The problem with federal Labor is they seem mostly focused on issues well below federal level. Things that would be more appropriate for state or local government to deal with or which arguably aren't really a matter for government at all.

Meanwhile, where's the national vision for a better future? Where's the fix for the real problems facing Australia with shifting export markets, deglobalisation, the housing crisis and so on? That's where the focus ought be, not lightweight identity nonsense.

Anything actually difficult it seems to be the states giving it a crack not the feds.

Federally both sides seem to have a lot in common with musicians who pose in the photo shoot for the album cover, they're in the videos, they're on the concert stage, but they didn't actually play any instruments on the studio recordings. All image no substance. All the real work's done by someone else or it's not done at all.
