Comment on If Albanese’s lost his bottle, he should retire

Sometimes I think that Sussan Ley and the Liberals’ big problem is that Labor has stolen their clothes.

The very first sentence of the article is an absolute banger. The problem with Labor under Albanese is that it completely lacks any ambition. It’s a conservative party afraid to actually do anything, lest the regressive party use it as a cudgel against them. After the 2022 election, you could make an argument that this was necessary. They had a slim majority, a complex Senate to work with, and they spent their political capital on the Voice referendum, which sadly failed. But after the last election with a massive lower house majority and an extremely friendly Senate—if they’re trying to get progressive policies passed—Albanese has no excuse.

It’s a shame this article continues the old lie about Gillard’s carbon “tax” (that was actually an emissions trading scheme)
