Why Albanese is worse than Morrison

It could look that way, especially among the rich who are getting richer. But Albanese's UN-themed corporatism will leave workers worse off and the environment in worse shape.

Logically, why expect anything different?

Read French Professor Thomas Piketty among others. Left parties now represent education and Right parties still represent money. As fellow French Professor Julia Cagé Kvetches suggests, with limited electoral funding and lax private donations, nobody much represents workers. These European (also American) findings hold for Australia.

CagéKvetchesrecommends reserved seats for worker candidates. You could equally say voters need their own Canberra lobby to protect them from overpopulation, and indeed the gas cartel.

Donors and stakeholders will keep pointing at Morrison/Dutton while sugar-coating UN Albanese, because in our uncompetitive markets they'll still be making out like bandits.

On the one hand consider the local realities Albanese ought to be remediating.

As regards the economy, (see above) unnecessary per capita recessions, dismal productivity growth, woke industry policy, job growth is mostly going to migrants and local unemployment will rise. Real wages are depressed and real household income has tanked.

As regards environment, the systematic overpopulation, Potemkin-façade, climate policy, fossil fuels forever, urban-sprawl until the last koala, keen logging and land clearing, native-species crashes, wild-west irrigation and water markets, crazy urban water policy, all continue.

As regards inequality, the top 10% get tax cuts and hogs benefits of growth, sharply unequal schooling and universities, bulk-processing migrants and gouging locals, perennially catch-up infrastructure and services, institutionalised rental/housing unaffordability continue.

On the other hand, consider the globalist dreams - the Albanese dreams. These are Open Borders, Net Zero and identity politics. He was always going to continue Morrison's AUKUS, but has also accelerated our immigration/trade exposure to China and India.

Which hand is pushing down harder on the tiller? What reforms does he want to be remembered for? It's not even close.

Why would Airbus Albo bother about living standards or ecological overshoot when he can crush-load our population, yet be lauded internationally for "pursuing" Net Zero?
