It's nothing that would get me excited. But, putting aside the issue of Brexit and the odd bit of voter suppression, the manifesto looks like something that would send our good old LNP mad with rage. Its really depressing how reactionary and aimless our government is.
edit: the sort of things i am talking about
-30% more funding for the NHS. 40 new hospitals and 50k more nurses (All very necessary for the NHS)
-More funding for hospice care and mental health services. Free hospital parking.
- 2 billion more dollars for social workers
- Increased teachers salaries.
-28 billion dollars in extra school funding
-increasing the minimum wage
-increase the bottom tax free threshold
-"We will keep our existing energy cap and introduce new measures to to lower bills. We will also give the competition and markets authority increased power to tackle consumer rip offs and bad business practices." -They're even out promising the LNP on power bills!
-A couple of hundred million in town urban renewal.
-4 billion dollars in flood protection (more money for natural disaster prevention...hmmmm....)
-Abolishing no fault eviction. Seriously! Abolishing no fault evictions!
-Promises to reduce homeless (whatever that means, no commitments)
-Keeping the greenbelt -HA, never ever ever going to happen again in Australia.
-Oh. And last of all: "We promise to lead the global fight against climate change by delivering our world leading target of net zero emissions by 2050." HAHAHAHAHA -.-

That because the liberals aren't a political party they're a corporate sponsored charity organization

The UK Conservatives are terrible, but compared to our Conservatives, a bit more transparent and centrist. They will be abolishing hospital parking fees, while in this country we still charge people an exorbitant amount for ambulance fees. So much for free healthcare!
