This is a SubStack post from
. He/she describe themselves as:And old school Labor Dry with a hard head and a soft heart. A believer in agency and aspiration with a growth first approach that gives the licence to the safety net and support for the less needy.
I found this post both incisive and depressing.
I had thought/hoped that the larger numbers for Labor, and the high potential for a third term might have given them the courage to do some policy good. But from LaborDry’s analysis - not looking likely.
Depressing.
Ahh "Aspiration". They all bullshit on that don't they. So does media. The only aspiration they give a shit about is their own. It should read AWAC, Aspiration With A Cap. You can aspire to own a VERY modest house, a small car (bonus point if EV) a union superfund that one day pays just enough so you qualify for Age Pension and a current wage just high enough that you can pay your union fees but cant afford Sky News. If you happen to jump into the 2nd top tax bracket then you are no longer a "Working Australian" but now you are "Wealthy'" "Rich" and are "in a position" to afford stuff...like tax increases.
