I went back and read the Chris Uhlmann piece claiming Scomo can win just to see if there is anything concrete to worry about. Nope. The piece said absolutely nothing except "scomo needs to run a perfect campaign". Great. That's the kind of rigorous thinking that brings me to ninefax.

Acting like it's a sports carnival where perfect performances count is doubly dumb as gently caress. He's got absolutely no footing for a decent, let alone good campaign.

The gist of that piece imho was that it is possible for slogan bogan to win, but only if everything goes absolutely right for him. Uhlmann was highlighting the size of the challenge, not spruiking that Scomo has the momentum of a runaway freight train, why is he so popular?

6 max.

The economy is going to go in the poo poo in the next couple of years, but Labor will manage to get out the message enough that it's a consequence of the Libs to scrape into a second term. Part of the way they manage to get this message across will be through seeming safe and predictable and avoiding the leadership nonsense we've seen over the past decade from both parties.

Things will still stay down as a new global recession hits (it will be 14-15 years from the GFC at that point, time for another downturn) and Australia will feel the brunt of it as resources prices are lower and there is little room to drop interest rates further. It will be long enough in at that point that the electorate holds Labor to blame and the Coalition will Bradbury their way into power again.

Two terms is the absolute most you can hope for, and even that requires a fight. Don't underestimate how radically different the media coverage of a labor government is to that of an lnp government.

Also, I'm not 100% confident of a labor win. I am eternally pessimistic.

I do however think that we will get a obstructive senate.
There is an outside chance that Labor and the Greens can control the Senate.

Labor + Greens + Center Alliance (+Hinch) is pretty plausible though, which seems workable.

You forgot about this guy didn’t you. Everyone did. Big mistake Thanos.

He got his name when he murdered Anthony albanese in a lab challenge. Well, some say it was murder but the rules of the lab challenge were very clear. This little guy has a few big surprises in store.

As always, Dennis and Ken are ready for duty (and for a proper OP for goodness' sake).

You WILL still encounter people who think they 'have to' vote for Labor or the Coalition, or have to follow a how-to-vote card for their vote to count. A lot of new voters; a lot of old voters who just aren't Extremely Online™.
