John Daysh,
Your replies clearly show that you don't have the mentality to see even a minute ahead. You say you want to see the policies ? Are you totally oblivious to your surrounds ?
What moron would think a Government would actually admit their real agenda. Have a look at what's going on, stop watching the ABC !
At this moment I'm watching India News & it's frightening what goes on there. Australia is only one election away from letting it all happen here too. Stop, listen, look !

Indyvidual,

Thanks for confirming what I suspected - there are no actual policies you can name. Just vague warnings, foreign fear stories, and the usual “you wouldn’t understand” routine.

I asked a fair question: Which policies do you believe are taking Australia down a Venezuelan path? You replied with insults and told me to “just look around” - as though fear and vibes are a substitute for evidence.

You’re right about one thing, though: it’s not theatre anymore. Now it’s just projection.

//Australia is only one election away from letting it all happen here too.//

Yeah, this same claim was doing the rounds in right-wing echo chambers before the last election too. It’s always “just one election away” - and yet, year after year, there’s not a shred of evidence to suggest it’s true.

It just goes to show how little Labor under Albanese are giving the rightist commentariat to feed off, when they have to make this sort of stuff up.

no actual policies you can name
John daysh,
we only get 350 words here but since you're so oblivious to where Albo & Co are leading us, how about just observing what's going on in immigration for a start.
Education is another you could look at as is foreign investment & the Chinese interests in Torres Strait.

Indyvidual,

In fairness to myself, I’ve already asked twice - and your two responses didn’t even use half the 350-word allowance. But maybe the hesitation comes from a confusion between specific policies and entire fields of political science.

//…how about just observing what’s going on in immigration for a start.//

That’s an entire political issue - not a specific policy. Labor’s stance on immigration has evolved over the years, depending on the context, public sentiment, and economic or social needs of the time. Broadly pointing to “immigration” doesn’t clarify anything unless you can name a particular action or decision.

The same goes for the other issues you mentioned - education, foreign investment, and Chinese interests in the Torres Strait. These are complex areas with decades of bipartisan engagement. If you believe a specific Albanese-era decision in any of those areas is authoritarian or destabilising, then say so - name it.

And just to be clear, I asked for a specific policy under the current Albanese government - because it's the one you're referring to and it's the one we're being told is the worst government we’ve ever had.

Which is a huge claim, by the way!

Especially in a country that’s lived through serious governance failures: economic meltdowns, mass unemployment, policy collapses - events that reshaped lives, not just culture-war grievances.

So again - what has Labor actually done that earns them comparisons to authoritarian regimes? Because unless you can point to something concrete, we’re not having a political discussion - we’re just swapping superstitions.

point to something concrete,
John Daysh,
It's impossible to make people see if they aren't willing look ! If you need to have everyday goings-on explained you're in no position to ever comprehend.

That response was cartoonishly evasive, Indyvidual.

I haven't asked you to explain anything yet - just to name a single policy from the current Labor government that you believe is taking us down the path of Venezuelan-style socialism.

Apparently, there aren’t any. And that’s all I needed to show. Thanks.
