Interested in games (Total War modding ftw). Too sad about the direction of politics, climate change, filled with anxiety about that.
To understand Labor’s actions: they explicitly moved/governed to the right in 2022-2024. Stopped discussing inequality, said the Liberals “aspiration and opportunity” were their values, then won an even bigger majority. The election reinforced to them they don’t have anything to fear from the left.

It’s Labor being the pragmatic ones, because the policy topic did not threaten the capital gains of the large number of multi property owners that vote Labor.
Or are you surprised that Labor refused to negotiate on housing policy (rent is up 10-11% since HAFF passed), but were happy to on this.

If it did it was because of Albanese’s personal animosity to them.
I also find it curious that the ALP are happy to negotiate on this policy, but refused point blank to negotiate on housing policy, when we have seen that since they passed their bill houses are up 10% on avg an rent up about 10-11%.

You no doubt mean housing. Since the HAFF passed 2 years ago house prices are up an avg of 10% and rent up 7% last year and 5% in 23-24. Labor refused point blank to negotiate on it, while they are happy to on other policies. Might want to ask yourself why Labor only used that tactic for housing.

It’s a pathological trauma thing like nothing else seen. There is not a single other issue or topic in any other country where they still still reference something that long ago.
There’s going to be friggin voters in the next election who weren’t even born when it happened.

FYI - this proposal was raised internally in gov during the Morrison gov, I remember seeing the NPP for it. They ended up choosing to not proceed with it.
The government you voted for passed a policy that even the Morrison government thought went too far.
Might want to consider your vote next elec

When you see current day ALP people post they show all the same type of mentality that Clinton democrats did. Utterly convinced of their own morality, deeply opposed to anything that will make life better, only response to ALP’s right ward shift is “LNP bad”. I know how Bernie supporters felt now.

Have you ever considered that you are actually a neoliberal centre right wing supporter who loves the status quo, enjoys your own hypocrisy and would have been a Hillary Clinton-stan if you had been born in America.

Nothing I love more than so-called "left" parties that use right wing neoliberal talking points in all their language and rhetoric.
Can we just fast forward to when the ALP kicks disability pensioners off their payments so they talk about "making tough decisions" cause you know its coming.

Don’t worry, the ALP has adopted the phrasing “aspiration and opportunity” as their chief values, they are a party of small government pro-market Ezra Klein “Abundance”. One day there might be a left wing opposition to this right wing ALP, but people need to vote for it.

You can directly map how embarrassed yet unable to admit how much they support an eight wing party they support by how much they externalise, deploying “vote blue no matter who” type lines, talking about Howard, talking about the Greens. Anything to avoid addressing how close Albo is to Starmer.

Just in some? When they are governing closer to Howard than Gillard.

In their minds they are getting such a huge vote share because they are refusing to be bold and progressive, not a sign they should be.

It’s literal conspiracy brained thinking. Every post this woman makes indicates a person under extreme stress, who is openly seeking to maintain her identity worldview at any cost. I started feeling dismissive of her but now just feel more sad. It’s really depressing to see someone like this.

You can tell you triggered cognitive dissonance in this woman since she started redefining the meaning of terms. Claiming “democracy is anti-fascism” is a classic semantic reframing technique used to handle the difference in stated claims and reality when she becomes aware of the hypocrisy.

I actually love seeing goal post shifting and redefining terms in real time. It shows that the person is cognitively arguing from a position of weakened and cognitive dissonance, not objectively and truthfully.
