Don’t get me wrong generally I see labour policies favourably. I vote prodominantly green for context. What irks me is that it’s party first, public second. With a razor thin majority, they water down policies to not rock the boat in WA or in coal mining towns. I get it, and their strategists have a job to do, but it alienates inner city voters. As the federal government they have a big megaphone, but they run away and put things in the too hard basket. The media play that negative gearing or stable house prices is political suicide and they fall for it.

What is the Labor party, it lacks identity, and it feels like they are running on just not being Dutton. That’s a losing strategy.
