Fast-forward 17 months and the Liberal Party and Greens both have new leaders and both have dispensed with their respective party's flirtation with being constructive.

Not only do both leaders appear to be doubling down on the respective strategies that took their parties to an electoral hiding in 2025, but they are now adding extra sauce to the mix.

    Isn't that a sign she's her own person and doesn't say what this or that mob prescribe? I've seen the 'centre' term used here, as I said by Bill Shorten. It is also used in Europe.

    yeah generally you want your reporters to not be biased.

    Unfortunately we're a full two generations into Internet Confirm My Bias, so when it doesn't happen people go all reddit
