When Adam Bandt himself admits that One Nation’s preference strategy brought him undone in his own seat, you know we’ve struck a nerve. It wasn’t Labor. It wasn’t the Liberals. It was One Nation that did the heavy lifting and finished the most toxic of all parliamentary leaders off. We made it clear to voters where Bandt stood: far-left extremism dressed up as inner-city chic. Once people saw that, the campaign became about exposing his ideology and reminding Australians that extremism has no place in Parliament. We targeted it, and we ended it.

Now Larissa Waters is proving to be our best advocate, whether she wants to or not. Every time she opens her mouth, she shows Australians just how vacuous the Greens have become. She is dragged further left each day by her own radical MPs, pushed toward policies that are extreme, unworkable, and hostile to mainstream Australians. One Nation did most of the job by removing Bandt from the field; Waters is now obligingly finishing the job for us. We would like to take full credit for the Greens’ collapse, but in truth, they are tearing themselves apart. Still, it’s undeniable that our head-on fight against their rancid economic policies has accelerated their slide.

The ultimate problem for the Greens is leadership. Larissa Waters brings no personality, no vision, and no ticker. She is no different from Sussan Ley, just a plain wallflower. Waters has the personality of a dung beetle and the ambition of a French bureaucrat: dull and entirely forgettable. She offers no boldness, no clarity, no fight, just kowtowing to an angry green mob with purple bobs.

The Greens are now in the same trap as the Liberals: trying to hold together a broad patchwork of factions without having the faintest idea what they stand for. Neither Waters nor Ley have offered a clear agenda. They waste their time building “internal consensus,” but no one, inside their parties or in the electorate, has the slightest clue what that consensus is building towards.

Contrast that with Labor. Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese wasted no time spelling out their agenda: a hard-left economic program of tax, spend, and control. Wrong-headed, yes, but at least crystal clear. Australians know exactly what Labor wants. With the Liberals and Greens, voters are left scratching their heads. Labor wants to reconstruct Australia by destroying everything we are, and they are unashamed about it.

For the Greens, the split is tearing them apart. Should they embrace their inner socialist antisemitism and spit venom at Israel and the Australian Jewish community? Or take the “moderate” option and outsource foreign policy to Greta’s flotilla? Should they go hard on rent caps that would destroy the housing market and send rents skyrocketing? Or should they appease their so-called “Tree Tories” and talk up private investment in rentals? No one knows because Waters can’t say.

What are Larissa Waters’ views on any of these policies? Australians don’t know, and that’s the problem. She is neither articulate nor capable. She cannot sell a vision because she doesn’t have one. And the polls are showing it.

One Nation is proud to have played a decisive role in taking down Adam Bandt. That was the beginning. Now Waters is doing the rest of the work for us. She is proving every day why the Greens are finished: a hollow shell of extremism, led by a nobody, going nowhere, offering nothing to ordinary Australians.
