In response to Major YouGov poll has Labor easily winning a majority of seats in election

A new display of courage for the Labor Government

The YouGov poll prediction has been right, with a stunning majority for Labor. The party must not squander the opportunity to do some of the hard things while they have the political capital: recognise Palestine and stop aiding the murders in Palestine, phase in property tax changes, go for a step change in efficiently produced prefab housing, work on an ATSI treaty, move from a monarch, ensure an ombudsman who properly balances their access to expensive legal advice against the legal deficit of most appellants, a more effective and open NACC, end remaining multinational tax avoidance, and inadequate resource royalties.

Strengthen nature positive legislation. Free Daniel Duggan and David McBride and exonerate Richard Boyle. End AUKUS. Fellow readers feel free to add to the list.
