Yeah that seems a valid observation. If I had to use two words to sum up the Albo years so far I think it would probably be "a bit disappointing". Which is still a lot better than the LNP were promising.

But then I'm not in NSW and I must admit what I hear coming out of NSW is worrying - protest clampdowns, police effectively putting an end to a lot of festival culture by charging enormous amounts and illegally strip-searching teens. Minns seems like a right arsehole.

Cook's a right arsehole too, mind, but more in the "Sell everything out to the mining corps, environment be damned" way than the authoritarian way.
