The Greens — completely unelectable. “Shoebridge’s stated policy of giving Ukraine military support only if it was backed by the United Nations Security Council is, given the obvious fact that Russia as a permanent member would veto it, a ridiculous policy.”

Extremism is all the rage. But there’s a moment that will truly test Shoebridge and Hanson
You don’t need to peer too far back into the past to be reminded how public sentiment can rearrange itself once an election is called.

Polanski said he couldn't focus on the "Zionism is racism" motion b/c he had to focus on campaigning.

But in abdicating his leadership role he undermined his Holborn prospects *and* his claim on the leadership role.

I don't think this guy is meant for politics.
