The pace of new legislation has been far, far higher and the powers granted much more broad under the LNP than it ever was under Labor. Under Labor as well, with most of the bad ideas that they came up with (like the internet filter, that has just recently basically been legislated by stealth as the eSafety act by the LNP) they were able to be persuaded to drop them.
But I'm mostly hoping for a hung parliament to keep them in check (couple more Indies and maybe another Greens MP). Labor's gutlessness in not voting against the LNP's bad laws because they were scared of the media response has shown this is needed. But experience shows that even under a Labor majority we'd be seeing far less of the bad laws coming before Parliament.
