  19. Good gracious, #AmyRemiekis really knows our #AlboPM. In this article she presents her assessement of the #Labor leader and for my money, I think she nailed it:

    “Albanese’s stumbles – from calling Grace Tame difficult and David Pocock a populist, to pushing back against a royal commission following Bondi (for much the same reasons as here), to dragging his feet on gambling reform and doing only the bare minimum when absolutely pushed, to feeling miffed securing fuel supplies and announcing a domestic gas reservation haven’t quelled demands for a gas export tax, to not pushing back hard enough against the misinformation and disinformation surrounding the Indigenous Voice – all of it comes back to the root cause that he gets uncomfortable, and defensive, when he’s asked for a bigger, and braver agenda.”

    “There is a running theme among Anthony Albanese’s missteps. His latest […] to dismiss calls for a royal commission into femicide and violence against women follows the pattern – the Prime Minister gets frustrated when the public’s agenda is broader than his own.”
