The ABC can reveal the results of YouGov's latest MRP model, which finds the Peter Dutton-led Coalition would be likely to win about 73 seats if an election was held today.
Apparently not, sadly. I cannot believe people cannot see the parallels, but then the average Aussie probably doesn’t pay any attention to US politics and the Australian coverage (even from the ABC) is not really explaining just how bad things are.
I’m assuming OP is talking about the politicians, not the voters. Labor has been way too conservative around how to tackle the cost of living issues. And that’s causing discontent and a rise in crime too, which gets exploited by the right wing.
A lot of voters will just vote for ‘change’, and don’t dig into the actual politics or policies. I get that you can’t just turn around things on a dime, but it feels like Labor has been more conservative than they could’ve been. And then there’s the CFMEU clusterfuck, which will cause tens of thousands of union members to put Labor last, regardless of who they put first.
And, I’m not sure if it’s just being played up because of the election or what not, there’s just too many stories about cars being stolen by young kids, them getting caught and then be bailed out that same night. So you have that fucking helicopter up there for nothing basically.

It’s still infuriating that there are people who think “Labor isn’t putting out the fire fast enough, so let’s vote for the petrol party”.
