In the historic shift to the left at the last election
It wasn’t a shift to the left. The Coalition abandoned the centre, allowing Labor to win by default as the only centrist major party.
the greens didn’t gain much and lost a bunch of seats
The nationwide first preference vote swing against The Greens was -0.05%. This idea that they suffered from some massive voter backlash for being “too woke” is a total myth.

Oh is that what it was? In France and Germany voters are swinging to the right hard and there’s good reasons to do so here as well (see: queensland most recent election) but no, instead it’s just Labor winning by default, good to see green cope in full force
The nationwide first preference vote swing against The Greens was -0.05%.
Yes as I said, a full swing to the left and the greens LOST votes, that’s incredible, I would hardly expect them to increase their votes in droves if there was a swing to the right and the liberal party won
This idea that they suffered from some massive voter backlash for being “too woke” is a total myth.
They lost their leader, they lost all the seats in brisbane greenslide, they have stalled politically and they’re very lucky they’re one of the few recognisable left wing parties in the senate, I’m still waiting to see the teals expand out, could be eating the greens for lunch next time
