400.”

    'You know if #Peters, #Seymour and the #Tax Payers #Union are panting hysterically about any #policy that they claim is the end of the world as we know it ... then whoever is making them clutch their pearls ... and act in a most agitated manner has raised something that the people they represent want strangled at birth.

    These people do not represent "the people" and definitely not fairness and equality, they represent maintaining a system that rewards the owners of #Capital that benefit from #labour and #business #owners being taxed to #subsidize the lack of #capital gains, #land and #inheritance tax that they refuse to pay.

    Calling the #Greens #communists is factually wrong and laughable but the fact they have reacted so #hysterically to the Greens proposed tax #policies, which would force their masters to pay tax (at all) is telling and all fair minded people should support the Greens because of this, otherwise tax #reform in #NZ will not happen.

  38. “Greens call for pause on data centres until mandatory standards are in place
    By Holly Tregenza

    The Greens say the government should impose an indefinite pause on any data centre developments until mandatory regulatory rules are in effect.

    Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has called AI "the new extractive industry" and says without the right regulation, big tech companies will take Australia's resources "and leave Australians with nothing to show for it".

    "It is essential that we get the rules right. To do that, we need a pause on the approval and construction of new hyperscale data centres while we do this important policy work," she says.

    "Just because big tech companies want to move at hyperspeed, doesn't mean that we need to fast-track and roll out the red carpet for them." (Source ABCNews Live)

    Given that the #LNP and #PHON are unlikely to support the #AILegislation when it hits the floor in Parliament, this is a great opportunity for the #Greens and #IND to get that legislation right as well as the political coin that comes with that.
