Dutton will be the next prime minister because of cost of living

They don't collect frequent flyer points for Department of Parliamentary Affairs flights. They do collect status credits (which if you get enough of them, you get lounge membership to various levels).

Or Albo can accept some fairly tokenistic perks from a business he'd have a lot of engagement with and everyone can move on with their lives.
Just on Trump, if I was Albanese, I'd be giving him the congratulatory phone call and then leave the rest to the ambassador.
No photo op trips to Washington to kiss the ring. Trump is going to damage relations with the world through isolationism, regardless of whether the PM shleps to DC.
Would be good to actually do a strategic review of our position in the region that isn't reliant on US support.

Having a few conversations with trades on the site i'm managing & i'm trying to tell them how Trump's policies if implemented will reaccelerate inflation. One responded that Trump would have thought of that.
It's all Greek to the average punter.
You can't take too many lessons out of the US election and apply them here. Voluntary voting makes a massive difference. Here a traditionally progressive ALP voter might look at Gaza and give Albo an E and Dutton an F but Albo will still get the vote. Over there, they just won't vote essentially contributing to a swing towards the person they hate more.

There's plenty to change, just not his Qantas memberships or where his holiday houses are. Striving for moralistic perfection is a dead end road when the other side is already markedly worse, just wasting time and energy on things that don't decide electionsYep don’t make any changes, things are going so well

Moralistic perfection?
It’s about taking situations and turning them to your advantage - look like a strong leader, look like you’re in touch (during a bloody cost of living crisis, no less) and make Dutton look like the opposite.
It’s absolute basics if you want to get elected.

Sure. But, you cannot be perceived to be weak on immigration/boarder.

Showing you're in touch is not done by spinning weak gestures. No matter his Qantas membership, Albo is a rich and powerful man and more doors open for him than they do you and I. Everybody knows this to be true because it's the by-product of being a career politician who is now in the top job so why try to hide this? I'm going to go out on a limb and say nobody actually cares about this stuff enough to change their vote, the people that are making the most noise are the ones who are looking for a bit of mud to stick because they will never vote ALP.Moralistic perfection?

Hell, if the last 24 hours have taught us anything all you need to do to show you're in touch is stand on a stage and make some crazy promises. Don't need to explain them, definitely don't need to be doing it tough yourself, just stand under the spotlights and ham it up.
Now he's wasting time on a meaningless, easily avoidable age restriction on social media use which will annoy far more people than it will please.
Why do they insist on spending time doing this meaningless stuff?
They should be spending every week talking about Cost of Living.
It just looks like they're ignoring CoL and focusing on stupid stuff.
Albanese shouldn't host a press conference on anything other than CoL. If they want to announce a social media ban, send out the Communications Minister.
Who is advising these people??
Is one voter going to change their mind at all based on a social media ban? No, only in the broader impression of what priorities are.

This should have been their mantra for all of their first term. Forget anything that can be construed as part of a culture war and focus on the economy.
Pretty much what Dominic Sanderson nailed about the US election is applicable here:
It's not meaningless, it's designed to require social media sites to verify the identity of their users, so that Labor's digital gestapo can attack anonymous people (like us) online who criticize them. It has nothing to do with children's access to media and it is all about limiting free speech. In respect of who is advising them to take this approach? No one, this is their own arrogance, their own evil driving them to this.

Ah the old 4d chess excuse when someone is talking crap
I suspect he is referring to the large percentage of the population that didn't vote.
