No they were campaigning on the same platform; nationalism and economic rationalism. Of course it's going to resemble the Trump campaign. They will need to campaign on it next time too.I beg to differ, they went Trump marketing from the get go, and just mis-read the room and backed the wrong horse.
The problem is Australian voters are fixated on events in the US and believe the alarmist reporting coming out of the media (America sux and it's Trump's fault). They don't want to believe the mining boom is over and we need to tighten our belts. Labor was able to continue promising that it isn't and we don't. Of course voters prefer that story.
That thread is even shitter than this one.Anyway, you're welcome to continue the conversation in the appropriate thread - freeing up Avenger's Shit List thread for... shit?
