I hope Labor are driven into minority government, they are the pits.

In an agreement signed between @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social and the Australian Submarine Agency in November 2023 an environmental assessment will be carried WITHOUT considering nuclear activities, a $2B shipyard will be built, and then nuclear approvals will be sought. 2/2 #CartBeforeHorse

It's just all too hard for today's Labor.

There is now near-zero chance Labor retains its majority. The risk is that the Duddon* wins outright.

(The mean absolute error of the consensus 2PP polling trend vs the outcome at the last 5 elections is 1.1%, not now enough to get Labor to majority, should it go its way. Polling could still shift through the campaign, but that usually goes against Labor. It has at the last 5 elections.)

Yes, a risk that naive voters want to 'teach Albo/Labs a lesson' & vote Lib instead. An own goal w/ severe consequences.

Educate voters to see that ALP or LNP is not the only choice of govt. Their preferences are powerful & collectively can bring a far more representative, rigorous minority govt.

I’m so optimistic we’ll get minority gov - I think Australia is ready for minor groups to push real policies

The last time we had a minority government, under Julia Gillard, the government passed the highest rate of bills into law compared to any government in Australian history.

Yes and I think enough bad shit has happened that it will be welcomed this time

We need some fresh eyes on how to move this country into the future. Liberal and Liberal-light want to keep us in the past.

I want a minority government too, but it will be uphill battle to get it, fighting against misinformation by Murdoch and Gina and the usual voter apathy. If a minority is looking likely, preferential voting will be targeted hard (wasting your vote crap, etc)

And the LNP are ?

Labor needs to stop fighting the Greens & Independents & to start to collaborate & bring them into Cabinet portfolios. Amidst the social & earth friendly policies of the Greens & diversity of Independents you will hear the voice of the younger generations.

If Labor embraced environmentalism and policy integrity (they’d need to purge themselves of fossil carbon funded corruption first) they’d crush the LNP into the dust forever. Would require media antitrust reforms and de Murdochtrification of the ABC first but.

I hope we have a double dissolution election & I hope Labor gain the numbers in both Houses of Parliament so they can Govern effectively.

Most of the issues you & many others have with Labor is to do with good legislation being watered down so as to pass the Senate's scrutiny. It's a numbers game.

lazjen.bsky.social•4 days ago

They won't. And the problem with the watered down legislation is they stupidly negotiate with the LNP. The worst things get through where they capitulate to them. So damn dumb. And because of that, we're probably going to get Doltish Dutton instead.

agpat.bsky.social•4 days ago

It does appear that way at present. I agree. They are completely captured by the Zionist lobby and that's a battle they cannot win with aligned conservative values and a space already filled by Corporate MSM, billionaires and LNP/IPA apparatchicks.

Labors capitulation has created a vacuum.

Riiiiight.
So build it, then get approval?

Like my mate's shed (that he had to have pulled down)
