It’s sad, to see.
Feels like Albo lost all political courage and has been too scared to promote a positive vision for the country.
Unwilling to do more than hold onto the working family dad persona.
Could increase aid and resources for Ukraine, actually take a strong attitude to Trump tariff bs by putting tariffs on Tesla, pulling back from AUKUS or strong-arm via pine gap.
But why do anything that could improve the spineless image.
Last time Labor fucked up governing this hard we lost fttp NBN.

They act the way they do because they get attacked if they don’t. They don’t want to upset the mining lobby, property developers, Murdoch press who will fund huge campaigns against them. Musk runs twitter which has influence and can slip people like Joe Rogan money to tell his listeners that Labor is attacking their rights or some bullshit. Pissing of Trump isnt smart as his executive power is unchecked and he can impose petty revenge tariffs that hurt our economy and workers.
Don’t think the ALP are timid because they are weak or unimaginative. They tread a fine line between being tolerated by powerful elites who can toss them out and implementing an agenda that benefits all Australians.
