How is the government travelling?

 On an objective basis their popularity has fallen somewhat but they are still comfortably ahead of the Opposition.

however I want to concentrate on the subjective. 

Overall they are competent. People know inflation was rising before they took office so they are not blamed for inflation and it is now falling.

At this stage we should have some standouts for Ministers who are simply not up to the job. At this stage we do not have any. Certainly Catherine King is unable to tell us why stopping Qatar is in the national interest. Linda Burney is very poor in being point woman on the Voice also. Amanda Rishworth always looks like she will slip up but thus far has not.

By the time of the next election inflation should be in the comfortable zone although people will keep on saying we are in a cost ofl iving crisis! The economy will be on the rise and thus unemployment will be slowly falling from where it had risen to. you would expect renewables to have well over half of electricity production.

So my subjective analysis is the government is travelling well.

I should add Albanese like both howard and Keating before him became leader with a strong reputation as a parliamentary performer. Like both forbears he has not shown it as Prime Minister!
