Nothing to do with long-burn attrition. Labor Lite Ley was as wet as, a daft choice, more like a victim-impact statement than an "opposition" leader, terrified right from the start, to challenge the Labor ethos of net-zero open-borders. That pro-Labor Turnbull has had a huge hissy fit is one sign the Taylor-Hume team is at least some improvement on Ley-O'Brien.

The process of asking leaders should be speeded up; four years is way too long.

Do we really need to be led? ‘Leader ’. ‘Strong leader’. Makes me think ‘tyrant’. Hitler. Stalin. Xi. Albanese (?).

I know that many leaders get things done that need doing. But, it often doesn't end there. Rights and freedoms gradually disappear, as they are disappearing in Australia and other Western countries.

Maybe if we actually elected a leader? As it is, we have to take what some party gives us; we only vote for someone who will be more loyal to that leader than he or she will be to us.
