Perhaps labour should take a leaf from Arthur Sinodinos who was noting after Libs got up last night that the Liberals would have to canvass those Labour voters in Qld to work out their concerns and issues.
Speaking personally, I find that Labour has an arrogance regarding their policies and not caring what people on the ground think- they have lost sight that they work for the people and are trustees of our money.
No Penny - listen- a lot of Australians did not fall for the fear campaign, they considered the policies and did not like the deflationary asset redistribution agenda that your party was pushing.
Furthermore- to ask voters to vote for them when they were going to spend our money on a massive expense (climate change) when that policy was not spelt out in detail and no costings-really-....who would ask a builder to build an extension (not detailed) and with builder not providing costings- simply access to your open ended line of credit.
Penny Wong and her ilk need to get off the arrogance stool and listen to the Australian's concerns, aspirations etc.
But of course it was all Clive Palmer and his negative campaign that lost Labour the election  |
There was a lot of arrogance from her and Tanya Plibersek, refusing to concede.
The ALP is in an interesting situation now, they've been pushing the gender equality wheelbarrow for a long time now, consistently taking pot shots about the lack of women in the LNP.
Tanya Plibersek is the deputy leader AND a woman, she is the next in line to become the leader of the ALP theoretically.
Are they going to make her the next leader and back their gender equality statements?
Or maybe Albo who is more popular with the public - but a bloke?
