the issue here is there is a fair chance people will lurch right not leftThe UK election showed that the 10% who do care, really do care. Pro-Palestine Independents (single issue candidates) won 6 seats and the Greens went from 1 to 4.
My counterpoint is that even if the majority of people support Israel, most of them are the ones who don't actually care. They just have a basic opinion formed from the Australian media stories. The 10% who actively care will campaign, support, join parties, quit the ALP (if they're not kicked out first) over it. The 10% who care are 10x more likely to be pro-Palestine than Pro-Israel.
I honestly can't work out why Albanese is going to take a hit on this hill for Netanyahu who nobody likes, even his own electorate. It's worse than taking a hit over Trump, who at least has some influence over Australia's economic performance.
not on Palestine but on other issues
when polling has people saying they think the coalition would do more to help people with cost of living thats a big issue for labor come the election
cost of living is going to be an issue and a lot of people would die before voting left of labor which is what Dutton and co will be banking on
Gen X and boomers moving right not left
