The commo bit is my take on the 2 twits. When in a country electorate you
ate least have some country leanings. The Snot (greens) & Labor have none
at all. The snot want to lock all of the country up so we produce
nothing.

no they don't. they are inherently pro-australian farming for reasons of
economic and food security, and in terms of the welfare of farmers
themselves & rural communities in general. (i.e. they do NOT support
petrochemical agri-corporation farming, they do NOT support farmland being
flooded for dams, built up with mcmansions, or allowed to be destroyed by
harmful farming practices.)

furthermore, you'd have noticed a lot of country electorates have labor
members. duh!

Whereas a **** like you just keeps preaching watermelon propaganda without
really looking at the policies of parties. Unions are ditiching Labor and
moving support to the greens as they are better for union members. The
greens inherently support small business( = most family farmer?)

they support all things country in general (famously forests, but also all
the other stuff). the _perception_ of right-wing people who aren't paying
attention is that they hate the country & country people. this idea is
clearly delusional, however, the greens probably need to work a bit harder
on correcting this misinterpretation - that's just the reality of politics.

If you think their policies need fine tuning for the bush, join
the party. At least they still have a system where their policies are
decided by the party members and not back office party hacks.
