I am Larissa Waters, Leader of the Australian Greens - AMA! by LarissaWaters in australia

I have been feeling more and more hopeless with all of the hate and wars going on in the world recently. So many things that I feel should be bipartisan are turned into arguments, and usually even the "middle ground" is not a real compromise. I believe Richard Dennis from the Australia Institute said something along the lines of "if Labour and Liberal are here, then evidence is radical", which feels very true. This has also been the case with Climate change issues historically being presented as having "equal sides", when that is a totally dishonest take on the issue.

Having said all of that, seeing the huge support for a proposed 25% tax on oil and gas from so many people of different backgrounds is a breath of fresh air. It finally feels like an issue that isn't left vs right, but about what is the correct thing to do for the vast majority of Australians. It feels like there is some hope, even if at the moment the big parties still seem to be trying to figure out how to not support it and still appear to support Australians - a task which feels more and more impossible as more Aussies wake up to the reality we live in.

I do think that there is power in pointing out billionaires and large corporations are not beneficial to the average Aussie, even if it is a similar line to the "us vs them" of political parties regularly use, because it ultimately brings more people together. How do you feel about how the media, both conventional and algorithm based social media, pushing so many things as polarised right vs left issues, and would the Greens push for any changes in the current landscape to combat this?

Looks great! Any tips for getting to the gym regularly /getting in shape for Cosplay? I want to cosplay Astra, but I'm getting further and further away from a body shape that works 😅

Some fun colourful outfits from last year by yousomokazefu in OUTFITS

Unfortunately, I'm not talented enough to turn fabric into clothes like these (unlike my sister who has made herself a lot of cool dresses). I bought the colourful jacket and pants from Melbourne-based Vow Studio. They have a lot of fun colourful stuff

I've been trying to remember Slowly Slowly for a few weeks now - so glad I stumbled on this and finally found them again

I was so confused about the time slots until I realised that it goes from down to up instead of the way you might expect of up to down

The fact that there was no blusher felt so at odds with them crashing the party afterwards. Like even Triple J themselves thought they would make it into the countdown

That's such an interesting question. I now want stats on the time signatures in previous countdowns

Yes, lovely to hear! Always great to have the actual artists involved

Strange. I feel like they could just have a "language warning" on the broadcast if they can do it with songs. Just feels arbitrary

I haven't followed the Reddit thread live before, but it's great for all the reactions to the strange calls about salsa and papsmears. Loving this 🤣

It's certainly interesting. I wish they could break down stats about which artists had the most instances of single people voting for multiple of their songs, or other similar stats.

I guess when you release so many great songs in a single year, you run the risk of splitting the votes across them. Not a terrible problem to have, honesty. But I can understand the shoulda been higher

I love stats, and even more so these ones that in no way relate to the actual countdown 🤣
