Come on guys - you can be a bit more generous towards Albo and his team. I didn't vote Labor, but it's good to see them hit the ground running. He's also dispelled some valid election doubts, in that he now really does come across as a leader. That's so important to get the whole country (and media) on board. Good to see them sticking it to China. Albo in my opinion is a more decent fellow than Scomo, and he appears more relatable, so that augurs well for him. Hopefully, the seriousness of the role will make him a more pragmatic person. Three areas where he's crossed over into fairyland (and will need to get back to reality rather soon): (1) Wages - he'll cop an electoral backlash in 12 months if he pushes again for wages to match what is likely to be an horrific inflation figure. The one just granted was pure politics to get elected. (2) Mother Nature won't give a stuff to any idealistic climate targets. Brainwashed first time voters in 2025 will be disappointed and disenchanted that Australia will still experience what is known as "the weather" at that time. (3) Indigenous Voice to Parliament - Won't have a hailstone's hope in hell of getting bipartisan support while there's too many unanswered questions. Australians don't conflate "feel good" with "no good" when it comes to referenda.
