The ABC can reveal the results of YouGov's latest MRP model, which finds the Peter Dutton-led Coalition would be likely to win about 73 seats if an election was held today.
It would help if Labor didn’t fuck over one of the biggest unions in the country. They’re dragging their feet on giving other union members (nurses, transport workers, etc) the raises they deserve too. Like, these people worked in impossible circumstances during the pandemic, and now the politicians are acting like they completely forgot about that.
Obviously things would be worse with the liberals, but come on. They’re just too focused on getting balanced budgets because they don’t want a bad headline in the Australian (which they’ll get anyway regardless).

Yeah, they shouldn’t worry. It’d be interesting in future to get Chalmers to speak candidly about this time period. I find it hard to believe he fully accepts the Classical economics view on balanced budgets.
Also, see my reply to Ikt, i was also replying to your first point. Got a bit carried away, but hey, this ain’t a microblogging platform for a reason. :)
By the inclusion of transport workers, i’m guessing train workers in particular, i’m guessing they’re talking NSW Labor.
I don’t know what pay is like for these people over East, but if its anything like here, Nurses and Train workers are paid fairly well. What I meanbto say is they’re able to live firmly middle class lifestyles on their incomes.
To fix the crises in cost of living and housing we really want to be targeting the lower end band of wages, and increasing costs on housing investments like tax discounts and exemptions; at the same time some of these tax discounts apply to assets in general, those should stay, to promote the conversion of investment in property (all types), to more productive assets (ASX, private enterprises, Super, the list is endless). By doing this we’ll begin gaving a pool of money aiming for diverse growth investments, thereby helping the economy to diversify theough private capital flows.
Government of course can help direct these private capital flows by crowding in with Government resources (grants, exemptions, lending,etc) on those industries and companies that align with national targets, such as building feckin submarines, or whatever the shit the Government of the day wants.
Bit of rant, sorry. Reading Mariana Mazzucato again.
People generally don’t know or care which level of government is responsible for what, and for most issues it’s a mix anyway: state governments can’t run a deficit the same way a Federal government can, so they could pitch in one way or another, especially if they’re almost all run by the same party until recently.

Are you mixing up state labor and federal labor?
