It’s helpful for the Albanese government to have all mainland states in Labor hands – but only up to a point.

Résumé
Key Points: 
  • It’s helpful for the Albanese government to have all mainland states in Labor hands – but only up to a point.
  • In May, the government announced a 90-day review of the $120 billion infrastructure pipeline it inherited from the Coalition.
  • The government’s aim was to reduce the number of projects (many of them small) and rearrange priorities.
  • The political difficulties of abolishing or changing projects, often involving negotiation with states and territories, are obvious enough.
  • The government has received its stocktake, and Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the overall cost of the program has blown out by some $33 billion.
  • Being pushed into minority is something Albanese – a senior figure in the minority Gillard government – would want to avoid at all costs.
  • The challenge of keeping out of minority increases the importance of the “ground game” in Labor’s marginal electorates.
