The Libs traditionally are Neo-Liberals, that is:
-small government
-low taxes
-follow the market (let private enterprise sort out the economy)

And when ScoMo inc talk about leadership & specifically economic leadership
it sounds as ridiculous as spike Milligans comment on leadership"
"Follow me and I'll be right after you"

We have seen a "Management by Crisis' performance by Coalition Governments
whether these crisis have been internal leadership debacles or Covid and
a residency to get the right vaccines in time.

The problem with economic planning for Aus is that Conservatives label
that as socialist/commo and something to be avoided and that the market
(which is dominated by multinationals ) should call the shots.

Not alone that but the Market should call the media shots via advertising
clout and this is why Right Wing advocates are advocating muffling the
ABC by withdrawing public funding and requiring Auntie
to pander to its corporate sponsors.

While I really appreciate your post, we simply have to make a decision:
Do we want our economy to be private enterprise driven (as it is now)
or do we need a Government to orchestrate the economy by leading with
a long term bilaterally agreed economic plan to context budget
spending particularly in the areas of infrastructure, education & training,
health, taxation etc.

Otherwise we get the best Government that political sponsors can buy.

Hi MM
But first we have to create a vehicle to promote non political discussions without the rhetoric

As to Liberals and Labor labels IMHO they are just labels and the groups just play lip service to the labels, as basically they all operate by business methods to suit their sponsors

IMHO there is no difference between the two main parties, their only difference is in who their controllers are

There is a rule in business in that you fix the root problems first then go up the tree.
What has been happening is the Nero system, fiddle around the edges while Rome burns, the ABC is one of those unimportant annoyances to be left until the main problems are fixed

Because after you fix root causes many of the other smaller problems fix themselves as a result
