Meanwhile, Australia is actually progressing a little bit
If you mean progressing towards a fascist decline sure. We’ve had literal Nazis march in the street alongside politicians who gave their support, an extremely brutal crackdown on the right to protest, right wing parties surging, continued undermining of healthcare and education in favour of the bourgeois, expansion of fossil fuel projects, hardcore backing of ultraright wing militarism in the usa and Japan.

Albo is definitely better than his predecessors
And yet the decline continues! One great man does not determine the course of a nation and albo is not even that.
The US doesn’t really do many good things lately.
