Any policies in particular?

I can't remember but I feel they had some pretty insane ideas. Environmental maybe

I wouldn't call them insane- different absolutely. I'm a bit vague - was meant to have a shot after apocalypse bingo and feeling them.

  • TEAL card. Gives every under 21 (25? 30?) 3k towards education. I won't get it, future generations will.

  • Universal basic income. I don't believe in giving every over 16 enough to not work, but we do need the support system in place.

  • numerous environmental policies and a move away from the big party 3 year reelection goals and a focus on the longer term.

  • Raf isn't a dick (big one here) although he definitely looked defeated on his small segment this evening and may resign. Hope not.

Yeah they all seem really sensible. I'm sure there was something that put me off them.

Their leader a few years ago was shit - racist, offensive, arrogant.
