CW: stupid is as stupid does #auspol
@NewtonMark Many in the #ALP have the idea that #TrueBelievers are those who put party loyalty above self. They believe this is admirable.
More pointedly, they believe it is essential for gaining power. <confession> I envy them somewhat for their determination in this. </confession>.
However, when you've gained power, the unwritten contract with the True Believers is that you will use that power to do Good Things.
In 2004, Wong was out of power, and was forced to vote for an immorality, in order that the ALP might gain power later. (mind you, they still had the unelectable #MarkLatham as leader ... pffft)
In 2024, with the ALP in power, the equation has changed. #FatimaPayman is helping the True Believers. Giving back to them a small reason to go out to the trenches again.
The ALP absolutely needs a Senator Payton every now and then. She is their only believable answer to the criticism that they are just the Shit-Lite Party™.
