Corflutes and HTVs are used widely by all parties, not just the Greens. But the Greens are the target of your critique because someone allegedly hurt your feelings? (Both materials are 100% recyclable, by the way.)
I'm more concerned about the dozens of new coal and gas project approvals under Labor. Billions of tonnes of pollution is a bit more impactful that a few thousand printed pamphlets and signs, that everyone else is doing anyway.
Guarantee your outburst was completely pointless and quickly forgotten.
My feelings are not hurt, my tolerance for hypocrisy is what being tested.
Don’t get me wrong, the Greens are currently the only way out of the Fossil-Fuel-Funded Two Party system we are currently in, but do they really need to do the exact opposite of what they are campaigning for?
Things that are 100% recyclable are not always (actually hardly ever) recycled at all, let alone to 100%. They should be using biodegradable, renewable materials, or even better, don’t publish them in the first place. The absence Greens Junk Mail would be a better message to send their constituents than continuing to status quo.
