What the fuck is going on here, Jesus Christ. Can’t we just get some normal policy and politicians for a while.
I don’t think I like Albo anymore.
Up until the last election we had a 2 party system. Yes minor parties had influence but government swung between the ALP and LNP.
Now it seems as though, rather than using his majority and mandate for progressive change, Albo has decided to consume the liberal vote by adopting some right leaning behaviors. Inviting that Israeli asshole was a scumbag move. This kind of thing is more of the same.

What I’ve never understood is, don’t they realise those people will never vote for them? The libs will always be the party of the right, it doesn’t matter what labor does or says.
Nah, there’s plenty of liberal voters who will vote for the ALP.
There’s plenty more liberal voters who will not, and will vote for the nationals or PHON, but there’s enough centrists who will vote for the ALP to make this strategy worth while.
That’s what I thought Albo’s strategy was. Make the opposition irrelevent and snatch their voters. He doesn’t seem to make any decisions based on principles. He was campaigning on raising centrelink payments to a dignified level prior to his first term. That never happened.
So there was a whole referendum and campaign to stop indigenous peoples from having this, but I guess if it’s white christian lobbyists with money they can just do it then.
No but you don’t understand… the Indigineous people would have used a special voice to parliament to gain unfair benefits over everyone else and push their own agendas. Religious leaders are completely apolitical and no agenda.
Do I really need to add the /s?
Just in case: /S
Get fucked … as if we need more religious bullshit in politics.
The religious and the wealthy really do constantly fuck things up, and on a global scale no less.
Can’t just have politicians making decisions for the betterment of humanity, why has it always got to be some scammer trying to weasel their way into power because nobody would vote for the pathetic fuckers.
Why not give the Christian nationalists more power? What could go wrong?
JFC, either be right-wing or left-wing. Don’t they realize if they try and go halfsies they alienate the left and never get the right because those fanatics are voting for their Make Australia Great Again party no matter how "both sides"Labour tries to get? Is this incompetence or intentional sabotage?
Looks like intentional sabotage.
The whole upper rung of Labor needs a cleanout, but particularly ‘Wishy-Washy’ Albanese and ‘Gravely Concerned’ Wong.
Yes, they want to avoid looking ‘unstable’ by having leadership challenges, but we’re at a stage where PHON is actually seeing a rise in popularity because of Labor’s enshittification (and because the LNP are shit, but that’s almost traditional)! Labor is actually at risk of losing the next federal election to the dregs of Morrison’s party, and/or the bigoted halfwit who’s accomplished nothing during all her time in politics but division!
Somebody please challenge Albanese for the leadership!
And while I’m having a rant, a conscience vote for Labor MPs would be nice, too!
I agree with your views on the labor party, but I can’t see the opposition being elected. There are so many people who still support labor. Everything they do is just image management (and not particular well, given the Herzog invitation). But lots of people still think they are supportive of affordable housing. They propose the HAFF, then the housing minister a couple of years later says she doesn’t want house prices to go down. Your view of the party will depend on which media you’ve been exposed to. In 2022 albo said rent caps were “pixie dust”. I don’t think this statement will age very well, but that horse has bolted.
