MODERATORS
I'll admit that this is beyond my understanding of Australian politics (and I am an Australian) but what is the point of the Greens proposing a specific bill-style policy like this? As in, they're never going to form government so this type of policy is a bit like proposing to put cocacola in the water fountains?
I guess there's a small chance they could get support for something like this if they have the balance of power but it just seems very unlikely.
I suppose they can't just say "we'll do what labor does".
I'm with you on level of understanding, but I think The Greens still need to act like they've got a chance at majority government one day. They need to have an "If we were in charge" rhetoric to show they mean business. The "Legalise pot" party will never reach majority, they're basically a single issue party. The Greens are also for legalising pot but it's only part of The Greens platform.
