Green Party Wants ACC to Be WOKE and BROKE

Don’t you just love those fresh-faced baby politicians with their progressive ‘woke’ ideas? There we were, thinking that investments should be based on what makes the most money, but then they come along to educate us that profit is not as important as being seen to be setting
