What’s Albanese’s diagnosis of this problem? Beyond the Bill factor, now resolved? Labor is seen as the better party on health care and education. Service delivery in these areas is chiefly a state function. But while these are vital federally, they are not the main game. National elections must be fought and won on the national economy, in the Albanese analysis.
This is where he intends to put Labor’s emphasis. Or, in the retail rhetoric, it’s all about jobs. As he put it in his first press conference as leader: “Labor supports economic growth as the core part of our agenda. Because jobs are always first, second, and third priority of this great party. Not just any job – good jobs, with fair pay and fair conditions.”
The new Labor leader intends to stick doggedly to the mantra – “jobs, jobs, jobs”.
One of the reasons Labor did so poorly at the polls was that it lost itself among its many messages. Was the election a referendum on wages, a fair go for all, a climate change choice, was it about putting health first, was it about inequality, was it about a better deal for the younger generation?
It was, according to its own hydra-headed rhetoric, all of the above. An impossibly chaotic campaign message.
