Labor need to pull their finger out and make some changes.

Spoiler, they won't :(

The only thing that will save us from this mess is a mass left-wing political movement to counter the rise of the right.

The Labor Party are not the party of workers, and haven't been for many, many decades. We can rely on them only to tinker, and to placate capital at the expense of the workers.

Luckily, preferential voting exists, so there's literally no downside to abandoning them in favour of parties that align with left-wing values.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but please join your local Socialists branch, or the Greens if you're not yet convinced capitalism in unreformable. And get everyone and their dog involved.
