I am not sure of the specific factions and all their members Union affiliations. just know that Labor have been led by a very strong Labor Left Premier who has championed numerous progressive policies.jo172 wrote:morell wrote:jo172 wrote:morell wrote:Welp, democracy at work.

All the best to the new Marshall government. I was thinking that there is a whole swathe of people under 30 that have never had a conservative state government. Will be interesting to see how they like it.
Look at the way the ALP has governed, particularly things like sentencing reforms.
The government will not turn any more conservative. Particularly given the vanquishment of Bernardi
They'll certainly be more conservative than a left controlled Labor. If they deliver on some of their election promises and policies, it'll be a significantly more conservative state environment than a generation has ever experienced, at least.
Funny the things it impacts though. As I was walking out of the cinema I was contemplating how it might impact me. First thing was - I am line for a promotion at work, but it means giving up tenure and taking a 3 year contract. If the Liberals pass rate capping, it'll land right about then. I'll be noping out of that one thank you very much.
Left controlled Labor?
Owned and operated by the SDA. The same SDA that opposes gay marriage and abortion.
The SDA is about Bernardi level of social conservatism. Google what Don Farrell actually believes
A Liberal government will see a shift away from that. I don't think we'll ever see a full tilt crazy right Government (for too long anyway) but it'll be a change for lot of people. At a macro level, simple things like building a bunch of stuff with the public purse, will see a correction.
