The incompetant Liberal type Budget nasty to older Australians seriously damaged Labor and put the long term proven incompetant Liberals into the race.

A 6% uniform swing would see Labor chucked out of government.

I don't see that happening at the next election, but Labor will probably lose a dozen or more seats in 2028.

I think there may well be a coalition of 3 - Libs; Nats and ON eventually to try to hurt Labor.

Can the Libs survive as a going entity?

Maybe not.

Well - Labrador only snuck in via preference votes - a clear farce and a deep offence against the voting public of Australia - who would have a vastly different house of reps and senate without preference - and one that more accurately reflected the views and desires of the voting public.

Both majors scored around a third of the primary vote... only in a system of 'election' so vastly corrupt to serve the major parties could Labor get its vast majority and set about wreaking the dreadful harm it has been.

Never forget that the government of the day always stacks those courts as well - which is why we have this legacy today of dorks sitting in judgement and doing what mothra spewed at me once - deliberately choosing the most obnoxious and offensive things to create an atmosphere in which it appears that 'real change' is happening, while the reality is that the electorate of The People is therefore thrown continually into turmoil and in some ways under an actual reign of terror.

The ad with the bloke being frog-marched out by security for 'making a bad joke at work' is actually not funny - and when bad-mouthing a person in some way can create hell of their life, remove economic and social and even legal opportunites etc from that person - on the basis that someone claims a 'feeling' - then you know you are living in a despotic state.

An overhaul is desperately needed right NOW, and I'm not sure the libs are really what we want or need, given their track record of equal wrongdoing to the people.

Here's a good time to remind you of Australia's Most Hated Man - let's just call him Deuce -  who is now in the position, with zero convictions against him, of being vulnerable to false complaint weeks after he succeeds in getting laid... because the layee finds out who he is!  Remarkable.. and pure madness.

No Proof Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt In ANY Allegation - NO CONVICTION IN ANY WAY!

Enough of this skirting around the rules of Law by abusing 'civil findings' and 'feelings' as the yardstick, and getting people sanctioned for life over flimsy allegations never proven.

A reign of terror... with every single person at some time potentially available for this public crucifixion.

For the women who doubt what I said years ago - remove the sword and shield of good men with their feet firmly on the ground of reality from a society - and one day they will come for you as well... and it doesn't take a Tickle to make a Giggle out of that...
