1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: This has been the battle, of course, of the psychobabbyl 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: and the cliches. Parliament returned yesterday. As I mentioned Darling 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Tana political disgrace, reprobate. She was back to do the 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: mahi whatever that means. She's not in the party, she 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: doesn't have an electorate. Who she doing the marhi for? 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: Chloe Swarbrick announced she was incredibly frustrated, not just frustrated, 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: but incredibly frustrated. So what she going to do? My 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: suspicion is nothing. I hope I'm wrong. I wish I 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: was wrong. I wish these people were better, a better 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: selection of operators than they are. The ball, though, is 11 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: in the Greens court. They are the adults, the employers, 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: if you will. They are the ones who selected Tana. 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: They are the ones who made a mistake. They are 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: the ones who called for the report. They are the 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: ones who found her guilty of at the very least 16 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: being fraudulent and what she said she was and what 17 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: the report outlined she really was. So it is their 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: job to fix. For no other reason than I believe 19 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: Chloe when she says she wants to take the Greens 20 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: to a new place. You are either naive to beat 21 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: the band all genuine when you tell the world when 22 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: you arrive as a new leader that you believe you 23 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: can take the Greens and outshine the Labor Party for 24 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: the vote on the left. If you mean it, you've 25 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: got to act like it. To this point, she hasn't. 26 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: She isn't telling us how frustrated you are. Is childlike, 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: it's petulant, it's baby politics, it's word sell. It's as 28 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: I suggested last week, my suspicion is Tan is wanting 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: us to get bored and move on. That way, she 30 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: can vanish into the library for a couple of years, 31 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: collecting your wage for doing nothing, and Chloe hopes we 32 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: get bored as well, because accountability doesn't appear to be 33 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: a strong suit so far, my suspicion is sadly proving 34 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: to be fairly accurate. None of this serves us well, 35 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: whether you've ever voted for the Greens or not. My 36 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: expectation is that the country is led by professionals, professionals 37 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: driven by high standards. In this case, less professional, more fat. 38 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast listen live to 39 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: news talks.
