He was elected promising a new style off government, but his difficulty in countering Peter Dutton’s right-wing populism has left Albanese floundering.
There is a growing tide of discontent as an entire generation foots the damage and bills of their predecessors. Until Labor finds a backbone and makes real, sweeping reforms in places where it actually matters to the majority of Australian families (complete tax overhaul, for one. Proper housing reform for another), they will continue to flounder. They had the opportunity to make large reforms, picked the wrong one to start with (voice), bungled it, and are now frozen with fright.
The tragedy is that even if they get another go at it, I have little faith that the current cabinet will change their mediocre, middle-of-the-road strategy of minimal impact. As Whitlam rightfully said, Labor is the party of reform and as soon as they stop being that, they are dead in the water.
I can’t even imagine how much damage will be done by sweeping reforms from party which so disconnected from reality so it pushed “The Voice”. Both labor and liberal are leaving in their universes and no not care much about general population. We should stop voting for both of them, pick a small party of your choice and put it first, it is how democracy works.
