Denis Altman on Inside Story February 2014: ‘Labor’s combative relationship with the Greens reflects its failure to develop a genuine counter-narrative to the Coalition worldview, argues Dennis Altman in Inside Story, February 2014. This is more likely to happen if there is a dialogue between Labor and the Greens that acknowledges that neither has a monopoly of political virtue and that there may be more common ground than either wishes to acknowledge in the bitter aftermath of the end of their agreement and the decline of votes for both parties. The alternative is to cede the command posts of our political culture to a newly invigorated and hungry right.’
