What to expect from Labor:
(1) it's a cautious offer but more unified than the Shorten something for everyone grab bag;
(2) I have hope near universal and pay equity could be transformational;
(3) Climate I think could be better than expected because of legislation to establish/ Independent advice + strong pressure from Greens and Teals;
(4) Albanese needs to take on Palasczuk on coal mines;
(5) Social welfare very disappointing and needs budget priority, as does education and health;
(6) Economic crisis more likely than not but Coalition appalling;
(7)/
