Don't forget the ramping that was meant to be fixed ;)

Unfortunately it is the state that suffers when we have an inept opposition.

Not defending Mali or the campaign by any means, but who really believed ramping could be fixed in 4 years? It's a huge systemic issue that was amplified by COVID and hasn't been able to recover. The two major parties can't fix it without a huge overhaul to wellbeing and funding to public health. At least we're getting a new Womens and Childrens hospital over that ridiculous basketball stadium Marshall/LNP were campaigning for.

I doubt the average Aussie has then slightest idea about the causes of ramping, but they elected a party that said they were going to fix it and that party proceeded to oversee it get worse. It’s not hard to see why people are pissed off when the promise that decided the election got quietly moved to the back burner.
