After years in the wilderness for Federal Labor, the landslide victory they gained just over 3 years ago should have seen them with a decade in government.
What happened?
Lack of vision? Discipline? Factional control?
Are the policies so deficient it became obvious sooner rather than later?
Did hubris set in with rigormortis like stiffness within months?
Was the "unaustralian" union co-ordinated knifing of Rudd out of touch with the Australian psyche?
Do the unions and Labour Caucus still not get it?
Was it the despised state Labor Governments of Vic, NSW and Qld that have near bankrupted those states?
Out of touch ... and out of government ... all by their own doing imo ... time (as in the next 18 months) will tell.
