the greens are, unfortunately, still just career politicians who think they are trying

The Greens are the good party.

The greens are worse than Labor. They used to actually care about the environment, now they’re just a radical left communist-lite bunch of career politicians who only care about other countries and their own bank accounts.

Given the bad incentives on parties from our two party system then even Greens would eventually become bad (unless they managed to fix the voting system they just won on…).

The greens have managed to get corrupt and shitty without ever getting in power.

Bullshit.
It was only 8 years ago Labor campaigned on removing capital gains tax discounts which would’ve been a huge kick up the ass for landlords.
They lost that election in spectacular fashion.

Their own review found that was almost entirely due to the unlikeability of Bill Shorten, but is trundled out by every rusted on labor voter every time.
Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.
They’ve done nothing about housing since they’ve been in power and keep decrying the previous government as if their still in opposition.

This is the dumbest theory that only a child would believe.
Australians have a vested interest in keeping property prices high. Everyone owns property, not just Labor candidates.
