Jack Waterford sums up Albanese’s failings comprehensively. Dutton is his own walking advertisement of
awfulness. So ….Questions to ask before voting:
What’s behind each leader? Policies, values, talent? How long have current politicians been in office?
Time for generational change, new ideas, new perspectives?
The National Party? Enough said for the P&I audience!
Would Labor or LNP work better in a hung parliament?
How pragmatic, consultative, flexible are The Greens? The community independents? The remaining odds and sods?
Have these various cross-benchers been cooperative or obstructionist during the current parliament? What have they contributed?
How ‘and why’ did cross-benchers vote as they did on various pieces of legislation?
Placing the field …
Community independents first, absolutely – the current crop impress on all levels.
Greens and the rest – depends who else stands. The Greens – too inflexible, too often.
Of the Big Two – Labor before Liberal – more talent and integrity. Some, if not a lot.
A new Labor leader would help but … a remaining unknown before the election.
NOT VOTING IS NOT THE ANSWER.
