@Tooden@aus.social Absolutely. While we rightly bang on about how disappointing the uniparty is on pretty much everything, and warn against the siren song of a PHON alternative, we really must hold up the good bits to be celebrated, defended and extended. Legacy systems left to us by prior generations. Almost like giving credit where credit is *due when they don't f*ck things up! While remaining realistic. If Public Health, the PBS, Public Education, libraries, public transport, bike paths, et al did not currently exist there is zero chance the current regime would legislate them into existence. None. Zip. Nada. They would be 'reckless spending'. If a progressive alternative is anything, IMHO, is nothing if it is not optimistic and positive. While being 'Conservative' (in a weird, left handed way) via deterrence to precedent, Rule of Law, and humanitarian principles kind of way. Old fashioned kindness. The 'fair' go, not the 'equal' go. Etc etc.
