We've seen that some are saying that the Duddo is clear that he can't win the next election gig, so he's going for 2028 etc.

It's a most likely bet that now Albo will get a second term, it's unlikely that Duddos Great Big Nuke idea will swing voters to give him he gig.

IF, and let's imagine for a moment that the above is true - if Albanese is confident of the above - and is confident of a second term ---

then, the game has changed - thanks to Duddo's strategy.

Just think for a moment what Dutton has done here for Albanese ---- forget what Duddo has done for the Liberals - think about this

Dutton has fully, open throttle, full noise, pedal to the metal --------

legitimised 'BIG'

with gusto

Think what this means to Albanese. The skipper, the leader, the man who told his party - time and time again - as close as we can, we do NOTHING more than we promised that we said we'd do.

And, he's tried pretty well there IMO. - But the point is - that Dutton has now let the dog off the chain

Dutto has let the 'go big' dog out, let loose the chain and Duddo can't go and attack Albo for -

going big
going debt
going big government
going government ownership
going centralised control (if Albo wants it)
going radical
going wild
overturning old ideas

So, for those of us who carry on about Albo's got a plan --------------- well, maybe Albo does have a plan, maybe Albo had a plan all the time - Leaders often do and they take a term or so to cement in quietly as possible before they pull the trigger -

and if Albo DOES have a plan - and a BIG plan ----------- then Dutton has just kicked the door wide open for Albanese and said --------- come on through Albo, I just cannot stand in your way now.

Whilst the hoo-ha about nuclear is about nuclear and a bit about renewables

IMO - the really big news is nothing to do with electricity ----- it's about legitimisation

Be brave to second guess the electorate these days.

I think it will come down to cost of living, with things like Nuclear vs Solar/Wind just window dressing. We now have the zoomers in the mix and they are unknowns.

The Y Gen MIllenials are now getting into late adulthood and makiig babies, getting mortgages and driving up house prices because of it.... they will want to live the good life they are used to.
