sort of ------------- I would agree with you that albo isn't good vision
the real problem with it for us as humans is that albo might be a very good PM
no one would know until he was tried in the position -
it, to me, is one of the greatest failings of humans - we pick our leaders because of how they look --------- god forbid - that's how we got a scomo --
he's not a textbook look - that's certain - but, he doesn't look like an albo either - he's got a voice that, although not senatorial - just passes muster and a head like a rock on a stick - - whereas albo looks like a whimp
but, - none of that matters really for performance
as to actual substance --- what labor is offering up next time - is different to last - now they've dumped a couple of policies -
and, that too is in the problem area for us as modern humans --
the policies that were dumped - may well have been good for us -
the problem is that once you have given the kiddies lollies - it's as hard as taking a bone away from the Rottweiler - to get em back
remember Howards totally crap extra baby bonus payments - a dreadful idea - and, it took governments years to claw that away - including Liberal governments -
everyone know it was a total crap idea - but, once that lolly is out there - it's difficult to retrieve
It's a huge problem for Australia (and many other places) - the concept has created a race to the bottom for parties
you come out with a crap idea - but, it puts some short term lollies in the pockets of the kiddies -
then, the other mob have to go one better - more lollies - a bigger crap idea
not good

The death of every democracy is when the political parties realise they can dip into the Treasury and make more and more unfunded promises, and the punters fall for it, not realising that they'll be the ones paying it back (or the future generations).
Australia can look forward to more taxes, confiscation of superannuation assets, tax on family home, increased GST, etc etc etc
