- fail to undertake the desperately needed critique of the AUKUS deal - cave in to the fossil fuel industry to the detriment of positive action on climate change - ignore urgently needed tax reform in favour of tinkering at the edges with the Stage 3 tax cuts - continue to underfund public schools and hospitals (and I would add tertiary education) - force those not in paid employment - the aged, the physically and mentally ill, the unemployed seeking work, the broken people incapable of work - to exist at or below poverty level.

Weep, Australia! We could be a great nation. But right now, we are not.
