Yeah okay, i knew someone would call me out on that. I wrote that off the top of my head, cost of living and housing are definitely not in that list of big moves. I’d argue there are only incremental changes that can be made in those areas.
Did the writer even mention those herself? Seems like an oversight for the opinion piece. Because are the Coalition really driving the narrative on housing and cost of living? No, they’ve been absent since the election. I suppose my problem is the writer’s narrative feels a bit shoehorned.
there’s a lot of it going on, and once you’re aware of it it’s insulting how transparent it really is. I’m guessing they’re trying to wedge on the vic elections again.
You actually provided a good list of some of the positives Labor has provided, and i also wish more people paid attention to them.
Also, it occurred to me later that some of your points could well contribute to easing cost of living/housing. Some are more indirect than others, and some would be some years off in the future.
There’s no silver bullet, you need a hail of pellets
Yeah, i’ve definitely got more time for the build up over time arguments. Most electorates it seems don’t, but i hope theres enough goodwill and prosperity left in the Australian electorate to allow for solid, well made change to occur.

Yeah, sorry. My comment did come across as pissy.
