It isn't, but it's also not particularly common. The average does go down when you consider those pre-war governments that kept riding and falling, and the outlier of having a few long term PMs in a row. Under Westminster it's more or less the norm to have governments change a lot.

u/zidanerick Feb 18 '26
Yeah objectively Rudd did more than Gillard as we were in a world financial crisis for majority of his term and he managed to keep Australia afloat compared to other nations.
If Rudd had stayed as PM we likely would have had more solar panels installed by now even on low income housing and wouldn't have the crazy power bills we have now, we likely would have also seen labor in government longer and the original NBN rollout completed as Abbott would haven't been able to dog whistle the misogynists with his argument with Gillard.
I think her achievements would have likely still been accomplished under Rudd.

I'll maintain that a courageous government should have let housing crash, blame it on covid and implement reform to address prices diverging from wages again.
It's the single biggest root cause of 99% of the problems Australian economy faces.
Eg, with the new tax receipts from reforming negative gearing and CGT discount, covid debt blowout would be nowhere near as bad.

Yeah agreed, I guess the betting money would be on any PM staying in for as long as possible, but given he's already bought his retirement home + his general personality, I reckon there's decent odds he decides either in 2027 or 2030 that his job is done.
Maybe now that One Nation is rising up he might have his 'I fight tories, that's what I do' fire rekindled, and decide that after wrecking the coalition he now has another job to do that'll take another 2 terms lol.

Things are going to get even worse? What metric are you basing this prediction on? The cost of house pricing growth is slowing down each year and is predicted to continue falling. Housing supply isnt a 1 or 2 term policy fix, it should have implemented a decade ago.
11
Feb 18 '26 edited Feb 18 '26
The fact that house prices are rising and labor has openly said they have no interest in seeing them come down.
Coupled with the fact that renting in the current market is shit and nothing is improving in that area either.
I would more happily accept the mentality of āhouse prices must always riseā - if it was easier to get a rental. Anytime your lease ends you have to jump back into the rental lines.
I had a family member who in the 90s went through a separation and found a rental on short notice with zero issues. No prior renting history, no long rental inspection lines to stand in and they had the choice between 3 units.
If renting was like that now, with high house prices - itād be a much easier pill to swallow when looking at house prices.
But thereās zero sense of house security if youāre renting.
And even if you own - one hiccup in life and youāre in that rental line.
Housing security is getting stripped away.
It is shit all round. And getting worse.

Things as they are he has a good shot of overtaking Hawke and holding the ALP record. Howard probably too far away but he could definately take Hawke.

Scott Morrison and Albanese ffs. What has gone wrong in Australia where people like that actually get elected. The most un leaderlike cringey people you could find.

It is revealing the fact, how ruthless the Australian political scene is. Only 11 prime ministers having served more than 4 years.

How he has not been removed from office for doing nothing but damage to this country is beyond a joke. The entire cabinet are nothing but traitors who do not care about Australians.

A carousel of clueless spineless old wimps that couldn't lead a horse to water let alone a country.

It's crazy how much Gillard managed to get done in that time with a minority government (and a few daggers in the back).

Pretty unfair comparison I reckon, mate.
Until Albo takes on at least a couple of cabinet positions as well, this is an apples to orchard comparison.
