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.
Puhleeeeze, the Age. There is the history of the past 3 years to talk about, and policies to intelligently dissect. Why do you view your readers as fools?
The what now
Give me a frigging break
The coalition fits the 'nasty and dishonest' template. If you associate that with fathers, then it's an issue between you and your therapist rather than the basis for a political analysis.
Oh for god's sake - Peter Hartcher - first quoting silly Fukuyama on insiders, now even sillier pseudo Freudian analysis in theAge. All you're doing is showing that like the LNL, you've got nothing to offer (other than debt & debauchery of democracy in the LNP's case).
The Coalition fits the abusive dad profile, and Labor the abused mum. Dad gaslights and lies about mum to the children, and they’re too immature/naive to see the truth. Mum keeps her head down as much as possible, to present a small target.
Someone has drugged your Easter Eggs!
The Coalition fits the 'pervert' template, and Labor the 'lock them up' formula
Has someone checked in at The Age? Is everyone ok there? It's ok to ask for help guys, particularly around holidays.
huh? the age really has fallen in journalistic standards since costello took over hasnt it
pathetic
What on earth are you talking about
This is horrifying, delete your account
As a father I find this deeply offensive. Don’t compare me to the LNP, Peter Hartcher. Pull your head in. I realise that with your neck that takes extra effort, but sometimes that bit extra is what is required.
Why The Age is now mostly only fit to line the bottom of bird cages.
Australia’s mainstream media has successfully modeled the ‘weird smelly uncle’ stereotype. auspol
UTTER
This is just batshit crazy stuff.
This is the dumbest title line ever.
To think I actually thought The Age was decent when I was younger smh. This is trash on the level of an obscure blog post from the mid 2000s lmao
Incorrect, albo fits the daddy title way more 😳 🥵 🔥 🔥 🔥
Vote no main parties Labor or libs. vote someone else in.
What the fuck is this shit?
Infantile. Er, guys. Just a thought. The liveable planet the IPPC say we are on a firm track to losing, its the one you are standing on. Like, the lack of future for our species includes your life too. And your kids. Deep breath, focus. PutLPNLast
What in Zoolander’a world is this? ausvotes
The shite you write. 🤣
A drunk daddy that beats their kids, maybe
Does that make ONP & UAP the crazy, racist, conspiracy sprouting, redneck uncle that everyone tries to avoid?
What a load of unmitigated shite.
Who creates te stereotypes? Oh. That would be the media.
Why would you make us picture Scott Morrison as 'daddy', what's wrong with you? And also what's with the 1950s gender roles? Did you write this article for boomers? Oh wait, I just answered my own question.
I suppose the Nats would be one's drunken great-uncle at Christmas lunch.
UwU daddy LNP
I would of thought Scumo was more the CREEPY Uncle type🥴
No, actually the coalition fits the shitheadbully & corruption templates. Vote LNPLast. Federal ICAC now! AusVotes22 AusVotes2022 AusPol2022 LNPfail
What are you guys on? Is it bring your child to work day and put them in charge? 😂😂
Scummo won't be the daddy in jail ... ICAC time!!
Black and white limited thinking abilities here.
Get in the bin! 🤮🤮🤮
This is beyond pathetic
True and Also becoming Very Evident to the Nation that Albo is Definitely No Leader.
Bored because the media treat us like idiots and decide against holding the PM to the scrutiny he deserves, after all his failures. Campaigning isn't a reset button. Bloody hopeless media, the lot of you.
That's funny I had 'nanny' in mind for both of them.
Who wrote this? How obscure
If ScottMorrisonMP is the “daddy” he’s the father that everyone HATES spends the weekly shopping money on Corruption Blows the Bill money gambling with his mates Porter & Tudge & stopping at the Pub to get blind drunk with his mates the ThisisNotJournalism AusVotes2022
Sexist, obsolete stereotypes are not helpful - never have been, never will be. Demeaning work from to publish this childish interpretation. Not sure my subscription is going to survive this election.
Pushing rigid gender stereotypes? Seriously? The quality of journalism in The Age continues to plummet.
What drivel
Oh daddy
What the fuck are you talking about?
Are you trying to tell us daddy's lie more often?
It's bad enough someone penned this. Then an editor at 9fax actually pressed 'publish' and not 'delete'.
A senior political journalist put their name to thi article! Wow! Just wow!
Same old spin doctor promise the world deliver nothing especially the corruption commission that was promised we should have a referendum on this bet you it passes.
Wtf?
