my understanding is that both labour and liberal (and greens members wow?) are leaving for ON:
https://theconversation.com/one-nation-surges-above-coalition-in-newspoll-as-labor-still-well-ahead-in-contrast-with-other-polls-273781
I think part of it is just utter bewilderment that we had 10 years of liberal party rule and in two terms they've imploded so hard one nation ffs is taking votes left and right
The scariest prospect is that if Labor/Albo continue to skirt around certain issues we may have our own version of the UK's reform battling for serious numbers at the next few elections :|
I often wonder if Albo did well because of how he captained, because people wanted change or that scomo and the the liberals were just so bad. Either way the average man has gotton much of the same, higher costs and less ability to have a steady future. I appreciate that he made an effort with recognising first nations it is a issue that needs to be tackled but its probs behind 10 other bigger issues.
Until the pollies stand up to coal, houseprices, china...or the money its only gonna get worse, and really, Aus has seen this happen all over the western world and had a good 5 year hindsight.I feel like there is time to turn it around for Aus but there does not seem a politician likely to step up, serve the people and give the tough talks that most need to hear.
'She'll be alright' has changed from a positive call to an excuse to ignore problems and refute progress.
