  I think this is really insightful analysis, great post. I often wonder why some of you key points around the headwinds that Labor faces (and progressive politics in general) don’t really get much of an airing.

  It’s so obvious that LNP’s messages get boosted and the Labor ones get blunted when you pay attention to it. Sam happens when LNP are in Govt, so it’s not just a "going the opposite a voice- type thing.

  Don’t even start on the amount of dark and dirty money, backroom influence and corporate interference.

  Feels bleak sometimes, but sanity will prevail at some point. 🤞

  I agree with you on almost all points, apart from the line about all the people that voted for HER, I saw something yesterday that showed that the overwhelming number of votes for her Senate run were above the line, which said that people were therefore voting for the party rather than her as an individual.

  Interesting point and based on how people talk and vote around me it makes sense, I don’t think many people could actually tell you who their senators are.

  But again, I agree that the party vote rule is terrible and should be removed.
