Why do they have their head so far up their ass compared to ACT labor

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Progressive voters = progressive government. They don't have to worry about pissing off conservatives in the ACT, because there are so few of them.

ACT is a territory, therefore can have their own/different laws that exist under the umbrella of federal/ STATE system the rest of Australia falls under

For some unknown reason the parties are swapped in NSW.

For example LNP in NSW would bring in policies that the Labor party would bring in other states, whereas the opposite is true for NSW Labor.

NSW LNP had very good policies like the electric vehicle policy, electric vehicle charging grants, they are the party of infrastructure with the westconnex and metro projects up, Parramatta light rail.

Whereas Chris Minns and Labor I'd actually compare Minns with the onion eater of all people. Very good at cancelling projects because he didn't think of it first and provides no policies or thoughts of his own.

Wanted to cancel the metro, whilst providing nothing in replacement (only saved because the project is too far to be cancelled), too scared to do anything in regards to housing policy, no pill testing is the latest one. Cancelled the ev grants. In fact I'm not sure of anything that they've done through their own policies since they came in. Hopefully an one term government because they seriously lack vision.
