I agree with your views on the labor party, but I can't see the opposition being elected. There are so many people who still support labor. Everything they do is just image management (and not particular well, given the Herzog invitation). But lots of people still think they are supportive of affordable housing. They propose the HAFF, then the housing minister a couple of years later says she doesn't want house prices to go down. Your view of the party will depend on which media you've been exposed to. In 2022 albo said rent caps were "pixie dust". I don't think this statement will age very well, but that horse has bolted.
