Australian voters: Why expect Labor to fix a decade of neglect, cuts, and privatisation in under three years? Many policies take time to show results. Yet, there’s little criticism of the former government, despite their role in causing and worsening these issues. Why the double standard?

When Labor’s in power the media and the public are highly critical and negative towards them as a ruling party. During the Liberals decade tenure, the media is silent or positive towards the LNP.
