The Australian right has been taken over by idiotic schoolkids

Will the Labor Party have you back, Jason?

She's been on YT since 1007 and now has 157k suscribers. That's mediocre. She is interviewed on Sky News often enough and writes for the Spectator. Don't know how she does the latter because I'd be smacking Rowan Dean in the gob every day.

Not sure what Jason is getting at but perhaps he is suggesting the Australian right had more intellectual depth in the past. Even the Cat is much shallower than in years gone by.

Its a funny way that these parties can kind of flip from one point of view to its opposite. And the stupid monster can migrate around like he was a separate spirit, independent of the groups he moves between.

The labour party was a party of pretty good sense in the 80's and early 90's. Things could flip back and they could become sensible again. I mean they did make really bad mistakes back then its true. But they were logical and well-meaning mistakes. Even if Mark Latham is a bit temperamentally a loose canon he appears to float to places where at least there is one or two reasonable people to talk too. He might be the stupid monsters reasonable spirit-twin. I could imagine joining the Labour party. Not this decade but perhaps if they lose their insanity in the 2030's. Anything is possible.

It's possible. Albo is a stand in. Plibersek is the likely future leader. Apparently she is a bright spark but I've heard that about so many politicians I no longer take it as a given. Globalisation is taking a beating these days, people are looking for alternatives; especially young people. Free trade is obviously important but some economists develop an almost religious zeal for the models. They seem to mistake the map for the territory and fail to appreciate that nations are not just about economic models.
