"The Labor machine is nefarious but it isnt stupid - they know trying to pass a massive bill through an ultra-compressed schedule is doomed to fail. So whats the strategy Labor is on the nose - immigration remains high inflation remains persistent productivity remains stagnant and they dont have an economic plan. Greens are obstructionist - rejection of policy that had support in the polls before it was drafted enables Labor to frame them as rigid and impractical. Teals are ineffective - similarly to the Greens theyll be able to frame them as virtue signallers who get in the way of moderate"

It saddens me to say this because whilst I have no loyalty to the Liberals its disastrous for this country to be dominated by one"

"Yeah it's impossible for us to know the specific military benefits the nations provide to each other - but I imagine Israel offers a lot in the way of defence technology. And of course we can criticise them for actions outside of their own country but they do maintain values we hold dear here - liberal democracy including women's equality not prevalent amongst many of its Middle Eastern counterparts. Ultimately I think it's a combination of both of these factors that determine alliances - it doesn't make sense to prioritise countries who offer little militarily but it also undermines our own"

The problem is we didn't use the boom to build a sovereign wealth fund and our settings meant the best place for people to park cash was in housing because of guaranteed growth. We need to make it attractive for people to start and invest in businesses that innovate. We need to stabilise house price growth and get productivity moving through small business growth."
