Very slow count. Even @hineyrulz would have finished it by now...after he took off his shoes and socks to get past 10.

Larissa Waters is the new Greens leader.

I think she was their only appealing and sensible option. Hanson-Young is a bit loose, and has had some strange takes on things over the years.

Larissa has the difficult job of getting the Greens Senators (plus one MP) to stop being a stunt party bringing live salmon into parliament and wandering around with giant toothbrushes... and start again being a party that focuses primarily on the environment, to make sure Labor and/or the government of the day doesn't get squirrel-gripped away from the renewables future by the fossil fuel lobby.

She's a Merkin. I've had personal dealings with her and she is utterly horrible to anyone who farts more than a gram of CO2.

Very strong character though and probably what these irrelevant shit bags need at this point.

She wipes the floor with Bandt when it comes to leadership.

Shame she's horrible... sometimes I fart more that I breathe, so she'd hate me.

But she should keep the nutters reigned in, and refocus the Greens on what they need to stick to to be relevant.

That hyphenated housing spokesman guy was an annoying merkin, glad to see the back of him.

What’s the difference between Prune Juice and OJ?​

Prune Juice will give you the shits..... OJ will kill you and your boyfriend.

I agree with Trump.
John Mellencamp was underrated (Trump did not say this, just my opinion) and Springsteen way overrated.
The Born to Run album is certainly the most overrated album ever. Dreadful.

It makes me sick we have judges out there that let these cowards back out.

It's a downright disgrace. That this coward punch arsehole has been given bail.

It's truly is a kick in the guts here to the community in the Hills District that justice has failed the Griffin family and everyone here in the community.

I have been a fan of Chris Minns but he needs to sort the judicial system.

To think this grub is working at Taronga Zoo 6 days a week which is where families take there kids is dead set incredible.

Not listening to a Raaaay clip, but agree someone facing charges of up to 20 years along with the impact of the alleged action being death shouldn't be able to access bail easily.

But it takes a while for anyone to "fix up" a system like that - all Minns can really do immediately is have a look at the bail laws again, and how they apply in tehbooks to to this particular charge and tighten that.

There's 150 or something local magistrates, and the one who gave this guy bail is just one of them (name not disclosed in any articles I can see). It's kind of like John Wood in Rafferty's Rules if you're old enough to know that show... these local magistrates have a bit of free reign, but ultimately sit under/answer to three deputies and one chief magistrate.

They are appointed by the NSW Attorney-General, not the Premier, and the one local court judge concerned could have been appointed by the NSW government at any time in the last say 20 years or so...
