how the hell can this guy be the leader of the opposition?

literally the 2 big issues us Australians are facing are employment/under employment and housing costs/cost of living guy doesn't know basic figures that you would expect every MP to know…..

is there no one else!? dead set this guy is worse then Shorten….every time he opens his mouth i think he is a fraud who knows jack all about the job he is going for…

i think i would honestly accept him getting the unemployment rate wrong because the number changes every 1/4 but the cash rate has been at 0.1 percent since November 2020 thats almost 2 years. Albo is trying to be the next PM and he studied finance how the hell could he not know what the cash rate is….

i know this place is a LNP hate fest but considering most people here want love the ALP to win and they 'probably will' but this has to be concerning that this guy is leading the ALP.

for people saying this isnt a big deal - it is actually huge it is a massive gaff and it is something that any MP let alone future PM should know, i think the 'bias' to ALP kind of shines though on OZbargin - i guess will see how things go on May 21

        And Scott proved he'll turn tail at the sign of hardship. I'm fairly confident that the guy who forgot a thing one time is more likely a better fit for leadership than the guy who has run away every time something bad happens.

          turn tail at the sign of hardship.

          Oh, like Aloofbo did to address the harassment and bullying from his party members that contributed to Kimberley Kitching's death?

          Nowhere to be seen.
          No accountability…

            You're at slavoz levels of claims when you want to put someone dying of a heart attack as a definitive contributing link to claims of bullying…

            Congrats on reaching such a pinnacle of excellence

          He didn't run away. He had a holiday planned (would assume PMs need to book time off probably a year in advance). Bushfires got worse and made media attention while he happened to already be out of the country. Nothing he could've done about it from here anyway. What difference would it make if he was in Australia at the time? I admit it was a bad look but the media propped it up into something it absolutely wasn't and people seem to have swallowed it whole.

          I hate Scomo as much as the next guy but let's not pretend that being on holidays at the "wrong" time is worse than not knowing the poster stat of our economy. If Labor or the Greens had hoped to brush off the perception that they're desperately out of touch with working class Australia, it wasn't a good start.

        No need to speculate; ScoMo has proven to be a useless twat, and the only people who would vote for a useless twat, are about as useful as ScoMo.

      If you read Albanese’s background he’s actually seems to care a great deal about others. Hard to know on paper but he’s been an advocate for LGBT rights and better treatment of refugees - neither of which group he belongs to. I hope he doesn’t lose that if he gets the top job. I also haven’t heard of him being involved in any corruption, which is more than I can say for our current government and prime minister. So probably not fair to call him scum.

        Albo seems to be more civic minded than most, although Abbott was too, but the didn't translate to great outcomes. It's probably time for a new Government as "power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" I wonder if Albo will last a full term before Shorting does…what Shorting does.

        If LGBT or refugees consistently voted for the right, Albo or any other leftie would not give a shit about them. These groups have just been turned into vote printers for left wing parties to fill in the gaps. To think the pollies legitimately care about them is laughable.

        As soon as a gay person or refugee starts thinking for themselves and speaking out against the left, they quickly lose and assigned privilige by the party of tolerance.

    i know this place is a LNP hate fest but considering most people here want love the ALP to win and they 'probably will' but this has to be concerning that this guy is leading the ALP.

    FWIW, nothing outs a conservative more than leading off with a pity party. All fair game to criticise Albo, but let's not pretend like you don't have skin in the game and just trying to shill for your side.

    I've never understood the victim mentality that conservatives have. The LNP is the party in power, the LNP has been in power for the majority of the last 30 years. Since 1996, the LNP has been in power for five of seven election cycles.

    Do you really have to pretend like you are some sort of victim at every turn? Grow up and stop being a baby.

    literally the 2 big issues us Australians are facing are employment/under employment and housing costs/cost of living guy doesn't know basic figures that you would expect every MP to know…..

    And whose fault would that be that we're in the midst of this crisis? It's not the ALP that's been in power for the past six years.

    for people saying this isnt a big deal - it is actually huge it is a massive gaff and it is something that any MP let alone future PM should know, i think the 'bias' to ALP kind of shines though on OZbargin - i guess will see how things go on May 21

    Again, enough with the pity party. Are you still sore after finding out your fiancee wants to keep her own last name?

    My view - I've never been the biggest fan of Albo. He's a nice guy (I know someone who knows him personally), and I'm sure he has compassion / empathy, but he's never struck me as the intellectual type. That being said it's not like Morrison is some intellectual powerhouse either. The funny thing is how similar Albo and ScoMo are - both are a bit goofy, but it seems that's what the Australian public want. Intellectual types have never done well with the public, so maybe from a strategic POV, the ALP is onto something.

    Give me a bloody break!
    Scott Morrison:
    - Leaves to Hawaii during a national emergency when our country is burning!
    -Pathetic handling of Rollout of Vaccines during covid-19
    -Needs his wife's advice on the issue of parliamentary staff being raped in his own offices
    - Non existent in the flood response (Brings in Singapore government to help 😂)
    - Other world leaders call him a liar!
    - Other Liberal constituents call him out on his pathetic views
    - Protects and lies about Christian Porter when he was attorney general
    -Embarrassing on the world stage regarding climate change
    If you think I have missed anything and want to actually educate yourself then have a read of these 50 lies Scott Morrison has said backed up with the actual facts.

