In this parliament, that seems unlikely. Anthony Albanese has not been shy about making it known he wants to run a “middle of the road” government. And that means negotiating with the Coalition on bills, at least when it comes to national security, the economy, major social justice issues and borders to try to find that middle ground.
The middle of the road between the centre-right and right is still the right.
Fuck Labor.
Did Labor learn nothing from the last time they were in government? This just seems like a rerun of the Rudd-era ETS legislation, no doubt along with blaming the Greens rather than the opposition when it fails to pass.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The promised religious discrimination legislation looks like being one of the casualties, unless there is some sort of come-to-Jesus moment in the major parties where politics is put aside for the greater good.
And that means negotiating with the Coalition on bills, at least when it comes to national security, the economy, major social justice issues and borders to try to find that middle ground.
If Margaret Thatcher felt her greatest achievement was New Labour, then Dutton must be feeling pretty happy with Labor’s moves in the home affairs realm.
But with more high court cases in the pipeline and the Coalition seeking to make political hay while the home affairs sun shines, Dutton suddenly finds himself with a lot to smile about.
Putting aside that someone who spent more than 20 years in defence and intelligence could apparently be brought to tears by an angry Clare O’Neil, Sussan Ley was determined to get to the bottom of whether a single salty teardrop had tracked its way down Stephanie Foster’s cheek.
The Nationals senator was sent out to argue that Labor’s fuel efficiency standard, which seems to have made the motoring industry and environmental groups if not jump for joy, then at least not burn everything down, is a tax.
