Greens leader Adam Bandt – forgetting that the ACT is 2300 square km surrounded by reality – believes the party’s result in the territory’s election is a pointer to success across the rest of the country.
The Greens won five seats at the weekend and look set to form a coalition government with Labor.
But the ACT result means nothing in terms of the rest of the country because, like the Greens, the ACT is so unlike the rest of the country.
The Greens getting votes in the ACT is like the Pope getting votes at Sunday mass in the Vatican.
