Backed by Climate 200funding, Teals supportclimate-action and anti-corruption.
Heiresses Kate Chaney (WA) and Allegra Spender (NSW) are huge hypocrites on immigrationand housing. Esteeming climate-action, they also endorse open-borders. The immigration deluge gets parked at a safe distance from their ritzy habitats.
David Pocock (ACT) favours"sensible conservation" on immigration. Among 227 federal members and senators, only a tiny minority strongly demands low migration or net-zero rethink. Pocock wouldn't openly consort with them. In woke Canberra, that's a suicide-letter.

Influencers overplaythe Teal-Green differences. More recently however, Teals have started to push for tax reform.

Sure, Australia's still healthy and wealthy, with untold iron and carbon yet to ship. Granted, individual parliamentarians win respect, through hard work for their communities.
But the party "contest" is dispiriting, eying off each other not voters. Platforms drip with indolence and contempt. Revelling in visibly destructive (gas cartel, massive migration) or plainly stupid (supply-side housing, net-zero 2035) solutions.
There's little yearning to sustain the economy long-term, serving communities and containing inequality. Triennially, parties pretend to care. In the other hemisphere however, you can find national polities appearing to attune more to local citizen welfare. Little Denmark and Norway are oft cited, closer to home, consider Japan and Singapore.
Then reconsider our 1970s and 1980s. Bank of Mum and Dad could snaffle housing but local paisanos also had a shot. Intentionally, today's housing goodies are strongly directed towards economic migrants and BMD. So wrong.

Hence my remark, top 20% is the real election winner. As they stoke sectarianism and inequality, their imagined Australia is a socially-just multicultural nirvana ascending to net-zero.
Top 20% claim altruism whilst deriding "hip pocket" concerns of the rest. Ordinary voters are ignorant. Heavens, most lack degrees. How could they begin to fathom our industry-sectoral pathways to net-zero? For the left-elite in particular, ordinary voters are also racist. Flouting high-level directives, they rejected The Voice. If they're struggling now, they deserve it.
Albanese and his Treasurer are apparatchiks, loyal to globalism, donors, and party. Not voters. They talk one-million jobs plus real-wage growth. Walking open borders, the long dive in real-wages, suburban crush-loading, falling living standards, and world-ranked housing unaffordability.
