One Nation on the rise driven by the Opposition’s incompetence

Will these laws make it safer for Jewish Australians? If we can’t enforce the laws we have, why would you think more laws are going to make a difference? Has anything this government done worked for the better?

Which is the framing that would have turned this debacle for human rights into a debacle for the government. It would have shown that the opposition has more than tactics, that they have strategy. That they can avoid the difficult areas and zero in on issues that unite their base and show the weakness of the government.

Instead they have allowed themselves to be sucked into the government’s narrative with only some poor victories achieved in making the bill less bad.

Less bad isn’t what people on the right are looking for, which is why they are turning to One Nation.

All of which suggests we need a revolution inside the Liberal Party, or a completely new party of government. I can’t see that revolution happening, so it will have to be a new party of government.

All the while our situation continues to deteriorate right across the board.
