Nothing can stand between Labor and Progressive Reform except Labor!
"There is no need to be scared anymore." - @richarddenniss.bsky.social
The Liberals and the right-wing media have shown how little their influence is. The only thing that can hold back progressive reform is a lack of ambition.

Nothing stands the way of Labor and ambitious, progressive reform

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

A gentle reminder: we have failed to enact the single most ambitious, best-case scenario for emissions.
All of the rest remain up for grabs: and we will absolutely 'fail to stop' these as well, if we widely adopt the fatalist framing

Labor's safeguard mechanism is clearly ineffective at reducing real carbon emissions. It's a mandated greenwashing scheme.
