    I have a hard time recognising original brand Labor in the millenial ALP.

    It used to draw its politics from the kitchen table, the candidates shared that table and they answered to the kitchen family. These days there's zip working class members in parliament, they all have degrees even though only 32% of the population have tertiary quals and it seems most of those are p1ss easy Arts classifcation and owned by Labor voting public servants.

    In my day the Labor pollies and Union leaders (and I met a fair few of both) were more like Tommy Shelby than soys boys ... they did as their mother told them, generally Godless, had a good grasp on common sense and played the game of them and us convincingly with a weekly drink with the enemy in a public bar, long strides, ties off and shirt sleeves rolled up.

    Likewise I don't recognise the Libs/Country parties spivs either.
