The Liberal-National coalition lately has been showing signs of electoral recovery. Malcolm Turnbull’s and Scott Morrison’s budget was generally well-received. The government is finally talking policy and ideas that matter to ordinary Australians. Labor and Bill Shorten are floundering in the wake of four by-elections caused by the citizenship fiasco (plus one due to a Labor MP quitting for family reasons); by-elections Mr Shorten once gave a rolled-gold guarantee were unnecessary.
