I'm beginning to think, that Albo's entire aim of being PM, is to get Murdoch/News Corp approval. Like that somehow would make him feel like he's made it to the adult's table.
Such a disappointment

Labor has become what the Libs were a decade or two back. Not progressive, acting for big business and powerful organisations, often actually against the benefit to people. Our only hope is Indies of integrity or Greens who don't support bad policy.

It’s what’s been happening for decades. Labor makes some superficial changes but life for most people doesn’t get better. People vote in LNP who make things worse and Labor gets voted back in. Repeat.

A triumph of ‘government by marketing’.
In the footsteps of Morrison (and several lesser marketing ministers prior).

Imagine, if you will, a leader with a vision for a better future who wins an election with a fabulous majority and begins a process to rebuild and restructure the country in that image.

Instead we've got this. It sucks.

They had a clear voter mandate to go ahead and be a government for the people. Wild to see them still bending the knee to the corps who lost their propaganda campaign and were not voted in.

The Australian people are disappointed in their govt. The ALP have let us down in so many ways - AUKUS, selling arms to Israel, no Robodebt action, weak NACC, no decent gambling/vaping laws, housing, Unis, Woodside, the list goes on. Nothing to see here. Such an opportunity wasted by the duopoly.

2022 was a relief that LNP were gone. The Labor gently, gently approach up to 2025 was almost forgiveable, if the win in 2025 brought bold, brave government. They said they needed more than one term. They got a huge win and an opposition in the death throes. If they cant be brave now, then when?

As of now there is nothing Albanese's govt has done that has changed the country in any structural way.

No change at all to how the fundamental debates of the nation are addressed.

It won't happen while the ALP is in power. Albo is appallingly weak.

The actual impacted young people who have spoken intelligently and insightfully to committee making more bloody sense than most of the adults in Canberra, seriously we should lower the voting age and prioritise safety by holding tech companies accountable on the safety of their ‘products’

Leo Puglisi from @6newsau.bsky.social gave evidence to the parliamentary inquiry on the social media age ban - I asked him about the real impacts on young people. This isn't about protection, it's about control. You can't lock kids out of news and social connection and call it safety.
