"Had the major parties met their constituents’ material needs, addressed the fury around price-gouging, fixed housing, and stopped legislating for sectional interests against the national interest, the door would have been closed." Must read from Alex. #auspol

Just wanting to signal boost this and ask you to as well (if you haven't already) This is the sort of thing that engaged progressives can put some momentum behind in conversations w friends/family who are less politically engaged. But it also helps to get the word out on a platform like this.

My research shows *strong* resistance to being forced back into the office. Progressives who talk to friends/family about how this policy would also send a strong signal to the private sector, risking everyone's wfh, will have an interested audience. Don't assume people will hear about it otherwise.
