        Yeah it’s a pain in the arse, fortunately we have preference voting so we can afford to go third party and still underwrite the safe option.

        It’s no less frustrating though; the Australian Greens, most of the independents and teals put forward the policies we really need to take us forward.

        The Greens have wanted electrification of our transport systems for decades. But they’re ’wishy washy’ and ‘obstructionist’.
