Eh, they've not been too bad. They've generally got things done. Haven't been massive reformers, (tried but failed and backed off the Voice reform). But they've put in place a lot of slow burn policies and projects that will probably be more valued in years to come than they are now.

I think the voters of Australia themselves need to wake up. We need to vote in our collective best interests if we want big change. Instead it seems a scare campaign about an issue no further than the end of noses sinks a government these days. There seems little big picture thinking by our well educated nation's people.

Also the Reserve bank really needs to start copping it harder, i question whether they are abrogating their 3rd duty to use their powers to contribute to the economic prosperity and welfare of the people of Australia. Their decisions lately enrich some people, (the already wealthy and asset rich), to impoverish the rest of the people.

The stresses caused by this cost of living crisis are definitely contributing to the lack of big picture thinking. How can you look at the horizon when your face is in the mud? Problem is, the longer this problem and its societal and institutional reactions goes on, the more time and opportunity is lost.
