    Not surprising, though I’m still trying to pinpoint how long ago it was that Labor turned into the Liberal party…

      It dates back at least to the 1980s, when the Hawke government convinced the ACTU to suppress workers’ rights to negotiate better wages and working conditions.

      You want Albanese to single-handedly abolish global capitalism, against the will of the Australian electorate? I think, as far as capitalism goes, small business is on the less unethical side.

      Albanese is an adult, he needs to deliver the best outcomes he can from within the system we’re given, not refuse to engage in the hopes that it would somehow fix things.

      In the '80s when Hawke bought neoliberalism to our shores.

      The government being the biggest job creator is not a good sign for the economy at large

      Ai Group analysis of today’s employment data shows that of the 484,000 new jobs created in 2024, only 99,000 were in the private market sector. 80% of job creation was in either the public sector or non-market sectors, both of which depend on government-funding for employment generation.

        How do you come to that judgement?

        What do you count as “the economy at large”? How have you determined what’s good for that?

        What connection does your definition of “the economy at large” have to do with life as lived by most people in that economy? If the connection is indirect, how do we determine whether “good for the economy at large” is good for the people in that economy?

    If anything, we need to shorten the leash.
