Some positives are being achieved but he is not getting the message through in a way that people see him as Labor leader in a positive way.

I guess one of the problems I can see with being the incumbent, is that the unknown populist opposition can just promise anything, even if they have no intention of doing it.

It would be an excellent start if he and his government would actually start doing just that.

I have a close friend whose 16 year old son has severe ASD. He receieved a letter that his son's NDIS package is being cut by 48% on the same day Albanese was whining in the media about how it would be wrong to increase taxes on LNG exports becuase our customers would be upset.

The current Labor government have done some good work, like the rejigging of the stage 3 tax cuts and improvements to worker rights. But they side with big business over regular Australians a majority of the time.

Politicians say a lot

the main thing is you need a safety net that equaly applies to everyone. one thing I noticed in the us is you have things for military and older people and police and fire fighters and this just leads to this gotta keep the stuff for me and not for thee. we need a decent baseline for everyone and then people can save or invest or learn or work to get better. disabled vets/police/etc should not get better than disable anyone and healthcare should not have an age requirement.

Cool. When's he gonna start? Because this lifelong Labor voter is starting to look elsewhere for next election due to how disappointing he's been.

Wild how he acknowledges what he has to do while simultaneously refusing to do it.

Also reducing the amount of lobbying money that bad actors have for funding the populists would be a step in the right direction.

Maybe by taxing them appropriately.

And then using the Tax revenue to make it better for people.

Maybe by subsidising local manufacturing industry, creating jobs, self worth and simulating the domestic economy.

no, that won't work.
