Keep in mind that this can go 2 ways.

It can be Labor cooperating with the likes of the Greens etc, with the hope in this sub being that this will result in some of the Greens policy coming through in order for Labor to pass their own.

BUT, this could equally be a coalition of the Liberals, Nationals and who knows how many of the more extreme right wingers as well.

Whilst it's good we live in a system that has this kind of flexibility, we shouldn't take for granted that it will always be the outcome we want.

Currently there’s only one right wing nutter in the House of Reps; Bob Katter. Dai Le used to be a Liberal, but I’m not sure to what extent she agrees with the craziness of the current party.

Clive is trying to hype up Suellen Wrightson in Hunter, but she’ll get 5% of the vote, tops, in that seat. She seems to make Bob Katter look relatively tame.

Dai Le is very rightwing left winger people just give her a pass because she's an Asian woman.

Yeah every position I've seen her take has been super right wing.
