Hey Richard,

We all know that The Greens are struggling to break through the ~12% margin of votes based on mainstream anti-greens rhetoric. Murdoch's media monopoly definitely has an impact on this but what as supporters do you think we could do to help overcome this vilification, if I may use such a strong word?

Also, what's your favourite food to eat while on the campaign trail?

Have you ever had men come in looking at buying a bra for their "partner" but you're sure they're actually buying it for themselves?

I think we should take solace in that we're a part of a grassroots party and we've been building our support by talking to people. Not using dot points in the media and on TV. Both Labor and Liberal probably outspend us by ten-fold but we get just under a 1/3 of the votes and growing.

Hey Adam,

As someone who did their PHD on law and Marx would you like The Greens to be more open about socialism? The LNP attack both The Greens and Labor for being socialists. If you ran openly as a socialist you could just reply with “yes, and here’s all our great policies” instead of wasting time rebutting futile attacks.

And would you like see more workers ownership and control of major industries and public sectors in Australia?
