Could be a yank on those planes

I think the perception that the greens are arrogant is mostly a media thing to be honest, and I'm not sure how much they can do to fight that. Imo there is a general perception of any activist or left wing group that they're all arrogant/holier than thou types.

They ended up backing Labor's housing policies despite the analysis from think tanks like the Australia Institute saying they would do nothing. This all seems like a double standard anyway to me, did Labor change any policy on housing? It took months to extract some direct cash on top of the HAFF then they refused to negotiate, the greens at least tried to, yet the greens are arrogant.

I think this was the original proposal in 2007 when Rudd was pm. We've been flip flopping on subs for almost 20 years

the only public self-reflection they've done regarding the last term is that "Labor ran an effective campaign on us blocking the HAAF for a year" IIRC.

Basically no political party is going to have an open public discussion on this. There's clearly two "factions" of the Greens, one more pragmatic and the other more 'activist'. I think the observation that Labor ran an effective smear campaign on their own unwillingness to negotiate is pretty obvious (not to say that there isn't also some need for a discussion about how much blocking is the right amount). But everyone seems to think the Greens are "this must be perfect" type people despite the fact that they showed in the last term they were willing to reduce demands or vote for things they didn't like so I guess it isn't.

...Max Chandler-Mather's comments about other politicians being mean

Other MPs complained about how he was treated so... (See here).

This corrosive billionaire puts a lot of money into Australian politics, I think it's important to know what you're enemy is thinking.

I was honestly hoping that people would see trump, see Dutton trying to emulate him, then go "ahh no maybe not."

"deliberate" seems like a pretty high bar. Of course it doesn't stop employer groups crying that literally stealing is being made illegal.

Honestly, reducing the teaching + publish-or-perish + the constant need to apply for grants would go a long way towards fixing the review process. Academics have to spend a lot of time doing a lot of non-academic work that peer reviewing properly sometimes gets pushed down the list of priorities.

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There's practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren't getting screwed.

Let's also not forget that you have to review other people's papers for the journal for free.

There's a lot of "it's probably concealed for a reason" type posts that I don't think I'd be seeing if this was the LNP.

Also how can Australians trust the government to make national security laws if they aren't informed on national security issues?

NSW police are famous for their well measured and reasonable use of power so you're probably right.

But what about the economy‽

Also to be fair, Australia's unemployment system is especially cruel with mutual obligations etc... It's basically designed to kill people.
