I see the polls changing but I'd really like to know what's going on. Why is Labour popularity increasing? What are the issues?

Here’s a quick breakdown on the main policies of the two main parties.

Cost of Living:

Both: I’m gonna give you $100 to fuck off

Housing affordability:

Both: we’re going to make it easier for you to get into debt and pay what houses costs these days

Climate:

Labor: renewables are the future until then you get a coal mining approval, you get a coal mining approval, everybody gets a coal mining approval

Liberal: we’re gonna spend untold billions building Nuclear power plants but it will take a very long time so we will just have to maximise fossil fuel profits in the meantime.

The reason Labor is ahead in the polls is mostly because Herr Kipfler’s band of merry morons keep trying to be MAGA lite despite how unpopular it is

Upvoted mostly for 'Herr Kipfler'. :)
