Australia needs a big dose of democratic socialism right now.

The complete dumbing down of politics

From "Karen"

We set our sights and goals so low

Could you try to analyse policies rather than commentating as if it's a sporting event rather than serious matters that affect every single Australian?

We have lost journalism to sensation generators

Point: If you ask people why they voted the way they did, after the event, and give them a menu of political wonk 'likely reasons' to choose from, you're probably not going to get to the nub. Something major changed in #Auspol, quite suddenly, and they appear to have missed it.

In their books as long as they are ahead of the LNP, they're happy

Imagine if policy started with generosity, compassion and love and a promise of a home and a job that pays a living wage

We can set the rules and then make business work those rules

We do need #radical change

Eg: 237 yrs after Transportation started, tough on crime policy still failing

Labor, like the Liberals, have sold our climate ambition out to the coal and gas lobbyists.

Beyond that, it’s likely the true numbers are even worse given the report seems to have excluded pricing in Queensland’s decision to keep coal in the energy mix for a decade longer.
