I’m unsure that Amy Remeikis’ description of the #Labor party’s strategic thinking in the recent by-election is 100% on point;
“That Labor chose a staffer-turned-gas lobbyist as its candidate in Secret Harbour showed more than any focus group that the government has not realised where the public is at.
Labor followed its old model of choosing candidates, because that’s how it is done. It forgets that the public is not as obsessed with the gas industry as it is – it assumes that, because it supports gas, the public does and being connected with the gas industry is enough to convince people the candidate is sensible. This was the same arrogance that saw Labor parachute Kristina Keneally into the seat of Fowler in 2019, only to see the backlash as an anomaly and not a shifting tide.”
Still, AMy’s article presents an arguably valid analysis. The fact remains that domestically, our federal govt is either ignoring or failing to read the room (I’ve said that much before in my political toots). I predict that this lacuna will be #AlboPM’s undoing as a leader of the #PartyWhichHasLostItsWay.
The Q. is, if I read Amy’s article correctly, why is #AlboPM selectively blind to majority public opinion on domestic issues where he can exert the most control as opposed to international affairs. Might he be looking to gain international recognition… in venal pursuit of a personal *legacy*?

Freeking environmental vandals, the lot of them.STOP THEM NOW!
Strengthen #Datacenters #Regulations NOW. You pathethic, weak, #Labor Govt. Yes, I’m looking at you #AlboPM/Frustrated with bought pollies/
It occurs to me that it would only take every politician less than 30 minutes as they lie in bed each night before sleep to check out a couple of #IndependentNews outlet in order to #ReadTheRoom. Because they sure aren’t doing that now… reading the room that is.

#Healthcare… a societal right issue that just cannot be addressed without taking into account the economics and ethical aspects of #privatization.Of course, for the *right wingers*, taking away rebates, that is taking money away from our pockets and redirecting it to private health service providers, is just par for the course.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why our main stream media outlets #PropagadanSlopMachine can’t bring itself to highlight the extent of #StateTheft occurring in the sector.Given recent #PHON electoral wins in NSW, SA, and now WA, you’d think the **Bells** are ringing loudly in #AlboPM ‘s head that *More Of The Same* just isn’t going to cut it anymore… Else, I would question his fitness to govern ( which I do in any case).

Greg Jericho (in The Guardian) concludes with:
“Right now, the government is choosing to deliver $50bn a year to the richest 10% of Australians for no real, discernible public good that benefits the nation. Maybe that deserves a bit more attention than we give predictions of budget estimates which will soon be forgotten and likely be wrong.”
Come on #AlboPM what are you waiting for? Christmas?
I guess I have now confessed my deep regards for #GregJericho’s economic nous. Ah well, he deserves it. He is in the same basket as #AlanKohler in good company.
