Two majors that refuse to work for us and whose people are out of touch with or cruelly inclined towards lower and middle class Australia.
Cynically using a well overdue change in tax concessions to cover some of the cruellest stuff a Labor party has ever produced.
Giving away our money to developers for infrastructure they’re already on the hook for, with a policy stolen from the worst state government we have, down to the slogan.
Inability to tax resources adequately and refusal to do so when the public asks.
Poor policy, budgets that are cruel towards our most disadvantaged and needy, support for a genocidal state, cruelty downwards, cowardice upwards. So much so, their MPs are spewing in a rubbish bin after the NDIS caucus decision. Policy after political position people don’t want, don’t understand why, don’t agree with.
Beating up protestors. Royal commissions into antisemitism but no fucking media relations RC. State Labor beating up protestors.
Add a media scene Labor fails to confront with decent legislation, whiny, pissweak PR people astroturfing everything, edging a stupid public toward either mediocrity in policy, attacks on reps and voters wanting better, or extreme right views and here we are, Labor.
We blame Labor here, because it is supposed to be the progressive party. We expect better than just wage rises which is their point or health fixes which are expected from this party, but even those are inadequate and have to be fought tooth and nail for.
If Labor want us to view them as the progressive party, we expect better all round.
There’s no excuses either, with 94 seats, a friendly senate to progressive policy and two terms. Labor are proving to be as big a threat to the nations well-being in some ways as the conservatives.
That’s Labor’s problem.
