I don’t think Labor can pivot before the next election. The supply side reform needed on housing, energy etc. wouldn’t have an impact within two years. They are locked into the current trajectory.
What you’ll probably see is Labor trying to attack at the next election to try to avoid talking about their own policy, very similar to the Liberals running into 2022.

Looking at the results on primary votes currently Labor is only down 2.3% but the Libs are down 16.6%.
Primary vote for the major parties has been dropping for years so really for Labor it seems in line with the norm, with the greens taking 1.2% of that and likely some other centre or left independents taking a lot of the remaining with a little to ON.
The article points out Mawson, and yeah there’s for sure some swing towards ON from Labor, but labor’s 12.5% loss currently also includes an 8% swing towards greens and legalise cannabis, I don’t think those are ex liberal voters.
