Greens and One Nation both opposing so I expect to see the majors both lose primary votes.

You don't think the LNP will point out how the ALP have stuffed the implementation when it turns out that everyone hates it?
That's the beauty of being in opposition. You can support a policy which is unimplementable and when it goes **** up, you can point out that the Government is a shambles. Probably even talk tough like "We'd actually make Meta and TikTok do it properly" without saying how.
In 6 months, everyone is going to hate this policy. But the LNP will have a much easier time just saying "well, the ALP stuffed it up, we're going to focus on Cost of Living" and everyone will be supportive.
It's November and an election is due in the next seven months. I don't think there will be an implementation before the election, and that will be reasonable.
And as I have said many times, it is not an Opposition's job to fix the Government's mistakes for them. To see how things would be fixed, you have to vote for the Opposition. There are very few advantages of being in Opposition, but you have identified one of them.
To be fair, he's saying yes to the ALP's only current piece of legislation. And the ALP could easily deal with minor parties if their intention was to make things better rather than just stay in power.
It's not like the ALP have a lot of policies to oppose at the moment. What's being held up? The housing subsidy to overseas developers?
This is the most appalling part of all of this... The government has had numerous opportunities to do something meaningful in this space and simply chooses to bury its head in the sand and deny there is an issue. But they're hellbent on making every single person verify their identity to use social media.
No doubt he will, as he is entitled to do. It's all part of the political game.
The ALP are making their own bed here, they could have left this issue well alone and let the LNP do something about it if they go into power.

I'm no fan of the Murdoch rags, but Rudd is a slimeball who is scrambling to pretend he doesn't hate Trump in order to protect his job... He should just cop his medicine.How newscorp look snitching on rudd

Can't argue that, idiot made it worse by deleting them.
Like, McCheese could hear a fart in his general direction from the other side of the country, i'm sure he's seen the tweets but newscorp just make themselves look even bigger weasels then they usually do.
Of course they milked it for all it's worth, sadly we can't expect any different. But he really is a dumb campaigner for giving them the ammunition.

You know that Aus Politics is in shambles when Greens and One Nations are in agreement on something.

What an idiot comment from Albo on the Rudd / Trump matter. We don’t need Trump further infecting our election next year. Get rid of Rudd quietly and don’t say anything ffs.

Perhaps surprising but the Coalition are in agreement that the US doesn't dictate our ambassadorial appointments. Of course you need someone that will work with the new administration but how do you think Trump would react if we told him to get rid of his ambassador because we don't like him.
That said, anyone know what Julia's doing? The irony would be delicious.

Anything to avoid having Dutton as our PM and I’m happy.
So abolish elections? You did say "anything".

Yet we had the ALP oppose everything, complain about everything in opposition and in government they’ve done nothing it fix any of it!
It appears Albo only has the I’m not Dutton strategy as he’s done nothing to trumpet as his government’s achievements. Then again, he only got elected on the I’m not ScoMo platform, didn’t actually promise anything except a failed referendum.
Was just looking at that
I suspect punters can see a worldwide formline of incumbents getting torched by the electorate for inflation/cost of living
It's almost as if he got spooked by the Voice result and now is too scared to do anything.

It’s still a tough ask for Dutton to get in the lodge. He’ll now be managing expectations on his side
