While the LNP has swung Trumpist, so far Right The ALP had nothing left to steal they too are almost looking Liberal. The Liberals can no longer talk about the Economy because they’re the ones who fucked it up. The ALP needs to because their priority is to fix it. In the meantime, the coalition wants to suck them into the rabbit warren of the Culture wars where everyone has an opinion, is easily manipulated, and gets so heated it divides families but ambergris to media organizations like News Corp.

However, like it or not the ALP is here to repair the economy and the material world in which we all live. Its priority needs to be to make it a fairer place for everyone. Dropping the stage 3 tax promise might just be the best option available to begin with. Returning the ABC to its intended charter another. It was never meant to be balanced but a body to hold all governments and politicians to account not just a platform for their he said she said voices.

So much of what has happened to our politics can be put down to its Americanisation, which on past performance can hardly be accepted as a winning formula. I guess some have just wanted to emulate features of what is often described as the world’s leading democracy. Others (many in the Coalition) have wanted to pick up from the United States Republican party and, in recent years, to emulate and harness its Trumpism. They have been impressed by the way the former US president has built a conservative edifice by exploiting division, attacking members seen as obstructing a more hardline-right economic and social policy agenda, with little grace or empathy.
