Scomo is a political dead man walking and the news that day was mostly about his failure to get legislation through parliament. Another failure would have highlighted this more, potentially even bought down the government.
Shorten/Labor let it through because they support it and won't look at it next year. We judge them on their actions not their vague promises.
- ux-app 8y ago>Shorten/Labor let it through because they support it yep fair comment, and fwiw I agree with you, but I take issue with people who think it's reasonable for an opposition party to take sides on a complex technical issue that unfortunately boils down to "should we allow ISIS to use whats app?" argument. It's unwinnable. I hate it, but I can't fault them for taking a pragmatic stand. It's a lose-lose for them to block the bill. How could they realign the narrative to make it palatable to joe average brickies apprentice? Sorry, Not possible.
