More than 18 months into government, both the Liberal National Party (LNP) and Labor continue to appear in a period of political lull, according to commentary across outlets. Coverage focuses on how two separate inquiries and a broader forced public debate shape the way each side operates and communicates. While the LNP is described as still not fully moving away from what is characterized as an opposition-era approach—particularly an emphasis on attack-style politics—the party is also portrayed as seeking clarity and traction in government.
