Before his first term Albanese said Labor needed 3 terms in government to make meaningful progress against the catastrophic damage inflicted upon Australia by the Howard-Abbott-Morrison-Joyce faction of the LNP. It looks like he may get that. The ALP split in the 1950s over communism. It kept them out of power for decades afterwards. The LNP is now facing a similar fate, there may be an attempt to kiss and make up before the next election, but the damage seems terminal for now.
