Its a short critiscism,

While I haven’t always agreed 100% with his approach (either on policy priorities or on how elected Greens reps should wield power)

He didn’t say it would have been a pyrrhic victory, reading back this morning i should have made the distinction that, thats my summation of that grand housing bill stand off between Labor and Greens in that term.


Totally agree that One Nation’s rise in popularity is what Sriringnathan is basing his thoughts on, and this is analogous, and likely directly linked through the new ‘international’ CPAC, to the rise in popularity of the UK’s Reform Party.

But, Sriringnathan has neglected to compare the Labour Party of the UK and the Labor party of Australia, they’re in very different spots. UK Labour and Keir Starmer are deep underwater on polling, whereas Aus Labor has had a minor swing against it, and Albanese’s approval ratings have been damaged only recently in regards the Bondi massacre. They’re not in the same position and there isn’t enough of a movement for deep change in Aus like there is in the UK.
