Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
