Albanese is yesterday's man, tomorrow and for the foreseeable future.

Labor will start to have a chance after they get rid of him.

SM,

The opinion polls consistently predicted
Bill Shorten would win last Saturday.
Political analysts were sure of it.

So predicting Scott Morrison's or Labor's
future is risky.

We now have the challenges of what lies
ahead. And it is exciting. But what the
outcomes will be - we'll have to wait and see.

Although I have to admit I feel very positive
about the future of this country.

Here are a few whacky ideas that the Labor party needs to DROP if it is ever to get back on track:

Implementation of “anti-bullying” programs like the Safe Schools program.

Ensuring that all children can transition genders freely at school.
Genderless identification documents such as passports and birth certificates.

Including LGBT content into all sex education classes to make “sex education inclusive of all sexualities and gender identities.

Access to assisted reproductive technology (ART) to all “regardless of relationship status, sex, gender, identity or sexual orientation and similar provisions for inter-country adoption agreements.

Removing exemptions to discrimination law that currently allow religious schools to teach traditional sexual ethics.

Not to mention their absurd, costly RET and meaningless CO2 reduction, and …. too many other things to mention

Foxy I can understand SM and co not wanting to see Labor will return stronger than ever
Quite frankly it is my view ttbn is so far both right and lost, nothing he says is worth reading
However my new Labor, it will need to be that at times, must rethink some policy
We gain nothing by pandering to the few while chasing the many away
Albo, voted for him in the election that replaced Rudd
Never quite forgave Bill for his TWO knife jobs
Always will think Rudd should have been given a chance, brilliant man that he is
Albo then, now and forever, is the right stuff, he knows how to unite
I will be his hardest critic if he turns us left
In our favor is mounting calls for real action on climate change,too the coming financial crisis
That crisis could arrive in hours days or months but it is coming

Dear Belly,

What Labor needs to do is learn from the mistakes
made in Queensland. Queenslanders are not all
deeply conservative rusted on LNP voters. If they
were they would not have elected Labor governments
for 25 out of 30 years.

Nor would they have elected two female premiers -
Anna Bligh and Annastacia Palaszczuk.

The problem for Labor was not that Queenslanders
don't like voting Labor. It was that Labor
misunderstood the variances and nuances of the
Queensland electorate.

It's the only state where the majority of the
population lives outside the capital city.
Regionalism matters in Queensland the way it
does not elsewhere.

As regions reliant on export industries they have been
highly susceptable to cycles of boom and bust.
Many are still suffering high unemployment and
depressed housing prices following a slow down in
mining and the end of the construction boom in and
around Gladstone. Frequent national disasters have
compounded their difficulties.

As a result Queensland governments have had to be
highly responsive to the interests and fears of the
diverse Queensland communities.

The National focus of federal politics however -
was less given
to understanding the differences between these regions
(Cairns, Clermont, Caboolture, Charleville). This hurt
both Labor and the Coalition as shown by the rise of
first preferences to minor parties like -
One Nation and the United Australia Party.

Labor suffered more due to its policy rich campaign
platform focused mainly on metropolitan first home
buyers and environmentalists. This did not signal
to Australians particularly in Queensland that their
concerns were being heard.

Rafe Champion gives pause for thought about any exhilaration after the election results, claiming that the difference between the parties is "razor thin", and the result was really down to "incredible good fortune and a major bungle by Labor".

Pissing on Morrison's parade, perhaps, but he points out the fact that progressive left politics still reigns in the education system where it will do the "most long-term damage". (Catallaxy Files, 24/5/19).
