    This probably won’t bite the ALP as hard in the next election since Zionism isn’t as tied to Australia as much as the US or UK, so I think this is a smart move (even if doomed to fail due to US veto) but they really need to do more for the working class than pay lip service to (some) unions if they want to avoid what happened in QLD to repeat on the national scale.

    Boy Boy/ididathing/FriendlyJordies can do what they can to influence the online zoomers/millennials but they actually need to address the working class proper if they want to go against Rupert Murdoch et al.

      avoid what happened in QLD to repeat on the national scale

      I wouldn’t use Queensland as a barometer for the country, Labor were in power for ~29 of the last 34 years, while voting Liberal every election except 1990 and 2007

      Meanwhile they also put a three out of four Greens in the lower house federally last election

      Agree overall though, the 50 cent transport fares, school lunches etc. proposals were all very popular and saved Labor from a wipe out.
