Well written. That's a fine summary of where we are and how we got here.

Unfortunately, the Labor Party's adoption of spin over substance during the past couple of decades has left them emasculated.

It's now too late. Labor can no longer defend themselves by using logic and facts, because they have trained their audience to listen to spin and emotive nonsense. The audience has been trained not to listen to logic. Labor has only itself to blame for this debacle, from which there can be no return without a generational break.
