How does the Labor-Greens Alliance Work? With Chief Minister Andrew Barr | AUSPOL EXPLAINED

[@tim_m22]

Thank you for doing a piece about our little territory ❤

[@fredfredrickson8892]

It would be good to get the greens leader on to talk about the coalition government.

[@irasponsibly]

I appreciate this one, really informative to learn how it works in the background here!

[@bradysmith2974]

Great video, as usual!

[@imstuff7862]

A very insightful interview!

[@debayumukherjee7057]

Really well done

[@AlexBaz143]

Oooft can’t wait for this topic

[@Watching58]

Thanks for this interview. Could you do similar interview for Tassie too?😊

[@Slackboy72]

In Canberra we just learned how to NEGOTIATE and COMPROMISE. Take note Tasmanians.

[@denisemurphy3915]

Don't count your chickens ... the Greens will screw you over, and then eat all your chooks.

[@jeremyhvevolegal]

Tasmanian here. Get half an hour out of the city and not a single person can stand the greens. they are horrible for even remotely regional communities.

[@denbyianangus]

Rational political collaboration requires a sophisticated multi member electoral system, informed voters and lots of goodwill. Politics can be done differently.

[@danielcampbell7195]

May work in the ACT, but the differences are much bigger in other jurisdictions. Federally, in WA, in Queensland would never work.

[@justinun01]

The ACT is the only place in Australia where a labor greens coalition can actually work. Anywhere else it would be voted out within a term.

[@denbyianangus]

The multi member electorates are the key to encouraging collaboration: members need the preferences of other parties to get elected much more so than in single member electorates.

[@coasterblocks3420]

I disagree. The Labor people and supporters I know are fed up with Labor constantly attacking the Greens rather than focusing their energy on the real enemy of good, the Coalition.

[@PandaKnight52]

​@@coasterblocks3420 Labor people are not fed up with Attacking Greens, they are obstructionist anti worker party masquerading as progressive party. But they don't ever want anything done unless they have full control.

[@SormonAusPol]

Now here is where I wonder if @AuspolExplained watches my videos and got the idea to interview Andrew Barr from me.

[@AuspolExplained]

I got the idea after interviewing Laura Nuttall and wondering how disagreements between Greens and Labor get resolved given the mixed duties and policies between the parties, sorry.

[@SormonAusPol]

@@AuspolExplained LOL, just suspicious timing with my interview only being 2 weeks earlier. Also filmed in the same place.

[@AuspolExplained]

It is pretty coincidental timing I'll give you that

[@--Nath--]

This seems like it works, no where else does Labor give two shits about public services if there is neoliberalism that they can pursue instead.

[@coopsnz1]

australia not neoliberalism there more than 125 taxes robbing the private sector

[@PandaKnight52]

That's a flat out lie. Labor never pursued a full neo liberal agenda, everything was done to the prevailing economic theory of the day with the key focus being on workers, i.e the safety net, super, Medicare, etc.

[@--Nath--]

"Greens party" or "Greens political party" - still can't just go with "Greens" (which is their actual name!).. You'd think Labor in the ACT would have bothered to get this right by now FFS.

[@johnhamilton6003]

In ACT even the greens refer to themselves as the greens so your point is invalid

[@--Nath--]

@@johnhamilton6003 you misread. The greens are indeed "the greens". What I am talking about is how Labor insist on adding "political party" when it isnt their official name. Like calling Labor the Labor Political Party.. It's ALP's version of misnaming them for the sake of it. They seem to be confusing the UK's Greens equivalent naming at times.

[@PandaKnight52]

They are a political party, it's a descriptor

[@liphrium9858]

they both support increased housing prices by doing very little to change the broken system. nationalise the housing system

[@quinnstanley5930]

"Establish a *publicly owned developer and builder* which will build & buy 10,000 public homes over ten years and end homelessness in the ACT" - ACT Greens housing policy.

[@PandaKnight52]

Have you joined the ALP to argue this policy position? They party reflects its members so if you don't get involved then it won't do what you want.

[@coasterblocks3420]

I wish Labor wasn’t so antagonistic towards the Greens federally and in Queensland. Labor tends to forget the enemy is to the right, not the left.

[@chevrolet-poitiers9507]

The enemy’s on both sides.

[@TwoLeftFeetA-ui1zk]

The Greens forget which side they should be supporting, particularly federally.

[@PandaKnight52]

Greens are obstructionist wanting things their way and not any other way. They are the enemy of the workers who rely on Labor being in power to get things done for them.

[@tripledigit4835]

@@TwoLeftFeetA-ui1zkhow absurd. They represent the progressive metropolitan demographic. Why would they capitulate on their values and beliefs essentially betraying their support base and gain nothing in return?

[@--Nath--]

Disagreement on whipping horses for gambling? Yeah, we know Labor is corrupt AF by this grubby issue. NSW is same.

[@PandaKnight52]

Is that really an issue that's important? I don't think so.

[@coopsnz1]

taxes up 20% under labor ! 15% more taxes on a truck ' council rates up 5% '& alchoal excise 10% more

[@AuspolExplained]

It's been a while, Ben! Good to see you're here to boost engagement. You've been the most consistently vocal supporter of my videos since the beginning and I was wondering why I hadn't heard from you for several videos. Glad to know you're still subscribed.
