Lord Mayor spreading some blatant lies, alongside misleading FUD. Maybe I should take back my previous claim that the LNP wouldn't make a blatant provable lie. In an effort to portray the idea of a Labor/Greens alliance in Council as a terrible idea, he claims that there are Greens in cabinet in the federal Parliament.

He says this as part of making a point that Labor has been supportive of pokies in the past, while the Greens are against. If they were in a coalition, he claims, it would be shambles and the Greens would force the lease to not go ahead. This is, of course, simply not how democracy works. If there were a Labor/Greens coalition council after the next election, any issue where Labor and the LNP are in agreement and the Greens disagree (including, assuming the Lord Mayor's supposition about the Labor stance is correct, on pokies) would still be able to pass.
