Older generations in Aust have overwhelmingly voted for regressive climate denialist policies of LNP & self-serving rorts on housing

Political Gadgets website has them a bit aligned with Greens overall on their voting record
Which is a point of bitter debate & contention for both Libs & them
Wilkie is ~90% concordance with Greens on parl votes
Their 2 party voting alignment is overwhelmingly towards Labor aside from Katter & Le

Ad hominem without data sadly typical #ahuspol
Greens MPs are most public educated & also higher ed group
Acrual data if anyone bothers to look before speaking, via AFR 👇

Thanks Ketan, Labor, media, Indies & many ENGOs were all lining up to bully Greens to just pass it of course

Well over 100 mm across most of Wilsons River catchment for Lismore, most since midnight
This water will be in Lismore tonight
Still raining pretty solid
Just a matter of scale for this flood now, over the levee will wreck many in town again

Criticising those who just use stupid tropes against Greens who have longstanding position on climate
FWIW some Indies including Pocock & Zoe Daniels have taken swipes & said stupid tropes about Greens themselves
