Strongly agree, #AlboPM needs to change strategy and tap into electorate anger issue. He ought to forget (not focus on) the Greens and PHON and just out-manoeuver them with a few truly progressive pieces of legislation (Poss with the Greens and other crossbenchers).A point of contention. It is all well and good to express an opinion on the benefit (or otherwise) of #AUKUS, but to say that the #UK is rejigging the deal without providing any evidence to back it up (whatever it might be) I think puts Journalism back a step into ill-repute.

@RaymondPierreL3 #AlboPM's blindness comes from being a political nepobaby, whose entire life has been spent within the comfortable, safe, and predictable embrace of systems that insulated him from reality; a childhood of public housing, a reliable parental pension, bank job for a discounted mortgage, free university, party staffer, safe seat...
Albo has lived a Labor party Norman Rockwell painting, as preparation for leading during society's tip over the edge to collapse.

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*?

@ketan
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.
/Swearing isn’t productve, but venting is good…/

I can’t say I wasn’t aware of the greenwashing that’s going on on the back of the fuel tax credit (FTC) scheme, but it doesn’t hurt keeping up to date with the rorts purpetrated by our mining and extracting industry giants. This tax-payer funded rort, just keeps getting better and better despite the revelations in independent media. Not that our #Labor govt is inclined to stamp it out apparently. Seems like we can do both, meet our paultry emission targets AND pay big poluters to, well… polute some more. How inane is that. This is govt taking the rest of us for #numpties. This BS can’t be allowed to go on. We need #AlboPM to end the FTC schemes at least for big business if he’s not gutsy enough to cut the #Farmers out as well.
“The analysis by Naru Research found the top 18 FTC scheme recipients, mostly multinational iron ore mining and coal companies, collectively received $3.3 billion in credits but only faced an estimated $150 million in compliance costs under the Safeguard Mechanism.
“Australia’s biggest industrial greenhouse gas emitters are being paid to pollute,” stated researcher Tim Baxter.”

It doesn’t look like the Victorian Parliamentary Labor Causus was opposed to Allen’s legislative agenda as much as it was unconvinced Labor could win the coming election under her leadership. It might mean that Allen has burned through too much political trust with the electorates of Victoria and that the Party needs a new ‘face’ with an agenda that addresses Allen’s electoral shortcomings… Accountabilty, Transparency and action on corruption allegations.
IMO there is are lessons here for #AlboPM and #2028Elections

@26pglt
Political differentiation is what’s needed in a political system where all parties (even the #Greens afaik) are content to work with the current #Economic system which is stuck in a 40 year old dogma; that markets know best (aka #NeoClassical or #NeoLiberal economic hogwash clearly debunked twice since the #Thatcher and #Reagan anathema on #WealthEquity , #SocialLicence and #SocialDemocracy).Otherwise the electorate would wake up to the con job the polies perpetrate.
And 100% on #FirstNations and #TorresStraightIslanders, all players in the political arena have #Abandonned them as a result of #TheVoice debacle (thank you #Anthony for doing fuck all to make sure the referendum passed, it clearly showed whose side you’re on #AlboPM )
I’m fucking sick of all polies and their lies, redirections, misdirections and disinformation. I can see no way out of this except 1) a mother of all global financial crash, or 2) people’s revolutions worldwide, or 3) both. We’ve been taken for a ride for far too long IMO.
#AMyRemeikis rocks.

“The true hypocrisy over university fees. Would Anthony Albanese's cabinet have gone to university if they had to pay the same fees as the students of today?”

My question is: *Is the Govt reading this?*. They should, because the window on legislating bountyful #GasTaxes on the #SuperProfits currently enjoyed by the #GasIndustries is rapidly closing. If #AlboPM keeps going at his #SlugSpeed on this overwhelmingly supported #Tax there will be little to celebrate and Consolidated Revenue will not see its full potential (if Gas Peak hasn’t already gone past us).
The other important question is: *WTF is Labor even considering new #FossilFuel and especially #GasField exploration and #Exploitation licences* (in the NW)? What in blazes is he blind to? Is this a obvious case of #StateCapture by preferential and idiotic treatment? How can the *whole* of govt, the pollies, the public service, the NGOs all be going along with this #Circus ? No detractors to be seen in the halls of power? Could #AlboPM really be pulilng *ALL* the strings? Is everyone with one ounce of *decision-making* authority hell bent on maintaining the current economic *joke* ? If not, then why aren’t we seeing a backbench and crossbench revolt in Partliament. Why aren’t we seeing public information flooding the news medium? Why aren’t we seeing GOvt taken. To Court on their failure of *Duty of Care* ? Class actions filling the Courts’ agenda. The #Greens flooding us with outrage at the inaction we observe and which makes us angry?
I have a lot of questions… and so far, no answers! There has been no better time to see that doing the same thing and expecting better results is either a conspiracy (lead by the #RentierClass and its minions) or wholesale brainwashing of the power elites. WTF will it take for the electorate to demand much *Better* from our representataives?
