The video creator boils Jordies views down to, Labor won’t change the system, they just want to be in the drivers seat of the shitshow. A slightly unfair take, because the creator doesn’t look at Jordies’ reasoning.

Jordies’ reasoning is usually, Labor don’t have the power to get rid of the elite, everytime Labor try, they’re crushed. This is because being the party of government isn’t the only centre of power in this country. And while its very strong its a very transient form of power. Therefore Labor have to play ball to a certain extent with these other power centres, then setting up the best direction politically possible in the time they have.

Theres other systems Australia could move to, where power is distributed differently, as the video creator obliquely suggested. But the creator has an underlying assumption those undiscussed alternative systems would, in fact, be better for the country. And most importantly, that the Australian people would see and appreciate the benefits, readily agreeing.

But his critiscisms of Jordies are very valid. If i decide to listen I always take Jordies and crew as partially informed commentators, and not to be relied upon for your base of information on a subject.

Anyone who gets their house fire bombed for exposing corruption is deserving of respect in my book.

he gives me ick, dunno why.

i watched him as a teen growing up in regional nsw, now i just see him as a labor shill.

not to say he doesnt do good work sometimes, his journalistic standards are extremely high, especially compared to most other media. just gives me bad vibes…
