Unquestionably so. Labor's win was a 'hell, no' overreaction to Dutton's RWNJ tactics. I think the swing towards a stronger crossbench with Climate 200-backed independents will come, but it might take several elections until #auspol learns its lessons.
I wish we had more actual progressive independents like David Pocock to choose from. The teals are a bit too LNP lite for my taste.
Still better than the duopoly. Zali Steggal and Monique Ryan have introduced several ethical private member's bills addressing the shortcomings of the duop, including transparency and truth. Pocock is my hero and I want to see more of his calibre swelling the crossbench.
Yeah. I agree. I was too hopeful at this election. "Hell no" worked to get rid of potato brain, but the backwash of 2nd preferences produced this mistake. And we have to live with it now. Smarter voting next time might result in something a little better
