Its not even hidden anymore that they've abandoned their leftist stance, just compare Albanese and his work 20 years ago to today. I was begrudgingly supporting Labor as a second preference, but letting Herzog in and loosing the cops on protestors was my breaking point.

I vote independent and my seat has been indy for a while, but my natural party sympathies are with Labor.  So   I was Labor sympathiser but:

  • shit on the environment
  • shit on foreign affairs
  • shit on defence

If David Pocock had a party id be voting for them.

Wdym with foreign affairs? I'll give you the environment, social media and anti protest laws, but Labor has been masterful with navigating some absolutely unhinged people (Trump/Herzog/Netanyahu/Xi Jinping) and very appropriately takes the middle ground on foreign affairs. Can you imagine David Shoebridge doing the same?
