7am · Have the Greens lost their appetite for a fight? · 6 Sep 2026 podcast

Yeah, we've just been through the hottest winter here in Victoria on record. voice-verified

So, you know, it's not like it's not an issue. voice-verified

When Larissa Waters took leadership, she promised a different style, less shoutiness, more constructive politics. voice-verified

But Richard, one could argue that politics has never been shoutier. voice-verified

Do you think that type of leadership is right for this moment? voice-verified

Of course, the Greens had a very bruising 2025 federal election. voice-verified

When it comes to what went wrong, do you think voters thought the Greens were too obstructive or that despite people like Max Chandler-Maver being loud and combative, the party still looked too much like part of the political establishment? voice-verified

Coming up, have the Greens lost their appetite for a fight? voice-verified

Richard, you argue that the bigger problem is what the Greens are doing with the power they actually have, that they've become too satisfied with simply tinkering with Labor's agenda. voice-verified

What are some of the clearest examples of that approach? voice-verified

So this is Labor's new native forest carbon credit scheme, which the Senate will vote on next week. voice-verified

Can you just explain a bit more about how this scheme actually works? voice-verified

Isn't the political wedge for the Greens, though, if they vote this scheme down, doesn't Labor get to say they voted against protecting native forests and thousands of koalas? voice-verified

Wouldn't that play well in our dailies and in social media? voice-verified

And wouldn't that be a bad outcome for the Greens politically? voice-verified

And finally, Richard, zooming out from all of this, does this show that the Greens are moving to the right or their policies basically have been where they've always been, but it's their strategy for pursuing them that's become more conservative? voice-verified

Richard, thank you for your time. voice-verified

Also in the news, social media users will be given a choice to opt out of their algorithm under draft laws expected to be unveiled by the federal government this week. voice-verified

Regular pop-up messages will be required, asking users if they want to stick with the algorithm or see only content from people they're following. voice-verified

The laws will also place the onus on social media companies to identify and mitigate risks on their platforms, including the sharing of harmful content. voice-verified
