Yes but the average Australian makes up most of the voting based so it seems bizarre he would make himself deliberately unpopular.

It's always weird seeing politicians living in bubbles and both sides do it. For example labour drank the cool aid when they kept pushing the voice when it was obviously going to fail hard.

The average Australian won't read past the headline.

People have short attention spans and rely on minimal information.

The voice was an absolute bungle by Labor. But if that's the worst thing they've done it pales in comparison with the decade of LNP fuckery.

Sadly it will be in the media and people will focus on it.

"Always back self interest". If people see a juicy tax cut they won't say no to it just because Dutton is crying.

Yeah they will. Contrarian polticis is definitely a thing.

Someone might be better off under Labor but will vote LNP cause Labor = communism

I want to believe that's a minority of people in Australia.
