Bringing back candidates like Tim Wilson is not going to help Dutton
Well Labor MP's have vague ideas of what's right but seem disconnected from the ground which is starting to show. I know for a fact the answer to our times is not Dutton, he's not even pretending to do anything of substance, but unless the ALP open up pre-selections or an alternative party steps up then we are in a situation where the Libs are in with a shot...I'm not convinced they win but I can see them winning back three or so teal seats and a smattering across WA, SA, and VIC. Labor could pick up a couple in Tassie and Queensland.
Tempted to break away and start a left-leaning workers' party that's not full of lawyers, political staffers and consultants...reckon that could catch on?

If other parts of the world are going to make us look like tiny fish in an ocean by their contributions towards climate change getting worse then it doesn't make sense for Australia to hobble our own economy with less reliable and or more expensive energy or transport.
Pragmatically, short of going to war over it there won't be broad change globally. We need to make our nation more robust. We need to build a system of infrastructure that doesn't rely on imports, can both handle extreme weather events and extreme drought.
Build giant concrete bunkers with nuclear power plants making clean drinking water when demand is low. We can't afford to have the solar and wind systems fall over when the inevitable increasing severe weather hits.
A little bit from column (a), (b) and (c). Regardless of if climate change is real, the current net zero proposals and other economic and energy hamstringing required by countries like Australia are no solution to it.
With the Taliban potentially committing to net zero, I remain hopeful for our future.
Labor no chance in QLD to collect seats.
Labor won't gain any seats in Victoria either. They're very close in margin on a lot of LNP seats, but I doubt they'll get more than they got against Morrison.
They'll need big swings to lose a lot of seats, the LNP have done themselves some damage, but I'm confident it will be a decent swing.
Higgins and McEwen they might lose to LNP, LNP might pick up some teals too.

Unfortunately she has shown she is only capable of empty platitudes and has no back bone. Needs to find a job in the uni sector as can't cut it in a leadership role. Being better than the non event that was Marise Payne isn't good enoughFairly or no, the only positive memory I’ll have of this government is Penny Wong’s regional diplomacy mopping up tour, which was a ‘first hundred days’ honeymoon thing.
2023 and 2024 be like

I think ALP will lose a few in WA , might take Dickson and win back from Greens. Libs will lose some to teals. Hung parliament with Teals supporting Labour

The Taliban could pull off net zero because the Afghan economy almost doesn't exist in the first place. It's just as poor as a sub-Saharan African country And that's partly the Taliban's doing.
Forcing us to move our election because they want to go in March might piss a few people off. Just unneeded aggravation.

It was big when our allies were spending over 10 times their usual GDP there
On the other hand what’s the climate effect of Israel and Ukraine?

Dutton will get in the same way Trump did. Cost of living.
No major party has the guts to reign in corporate greed and so governments will continue to cycle.
This is late stage capitalism.

The "Libs are always better with the economy" line and variations of that are being road tested right now as if the Morrison and Howard governments aren’t the highest taxing and spending government's in Australian history.
But people are often gullible, and are subject to a Coalition-friendly media landscape. People are also hurting. At least some will turn to the Coalition because of the idea that things were better under it, despite the unlikelihood of Dutton making the life of any non-wealthy person better.
The best-case scenario I can see is that Labor plays a very successful seat-by-seat defence game like Morrison did in 2019, and sneaks in with another majority government or only needing the support of one or two crossbenchers.
In the worst-case scenario, Labor loses pretty much all of its gains in Western Australia because that was the high-water mark, loses a bunch of seats in the eastern states due to cost of living, and pretty much all the teal seats revert to Liberal. Dutton squeaks in with a small majority.
The teal independents defending their seats might be the key.
