It all starts here...
Does he last as leader for a full 3 years? Or is it entirely dependent on the polls?
Surely he'll have no issues fending off Dutton in a popularity contest?
That's good, because I think Albo is the nearest to a grass roots leader the party has had in a long, long time.Yes he does last.
The Labor party changed it's rules about electing leaders after the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd fiasco.

Not being a camera/media attention seeking leader is a change and will give him the chance to bring about some sensible improvements IMO.
It may be the dawn of a new Labor era, which would be refreshing.
Yes any other time I think he would have done well, right place, right time has a lot of effect on the outcome, as with everything a lot is about timing.Yes. I thought Beazley was a decent bloke too, but he couldn't beat Howard.

First things out of Albo's and Wong's mouth was all identity politics... Not even CC.That's good, because I think Albo is the nearest to a grass roots leader the party has had in a long, long time.

As long as Wong didn't have her hand up the back of his shirt, operating his mouth, it should be all good. IMOFirst things out of Albo's and Wong's mouth was all identity politics... Not even CC.
If they want a new era of grass roots politics, then they're going to have to get rid of that, because that is what will keep sowing the divisiveness that we currently have.
I wonder if the discounts on the E.V's will apply, if you have already ordered one, but it hasn't hit the country yet?? ?I liked Beazley.
But anyway 3..2....1 till free stuff.
I'm worried I'm going to end up with an electric lemon.I wonder if the discounts on the E.V's will apply, if you have already ordered one, but it hasn't hit the country yet?? ?
Highly possible, it doesn't matter to me a lot, being retired I can use either the standard bike, electric bike, electric scooter or electric car and public transport.I'm worried I'm going to end up with an electric lemon.
Good start from Albenese.
China says congratulations and we want good relations with Australia, blah blah blah.
Albanese straight back with "if you want improved relations with us then drop the tarrifs."
Direct, straight down the line. So nice.
At last an old school politician with a bit of class, it has been missing since 2007 IMO, as I said pre election Albo might take Labor back to its roots, rather than trying to make politics a media soap opera for attention seekers.Good start from Albanese.
Wasn't Tanya part of the "squad" that bullied one of the other members?At last an old school politician with a bit of class, it has been missing since 2007 IMO, as I said pre election Albo might take Labor back to its roots, rather than trying to make politics a media soap opera for attention seekers.
You can't expect the general public and the media to have respect for politicians, when they can't treat each other with common decency.
Albanese sent a signal on bad behaviour this week — and Plibersek scored his first rebuke
The timing of the Quad has been much to Mr Albanese's advantage. However, at home, the picture is grim on cost of living, as treasurer Jim Chalmers has underlined this week, writes Michelle Grattan.www.abc.net.au
One feature of Mr Albanese's first week was his signal that he is apparently determined to try to improve political behaviour.
He publicly rebuked his frontbencher, Tanya Plibersek, for insulting Peter Dutton, who next week will become opposition leader.
Ms Plibersek described Mr Dutton as looking "a bit like Voldemort", the villain from Harry Potter, saying: "I think there will be a lot of children who have watched a lot of Harry Potter films who will be very frightened of what they are seeing on TV at night, that's for sure."
She later contacted Mr Dutton to apologise. Mr Albanese said her comment had been unacceptable.
"I think that, in politics, we need to treat each other with respect. And I think that's important. Tanya recognises that, which is why she apologised," the new PM said.
He has got a bit of a mean girl's streak for sure.Wasn't Tanya part of the "squad" that bullied one of the other members?
