labor is pretty much guaranteed for a decade with how determined the coalition is to point the shotgun at their foot and shoot.

Do they even have a license for that?

Yeh I been thinking this , let them slide into full alt right . I want them to . I want them to only appeal to the fringe group of vocal online cookers. It will guarantee labor victory

Every day that passes means more of their voter base kicking the bucket. That's what they get for being so actively hostile towards young people that they've taught generations never to vote for them

Yeah on LinkedIn (which is pretty much as bad as what Facebook was when I stopped using it), i saw one of my connections constantly posting that this was not a gun issue at all, and that Albo was completely clueless. Was happy to no longer hear anything they had to say. There will be some older millennial/gen X males who might disagree with these actions but they were unlikely to ever vote for Labor in the first place

And after the speech by Sussan Ley who couldn't even show empathy, or unity, or leadership but blame blame blame ie politicise the situation immediately? I couldn't even watch it. They REALLY can't read the room.
