Building Australia’s Future and Australia Back On Track are facile campaign slogans but there’s one that sums up the feeling in the electorate: Surely Australia Deserves Better.
Well, that's what happens when you pretend to be left while pandering to the right. Albanese's government has been a disappointment to both sides of the spectrum: neither here nor there, vacillating between "woke" and "true blue" but committing to none.
It was a wrong calculation that he had to move further right to secure his election. Conservatives don't vote left. All he managed to do was alienate his base with his foreign policy, but offered little if any compensation for it with his domestic one.
It's extremely disheartening to watch the australian political discourse devolve into chest beating on who is the genociders' most loyal lapdog.
Albanese will pay dearly for that. And sadly, so will the rest of us.
Correct 💯💯💯 This was always going to be the case , I suspect ever since the
NO vote was successful at the Referendum . The LNP believe they can count on the basest qualities of Australians to win back government. They’re not even bothering with policies . ( Except of course , the reintroduction of the Indue card to deprive every pensioner of their dignity and basic human rights. Scary times .)
Albanese will win because he is not Dutton. How he wins is what remains to be seen. The weak appeaser doesn’t deserve to win but Dutton and Trumpesque government is not to be borne. Hopefully, Albanese will have to govern in minority.
Albanese is offering growth, competence and a better way forwards.
Dutton is offering only relentless negativity and nothing worthwhile.

Great, a choice between Chernobyl Dutton and Strangelove Albanese.
