Reposting to show that the #auspol hive mind is much more useful than Australia's journalist class, who are only starting to notice patterns that were obvious months ago
Election prediction:
Trump will have caused so much chaos and destruction in America by the time of the Australian election that Dutton will be sunk by gluing himself to Trump
Add in one or two rate cuts and an effective Dutton=Trump ad campaign, and Labor will win a slim majority govt

- Labor can't communicate well and misunderstands the public
- Labor has ignored the severe issues (housing crisis, cost of living, corporate price gouging)
- The public loathes Dutton and thinks Albanese is a weak coward
- Teals and indies are pivotal
