From removing Palestine protesters, to hesitation on gambling reform and warnings about One Nation, Labor’s latest conference reveals a party managing decline rather than shaping Australia’s future.
Brilliantly well said , thank you 🙏. Minns and Albanese have been shrivelling any concept of a “ a Labor Party “ since they
assumed office . How is it possible to have any trust in , or respect for a “Prime Minister “ who supported Palestine until he became
PM , and then changed tune abruptly to support his “valued friends “ the Zionists who are committing genocide ??
How is it possible to have any trust at all in a NSW Premier who took an all expenses paid trip to Israel for “information “
aka indoctrination , and who now sees fit to have his Police Force arrest any peaceful protester who dares to object to
genocide ? Ben Chifley , Gough Whitlam must be spinning in their graves . Paul Keating must be disgusted .
Shame on both the PM and the NSW Premier , who are opening the door wide to the insanity , racism to the max , and ignorance of One Nation . THIS is the consequence of their spineless grovelling .
“spineless grovelling” for sure, Albo has never been the same since Biden’s State Dinner for him. He was and still is enraptured by the glittering spectacle his ticket to the big boys sandbox affords him. Watching his shit eating grin in the presence of US Presidents is like watching a middle schooler almost wetting his pants on his first day at high school and the seniors just invited him into their group.
Boom 💥💥 I couldn’t agree more . Sickening beyond embarrassment. The Labor Conference will be equally embarrassing
because of all the issues he refuses to allow to be debated / discussed . Meanwhile Pauline and Gina are laughing all the way to the polling booth . ( To say nothing of triumph of the “antisemitism envoy “ over him 😡😡)
Since when has the ALP been a party of protest?? I was a member for twenty years. Still active union member. The ALP, especially in NSW, is a get-rich-quick scheme for third rate hacks who missed out on a job at a suburban real estate, and nepo kids related to existing politicians. Look at Jo Haylen in Summer Hill. Couldn't even run Albo's electoral office properly so ended up being the local state MP! then became a minister! But so did Eric Roozendaal, so the benchmark is already underground. Then she appoints another Albinista as head of Transport and he proves more useless than knife without a handle. I remember when the ALP was run by people who used crims like Tom Domican and Joe Meissner to enforce their authority. They bashed Pete Baldwin, and he went on to be the Social Security minister under Hawke who started walking back the unemployment benefit. He put in the foundations that have made Centreli, sorry, Services Australia, the olympic level shitshow it is today. Hawke and keating ripped out the social safety net in the workplace, started on the welfare system in time for Howard to finish the job. And all along drongos like Kristina Kenneally, Michael Costa and Morris Iemma were running to do whatever Moodys or Standard and Poors told them to do. And its not as if the Left are any better, if it's not Milton Orkopoulos' Heroin and worse habit, we've had to sit through fuck-knuckles like Ian Macdonald and company. Poor old Marcus Sturm and Drang is belting out his left wing magazine here on Substack but, it's, well, delusional in its belief that the party that is proud of hosting US Marines, and on the record for supporting it, is ever going to be at the forefront of social justice. And this is not new. I wrote a substack late last year about how Vere Gordon-Childe warned in 1926, a hundred years ago, that the ALP was just an electoral vehicle to promote the careers of people who lacked enough talent to work for a living.
This isn't labour labour died wth tony Blair. This party is the bastard child of Maggie. You need to go back to the roots. Corbyn socialist ls . Don't vote for these people anymore wasted vote.
Albanese and Chalmer's modest tax changes caused investors to scream like stuck pigs merely for being told to put their money into the productive construction of new homes, rather than lazily snapping up existing family homes for rentals, which reduced the number of homes available for sale to families.
The hysterical response shows how hard real reforms are in the face of powerful vested interests. Good on Albanese Labor for pushing the tax changes through anyway.
Not so commendable is Labor's loss of courage over gambling reforms.
One Nation has no actual answers, just irrational ranting.
The way for Labor to beat One Nation is MORE reforms, not caution.
Voters want governments to actually improve their lives, not just waste our time with meaningless hand wringing.
Morrison/Dutton's Liberals were rejected because they were incompetent and proved they were useless about fixing real problems, instead sinking into squabbles about woke nonsense.
Labor must show real courage in seeking the Aussie ideal of 'a fair go for all'.
We make migrants sign agreement with an Australian Values Statement about a 'fair go for all' - governments must also make a 'fair go' their priority.
Otherwise, voters will just abandon them as useless.

Labor is the new Liberal party in all but party colour.
Spot on analysis of the demise of the Labor Party - death by its own hand.

Labor as we once knew it is dead. This government might as well be the LNP.
Albanese and Chalmer's modest tax changes caused investors to scream like stuck pigs merely for being told to put their money into the productive construction of new homes, rather than lazily snapping up existing family homes for rentals, which reduced the number of homes available for sale to families.
