Just The Greens doing Greens things and completely bottling their new direction pitch under Shoebridge. I guess they still have a bit of time before the next election to build, but it’s probably fair to say anyone who wasn’t already a Greens voter has already checked out again. They are unfairly held to a higher standard by the media and the public, but they should know this by now.
It’s hard to know much flak is deserved here without knowing what the allegations are, or anything more than vague hints about whether they have substance.
At this point in time it should be more “watch this space” rather than “how could he do something like that!?”
