Jonno's political musings

I'm a 36-year-old writer, musician and community worker who served as Brisbane's first ever Greens city councillor from 2016 until 2023, after which I ran for Mayor of Brisbane in the March 2024 local government elections. I write regularly at www.jonathansri.com about Queensland politics, green municipalism, anti-colonial anarchism and whatever else takes my fancy. Occasionally I record audio versions of some of those articles, or discussions with interesting people, which I'll share on this platform.

  Radical Suburbs Online Forum: Reflections on growing Greens support in culturally diverse outer-metropolitan areas

  May 21, 20251h 23mS0

  <p>On Tuesday, 20 May, in the wake of the 2025 federal election, I facilitated an open discussion with recent federal Greens candidates Huong Truong and Remah Naji, and Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi.</p><p>While the 3 May federal election was generally quite disappointing for the Greens, several outer-suburban areas of Australia's major cities saw significant swings towards the Greens. These positive swings appear to correlate with neighbourhoods that have higher degrees of cultural diversity, but there could be other explanatory factors at play too.</p><p>In Remah Naji's southern Brisbane electorate of Moreton, more affluent neighbourhoods appear to have swung...

  Jan 15, 202547 minS0

  <p>This is an audio narration of my December 2024 opinion piece evaluating the effectiveness of the Australian Greens' current strategic approach, and exploring the case for a deeper transformation of how the party operates and orients politically, including its messaging, its broad vision and its parliamentary strategy.</p> <p>With the 2025 federal election on the horizon, where the Greens may well win balance of power in both houses of parliament, and mixed results in recent state and territory elections, this is an important time to reflect on how the Greens have been going lately, and what changes will be necessary...

  Nov 2, 202423 minS0

  <p>This is an audio narration of one of the opinion pieces I wrote after Queensland's October 2024 state election campaign. It explores the role of the police and the media in spreading narratives about 'youth crime' being 'out of control' in the lead-up to the election, as well as mistakes made by both the Greens and the Labor party in how they responded to the Liberal National Party's fear campaign.</p> <p>You can read the article at jonathansri.com/youthcrimenarratives and you can also find several other recent articles about Queensland politics at www.jonathansri.com</p>

  Apr 9, 202440 minS1

  <p>The results have now been finalised for the 2024 Brisbane City Council election. After running on our boldest campaign platform yet - with plans to freeze rents, crack down on land-banking, make public transport free and frequent, ban council-owned pokies, replace houseracing tracks with public housing and more - The Greens have gained huge swings in both the mayoralty and citywide vote. While The Greens vote is clearly still on the rise, the conservatives have maintained their stronghold on this city for yet another term.<br>In this episode, Jonno sits down with social media volunteer, Sam, to debrief our...
