  1. #Albo the least consequential PM since Billy McMahon, or maybe Frank Forde (McEwen was only in for a week, but he vetoed McMahon as Holt's successor, leading to Gorton's election). TBF, Morrison all negative, so Albo's zero an improvement #auspol

  3. Sad, but not in the least surprising. This is #Albo, after all. I asked at the time whether he would rise to the occasion, and noted "Betteridge’s Law of headlines says the answer to any headline question should be “No”

    ANY people discussing who is f*able is just lowest common denominator behaviour

    a country’s leader, and in public? just poor judgment.

    is #Albo trying to out-Morrison Scott Morrison? This “one of the common people” shtick is pathetic.

  7. CW: he’s been coddled and caressed by the alp since he was a teenager. he’s never had a non-alp job. not once, not ever.

    @NewtonMark

    Not a fan of Albo, nor am I trying to pick a stoush.

    But what you are saying is, he is uniquely qualified to be a POLITICAL leader with lifetime of experience.

    As someone who dipped a toe into politics, what most folks think politics is and what it actually is, are two different things. Vast majority of folk who think "I would be a better leader" would be eaten alive by pyraniahs

    #Albo is a figure head of a political moloch.
    He doesn't have to be smart, just be a good cog.

  8. Budget follows a familiar pattern. Change is obviously necessary, Albanese campaigns on a promise not do it, wins and digs in even further, finally dragged back to reality. See Stage 3 tax cuts. Royal Commission on anti-semitism fits the pattern, without an election.. #auspol

    Sometimes he holds on long enough, and the pressure goes away as putting unemployment benefits above poverty line. But broadly speaking, if it’s something a Labor government would do #Albo is against it.

    The Libs and onenation lost a great opportunity to really knacker #Albo , They should have supported the minimal changes that the budget made.

  11. HEYHEYHEY It's FAAAT #Albo

    Mansion on the cliffs like I'm a King.

    "I am pleased to hear the president and the first lady, along with all attendees at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, are safe," Albanese said in a statement.

    To misquote a far far better Labor PM:
    #Australia; just shoelaces dangling out America's arsehole.

    #Albo, you dummy, 85% of Australians hate #trump. Of those, few care how he leaves office. In a box? Yeah whatevs. Stick to your "not going to give a running commentary of the president" rather than race for the orange chocolate starfish.

  15. hear it from the horses mouth #albo :blobcatglare: #gasExportTax

    "Former Treasury Ken Henry and architect of the ill-fated Resource Super Profits Tax said Australia could have collected "hundreds of billions of dollars of extra revenue" if our natural resources had been taxed appropriately."

  17. so that gas tax is voted off i read 👀 while at the same time we don't have enough money to pay for two showers a week for disabled folks 😬 well done #albo

  19. Multinational gas companies are making billions in profit from Australian resources and paying almost nothing back. Norway taxed their gas and built a sovereign wealth fund worth more than $3 trillion. We're getting ripped off. #auspol #albo www.ourgas.com.au

  20. At the back of all this is the exclusion of dentistry from Medicare. Labor promised to fix this in 2019, but #Albo dumped the so he could deliver Scott Morrison's tax cuts. Instead, people are being encouraged to cash in their super to finance health care. #auspol

  23. If #Albo really wants a legacy, it won’t come from another landslide, it’ll come from finally making the gas giants pay their share. With energy prices soaring and foreign‑owned exporters paying next to nothing for Australian resources, a 25% gas export tax could fund childcare, dental care, and real cost‑of‑living relief. The move would expose the gap between Hanson’s rhetoric about ordinary Australians and her alignment with billionaire interests. This is Labor’s moment to show what democracy can deliver for people, not corporations.

  25. Just caught #Albo end of statement saying "...Prime Minister Wong..." and I thought for a moment that he and Penny had swapped jobs.

    Haha!

  26. @maudenificent

    Iran would be naive idiots to negotiate with turdmp regime. Twice now , in the midst if negotiations, Iran was attacked by the US.
    Its perfidy AND stupidity rolled into one.

    I'm so, so deeply disappointed in #pennywong an Asian, Lesbian in a gay marriage being a right of centre politician. She sold her soul to be the perfect party apparatchik.

    And once again, #Albo is a wet lettuce "leader"
    He was the first leader to lend aid to USRAEL invasion and hides behind a woman because he has no balls to say #ALP supports turds invasion of #iran

    Kylie Minogue (PADAM, Centre-left) will host and represent Australia.
