If the concern is that it won’t have a significant impact before the next election, I don’t think we should lay all the blame on the Greens.

Nah, certainly not. I think Albanese’s biggest failure, so far, was not having the next part of this parliaments story ready to go as soon as the referendum was over.

Within a few weeks of that he needed to define the next couple years on cost of living, in particular housing, and just lay into the opposition over these last two years for their decisions turning Australian housing into the safest and easiest investment available.

The way they’ve brushed off Keating’s opinions on AUKUS means they could have been doing the same for his part in deregulating the banks, which indirectly contributed to the issue with the Liberals suite of other policy decisions as well.

Albanese had the chance to be bold, but it seems history is going to view his first term as being bold on a referendum then losing his nerve to come back and try again.

The Murdoch media will screech…

Yep
