Opinion | Bored by the campaign? The parties are prisoners of stereotype

Have you found yourself wondering why the election campaign is so dull so far, if it’s caught your attention at all? True, you wouldn’t call either of the two main leaders charismatic. But it’s more than that. Each party has taken a technical approach to the structure of its campaign, and enacted it mechanically.

The big policy announcements were pretty junky. Morrison’s jobs “pledge” is just a projection based on normal growth trends, as economists pointed out. Albanese tried to turn an economic fail into an integrity win. He quickly admitted error – “I’m human” – and obliquely attacked Morrison: “I won’t blame someone else, I will accept responsibility.”Question: Does Albanese’s blunder change the course of the election? Answer: It depends on what he does next.

The Liberal Party’s director, Andrew Hirst, on Friday morning told the leadership group that internal tracking polling showed that the salience of the economy as a campaign issue had risen during the week, and that doubts about Albanese’s leadership had risen with it. The national government is not the main supplier of health and education; that responsibility overwhelmingly sits with the states in our federal arrangements. Labor holds power at the state level more often, in more states, for this exact reason. The key state-level services just happen to be in Labor’s perceived areas of strength.

And why not? The Liberals are vulnerable on both. Their core competencies are perceived, not empirical. All of the party stereotypes, Labor and Liberal, contain some elements of truth, but don’t actually need to be evidence-based. They’re more faith than fact.

You mean the stereotypes that you keep insisting on, because you’re too lazy and too disdainful of your readers to offer anything but bs headlines and clickbait journalism? Those stereotypes?

Do you seriously expect people to purchase a subscription to read this drivel?

You spelt media wrong

Poor old CluelessAlbo

ScottMorrisonMP 'I am accountable for what we invest in' .. $5.5B spent on not delivering submarines, while 50% of ALL aged care residents were malnourished (Royal Commission).. an ACTIVE DECISION to starve grannies, and divert funding to not getting Subs (getting nothing)

Campaigns should be boring. They should focus on policy details.

Bored by how the media think it’s like covering the footy and dumbing down voters. Inane and vacuous coverage just regurgitating press releases from the two major party’s. Lazy journalism. AusVotes22 ThisisNotJournalism

Referendum required on the HI VIS jacket colour........yellow not

Bored by the media? Hell yes. Pathetic, biased, slanted, one eyed, trivial, amateurish, copy paste churnalism that is an insult to the profession and to its audience If the public is bored with the campaign after one week it's a statement on the lack of quality in your reporting

Snake oil salesmen.

Joyce says election campaign so far proves Labor is 'pretty damn incompetent'Barnaby Joyce insists the election is 'not a popularity contest' when pressed about his Scott Morrison texts as he addressed Labor's blunders on the first official week of the election campaign. I’d say it’s a contest to find the least objectionable outcome. When is 'Sly News' going to man up and ACTUALLY INTERVIEW ALP persons when talking about them. This narrative of others speaking FOR ALP candidates by the persons OPPOSING them... is propaganda. It is also...childish. But... if you think your audience are children... continue. I know who SCOTT MORRISON is… 💁🏼‍♀️🇦🇺🚩👇🏻
