"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"

"I learned yesterday that the Liberal Party Constitution is almost double the number of pages as the Constitution of Australia. Ive also heard dozens of stories from those with experience dealing with the party structure - from young people trying to join met with hostility to former members who left jaded. Add this to their lack of talent vision policy and political performance - and I cant honestly draw any other conclusion than the party is fundamentally rotten. 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"

"Its an oversimplification to say inflation is caused by government spending. But inflation is almost entirely within the governments control - excluding some global impacts at discrete points in time (which can also be mitigated with long term planning and good decisions in the moment). As a whole public spending should be judged by if its boosting productivity and increasing supply capacity to meet demand or hindering it and therefore creating an imbalance that drives up prices. And if the system cant cope with existing demand then non-targeted immigration and government interventions"
