@tammy-w.bsky.social
Living on Ngunnawal Country (Canberra), Australia, interested in social policy, health policy, politics and my community. Love music and dancing (mostly blues), movies and hot summer days (and nights).
So, having given it some (maybe too much) thought, it is farewell (at least for now).

The final straw came with @kudelka.bsky.social - someone with a zillion followers - who mockingly reposted me (and lots of others with similar views, too), called me a delusional cult member when I objected and then blocked me.
A great talent but a small mind - what a nasty person he is!

What I’ve encountered here, though, is a lot of intolerance and some just plain meanness. I’ve been insulted and blocked for holding marginally different views to others (no, I will not vote for an indie in the Reps without transparency on minority govt support, and Greens have disappointed).

I don’t agree with everyone, nor do I expect everyone to agree with me. I enjoy banter and debate and am always interested in, and curious to hear about, others’ views, even if they don’t align with mine.

Maybe they’ll learn from that and elect a new leader who will change that direction, negotiate constructively and win amendments to improve legislation.

There seems to be an internal contradiction in accusing a person critical of a political party you believe in of being deluded and belonging to a cult?

Mmm, mock if you like, but I’m hardly an outlier.

Exactly the problem with the parliamentary lot. Anyone doesn't agree with them is wrong. Haven't progressed from protest group to political party.

I'm always open to political debate, but never from a starting position of being called ignorant.

True. The Greens federally seem to have decided to compete with Labor and put the perfect in the way of the good. Their decision on who will lead them from here will tell us which way they mean to go.

There was an interesting piece in @aunz.theconversation.com recently, if you can find it, highlighting the seats in the last election where informal votes exceeded the winning margin, and the reasons why. Only a small proportion were deliberate.

The stories are emerging. The Age/SMH ran a lengthy and detailed “Inside Story” piece yesterday that’s worth reading if you can access it.

Sounds credible, given the Coalition went to the election with so few policies, and almost none that were actually costed! The few they had were either “tweaked” or dumped along the way.
