If it has some subversive stitching on it.

Labor is scared. This delightful situation has seen them actually say & do some good things for once! Not at a party policy level, of course, they’re afraid on a national scale too but their fear there is a fear of the right-wing political parody known as Abbott. That fear has seen them bowling over refugees, homosexuals, Indigenous fellas & anyone who doesn’t have a big chunk of advertising dosh behind them, in their desperate race to the Right. I really think they should all be a bit careful. Abbott is probably a creationist who still believes the world is flat & he & Gillard will soon have dragged the Liberal/Labor mash-up perilously close to that world’s furthest right edge.
.
In the seat of Melbourne, however, Labor’s fear has manifested itself in a much more agreeable manner. That is because in Melbourne they are afraid not of the Libs, but of the Greens. In Melbourne the Greens, headed by Adam Bandt, need just a 4.7% swing to secure the seat. Labor has responded to this threat by placing at their helm Cath Bowtell, a woman who has publicly stated her personal support for gay marriage & other anti-archaic policies.
.
Labor is an unmoored ship, floating whichever way the political winds blow. Jumping onboard the Labor ship could send us anywhere but by voting Greens we’ll at least be directing the currents on which they sail in a positive way &, in some electorates such as Melbourne, we may even be able to commandeer the ship with real leadership.
.
So. Vote Green. Suggest your friends vote Green. & Stitch your Green heart on your sleeve & any other available surface to encourage others to do the same.

We’ll be carrying around bundles of green wool to stitch hearts on fences, bins, shopping trolleys, whatever until the election is held. Join us.
