@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…/

What can I say… I like the cut of his jib. All that remains is to see how #Burnham will sail. He is certainly saying all of the right things to society at large and especially to those whose anger and frutrations require outlets, a safety valve to let off some steam, before *Repairs* begin. #AlboPM, *take note* if you value your legacy.
“In his first speech as prime minister on July 17, Burnham promised “good growth in every postcode”, saying his victory in the Makerfield by-election, which returned him to Westminster, was a call “on behalf of forgotten places everywhere up and down this country, for a return of the Labour they once knew”.
“We must recognise that this generation of politicians, myself included, have failed to challenge a political culture and an economic model that simply doesn’t work well enough for ordinary people.”
Burnham charts that failure to “a series of wrong-turns in the 1980s”.
“Four decades of the neoliberalism that began in the 1980s have not been kind to the places that built our party, nor to the communities across the UK in rural and coastal areas,” he said.
“Political power was centralised and economic power was privatised.”
