@andyjennings ta heaps for sharing it, Andrew, it was a fascinating read. it does however still dismay me. Kos emphatically & i suspect quite persuasively argues that Labor is still safe from this horrific rwnj wave, but tbh these days i don't care much for labor at all. i want heapsa peeps previously voting labor, to swing instead behind the Greens. Kos' article does not mention such possibility at all, & each time he spoke of those various demographics remaining locked onto labor, i cringed, coz if true then they're not gonna go Greens, & thus all labor's recent decades of timidity, neoliberalism, & capitulation will be rewarded not punished, meaning they'll have no impetus to change. sigh.

@MsDropbear42 yes. I think his history as a labor party strategist leaks in here

@MsDropbear42 @andyjennings If they get an impetus to change, I'd rather that it not come from One Nation.

That won't drive the outcome we're looking for. Instead I'd hope to see Green and Teal efforts giving Labour something to worry about on their side of Kos' wall.

@MsDropbear42 @andyjennings Though admittedly, Labor's newfound zeal for reforming negative gearing and CGT is probably at least part inspired by seeing their erstwhile rival fall to popular anger.

So there are probably some complexities to take into account here.
