Sticking to principles is the opposite of flip plop. I agree, they are not pragmatic, though. However, no other party with a chance at a seat was anti genocide. If they did the same or better, the argument could be made that aussies care. They did worse nationally. Aussies don’t care.
Yet, the greens received less votes and were the only party with an anti genocide agenda. Like America, Australia was uncaring at best.
The country gets the representation it voted for.
The greens are a flip flop party who will knock down a decent solution because it’s not perfect.
That’s what the Australians I know think of them.

Yes but governments can’t make massive changes in legislation easily and small incremental changes over time can achieve the same results.
Like they say, don’t let perfection be the enemy of good
Yes, I agree, but they were still the only party that were opposed to genocide and nobody cared enough to vote for them.
So whatever your views of the greens, the voters view of genocide was that it wasn’t important.
