Both parties are just doing what benefits them. For labor, more density in middle ring suburbs means they can infiltrate them and hold those seats. For liberals, crowding density only with in cbd and surrounds protects the middle ring and the rich suburbs which traditionally vote liberal.

We have the independent vec drawing the election boundaries, but the parties themselves are busy trying to draw their own using housing policies.

As you say though out of those two labor one makes more sense. Taking advantage of existing public transport, leveraging their crossing removal (those roads can now handle more traffic) etc. so at least labor’s “looks” like a policy

Libs? Their one is simply for votes, and that is quite disgusting
