There is definitely that perception of ‘being too oppositional’ unfortunately

There are definitely a lot of people who say that online. But I don't think I've seen any evidence to support the claim that it had a significant effect at the election. I haven't seen evidence to oppose that claim either, but that's my point...we're lacking in real data.

Maybe that’s just a WA thing

WA Labor definitely seems like the worst version of Labor when it comes to the environment...(NSW Labor is the worst in pretty much every other way, from what I've seen) But the federal party kowtows to their WA colleagues far too often. Remember when Plibersek had a deal for some climate policy with the Greens, only for Albanese to come in and destroy the deal, at the request of the WA Premier?
