Frustration with Greens poses fresh Labor leadership strains

Mr Graham also branded the Greens hypocrites for complaining about Labor’s move, highlighting comments by the NSW Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham.

In a tweet, Mr Buckingham said the party’s decision not to preference Labor or the Coalition before last year’s state election ”cost them [Labor] a dozen plus seats”.

Mr Graham said the decision almost got former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson elected.

”The Greens are demanding Labor preferences but boasting about helping Barry O’Farrell at the last election,” he said.

Mr Buckingham responded: ”The Brainiacs from the NSW Labor Right, who delivered the worst election defeat in their history, need to recognise that abandoning progressive policies and preferencing the likes of Family First, Fred Nile and Tony Abbott ahead of the Greens, will only speed up Labor’s demise.”
