This is somewhat on topic:

We “destroyed” Greens: Megamillionaire disinformation group “Advance”

The group that ran the “No” campaign against the Indigenous Voice to parliament — funded by the Liberal Party and fossil fuels multi-millionaires — claims to have “destroyed” the Greens.

In an email titled “BREAKING: Greens destroyed by Advance blitz”, US-style disinformation group “Advance” has claimed its “critical work” had “helped stop the Greens in their tracks”.

“The Greens have been belted,” Advance executive director Matthew Sheahan writes in an email.

He states the group’s so-called “Greens Truth” campaign “cut them (Greens) down from six seats to at most two. Maybe one” ...

To be fair, it was only a correction to the hubris of the libs from the last election.

They ran on the slogan put Labor last, which they did on their preference flows. What they never accounted for, was the greens would get a much higher primary vote in a lot of these inner city seats.

It appears after the last election and the Greens sweeping 6 seats they realised that this was not the best for their billionaire donors and preferenced Labor ahead of the Greens this time around.

Is their 10 donors from when they were going after the No vote. Probably same handfuls of pieces of shit supporting Sheahan/Advance today. Very least we should be informing people to boycott places like Kennards Storage or Trisco Food.

Pure ego saving bullshit. Notice how they avoid the big red elephant in the ballot box....
