Pragmatism, that close relative of the widely revered common sense, is a prized characteristic in Australian politics, especially on the non-Labor side | OPINION by ShaunCarney1 AusPol

In any case, with a tiny-target strategy driving his leadership, Albanese has rendered Labor so marginal to the daily back-and-forth of politics and policy discussion that there’s little he could say to grab the nation’s attention this week.

It picks winners, nominating six sectors – resources and critical minerals, food and beverages, medical products, recycling and clean energy, defence and space – that it will favour with $1.3 billion in grants. Several hundred million dollars will go into trying to strengthen supply chains. It’s hard to know whether this latest program will achieve what it sets out to. The time frame for its application – 10 years – is long, and when you divide $1.3 billion by six, it’s not much money per sector.

Morrison even engaged in some critical self-reflection last week when he unveiled his new program, volunteering that industry policy too often in the past had operated in a siloed framework, cut off from other policies.

ShaunCarney1 High income tax cuts are pragmatic- or are they really just ideological.

ShaunCarney1 Pretty hard to deny it

ShaunCarney1 So great that Ninefax is bringing back the comedy section. 😂🤣

ShaunCarney1 '...he (morrison)will do whatever it takes. The policy, with some exception, is a lift of the broad architecture that Labor put together in the lead-up to last year’s election.' lol. fake sincerity, lies & hypocrisy = very good, pragmatic ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

ShaunCarney1 🤣😩
