'The good has become the enemy of better’: why the Senate refused to accept Labor’s first EPBC draft
'Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ has become the catch-cry of proud 'centrists' in Australia. But it’s time we admitted that the good has become the enemy of better.

How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.
