I correctly predicted in an earlier thread about this that the Greens would scrap Light Rail Stage 2B, and it was met by a deep minus score. Now that the Greens have admitted that Light Rail will be scrapped, will all those people apologise to me?
The radical Greens are the biggest threat to building generational infrastructure in Australia. From trying to tear down the Tasmania stadium project to opposing Perth Park to opposing crucial housing developments in Sydney and Melbourne to calling for the entire Brisbane Olympics to be cancelled and now wanting to scrap  Stage 2B of Canberra’s Light Rail.

The damage is done now anyway to some extent by having the talks (which, to be fair, they should always be open to in principle), at this point I’m starting to feel like they might as well go ahead with it and try to get some stuff done before they inevitably get massacred in 2028… though I guess having talks and actually forming government are two very different things
It’ll probably be a disaster but if it’s a Greens-led government at least for a significant period and they have a clear agreement on what policies they’ll pursue with the Greens having the option of passing legislation with Labor otherwise. But otherwise it looks like a very dumb move and either way if it goes ahead it could very well take twenty years to recover

Anyone have a quick explanation of why these two are talking? The article left out some context. Did Labour lose a by-election or something?

The ACT libs are known for extremism, and erratic behaviour.
This should be surprising, but not out of character.
