The opposition is grappling with crafting new policies, especially immigration, ahead of Christmas. Sussan Leys upcoming policy is expected to emphasize core principles, but the question remains whether it will include specific numbers and details. The opposition faces a challenge in balancing being specific enough to be taken seriously without making the policy outdated quickly. Additionally, theres debate on the robustness of the oppositions overall policy approach, given the political difficulty of taking away existing benefits and current cost-of-living pressures. The government is also planning significant savings from the public service in its next budget, posing risks for any opposition proposing savings or tax increases. Meanwhile, the Liberals decisions on industrial relations, an area Sussan Ley has addressed, will be closely watched. Tim Wilson, the opposition spokesman for industrial relations, is working on a new approach focusing on mobilizing employers and creating a new playing field for industrial relations, with the integration of artificial intelligence as a potential opportunity for small businesses.
