At this point the burden of proof is on the party. Benefit of the doubt has ran out.

...because they're pushing age verification legislation? Did I miss some massive Labor pedophile scandal? If not, this just feels like a tautology. Labor is only pushing age verification because they're pedophiles, and they're pedophiles because they're pushing age verification.

Moreover even if we ignore that, what does that mean for the rest of their platform items? If Labor is pro net-zero, is it fair to characterize the situation as "the people pushing for net-zero are pedophiles"?

My point is that this has been consistent with their policy for the last couple of decades, and that the recent round of scandals have nothing to do with it.
