Too many still trying to shift the Albanese govt towards a progressive reform agenda.
Without realizing that Albo and his cabal are there not to challenge the status quo, but to protect it on behalf of vested interests.
When Albo said "no-one left behind", he meant corporate donors.

It's not at all staggering just how authoritarian, right-wing, gaslighty and pro-establishment this ALP government is. That's long been the trajectory. What's staggering is that so many people refuse to see it.