        That’s true, but it seems like it's also quickly forgotten. It’s almost as if they do enough outrageous and dodgy stuff some things will slide through unnoticed and anything but the most recent will be forgotten. This is a guy who brought a lump of coal into parliament to spruik it’s benefits, but now wants people to think thinks his party has changed it’s policies. Not to mentions sports and car park rorts.

                  @tryagain: Mate it's a looong and tiring road to full flesh this one out - I feel like every time I watch the ABC there's always something said that makes me raise my eye-brows.

                  I've said this before so excuse the copy and pasted points with a few extras added in that I remembered as I typed this. This list is by no means finite, it's just what I can remember off the top of my head.

                  -ABC have reported WA Borders have been closed for almost 700 days - this is an LNP talking point, not based in reality. LNP raised this as a talking point and the ABC were continually repeating it as a matter of fact. Incorrect, the borders were open between Dec2020 and June 2021. They have said this countless times in the last month or two - repeating that line verbatim even though it's untrue.

                  -When the LNP lost the seat of Strathfield they focused on the losing LNP candidate; they cut off the winning Labor candidate to broadcast the loser.

                  • Earlier in the year ABC News had Paul Fletcher on deriding Labor's Fast Rail Network for almost five full minutes - then the ABC news reader reiterated these talking points from Paul Fletcher, and then they gave 10 freaking seconds to Mr Albanese's announcement and that was all they gave him.

                  -90 min heart felt speech by Anthony Albanese at the National Press Club is summed up by the senior ABC journalist as "Wonky" (I can't remember the journos name soz), "vague", "who is he?"

                  -When Slomo claimed Richard Marles is a "Manchurian Candidate" they repeated it constantly as if fact - that's gross

                  -Back in February they had three stories within 30 mins on ABCNews that were criticising the WA borders. Three for a state that has performed amazingly thanks to Mark McGowan. There has been 11 deaths from COVID in WA.

                  -When the government pulled out that Home Builders grant (for people who could afford, what was it - $125K in renos?) they ran a story that was clearly a promotion for the grant.

                  -Just a few days ago they ran massive stories on all the floods, climate change and the IPCC report but literally no one iota of time spent on the complete inaction of the Federal Government with regards to climate change

                  -When the ABC ran a story on the Mr Albanese's pledge of $500m for the Newcastle-Sydney rail, they had a Liberl MP on first to slag it off and rifle off their don't vote Labor rhetoric. Happens all the time on the ABC

                  -Once the Fed government pulled their finger out and back-tracked on free RATs, the ABC just ran a story ("Millions of Australians can now access free RAT") without any mention whatsoever of how they cannot even be located!

                  -Did you see Grace Tame's "exchange" with the PM where she didn't smile enough for him? Soooo many people were coming to Ms Tame's side and the ABC completely ignored that and just ran with Ms Tame gave the PM a frosty reception without any explanation or cotnext as to why she may be acting that way

                  • Andrew Constance was on ABCNews described as a "Star Candidate" for the LNP - this is the guy that was twice demoted within the NSW government. I haven't found the ABC annoucning one single "star" candidate for the Labor party.

                  • I don't know how many freaking times the ABC will ask Mr Albanese how he'll fund x or how he'll fund y when they NEVER ask Scott Morrison to explain or justify any of his policies or platforms, he doesn't need to cost anything up. Never ask him about the $5B torn up contract with the French, etc.

                  • The ABC describing Mr Albanese as an 'unknown' (god damnit, they're the media - if the Leader of the Opposition is unknown - that's on the media!). They list him as "untested", as well. The man who was the Minister for Infrastructure and Development in Rudd's government, over $75B worth of infrastructure delivered without a hitch. Albo has been in politics longer than SloMo! Albo is literally, in the polls, preferred PM but they parrot off the ol' new phone, whu dis??

                  Look, I don't expect you to bother reading all that or even caring. You'll probably shrug your shoulders and be like naaah, they support Labor. But there is so little evidence of that. The ABC ran with the "mean girls" story for ages when this story didn't even have any hard evidence, it had no specifics, it had no substance.

                  I'm just severely over the ABC.

                  @Seraphin7: Not really, there are umpteen instances of, at worst, dirty/corrupt action or at best, inaction, from the LNP. They're focused on defunding medicare, professional sciences and clean energy, all of which we were and can once again be leaders of. Besides, we shouldn't be talking about those in charge but the policies for which they stand.

      Albo delivered over $75B worth of Infrastructure when he was the Minister for Infrastructure and Development. $75B delivered on time, on budget, no blow-outs and no accusations of impropriety. He delivered this in the Rudd's government when they delivered four years worth of the #1 performing economy ON EARTH. During a Global Financial Crisis.

      SloMo was sacked from the last two jobs he held in Government.

      You're not that big-brained, are ya, Seraphin?

        You mean all the projects that were totally over funded to begin with to ensure all the union mates got everything they wanted, but could still deliver on budget? You know, the ones that private enterprise would have built for $25b?

          lmao freakin' what?

          No I meant the $75B that ALP spent, whereas LNP would have spent $1000000B!!1!!!111! You can totally trust this number that I just quoted for the LNP!

          How about that NBN hey? Double the budget for half what was quoted… who's fault was that again? You can't blame Labor for that. Besides, it's almost irrelevant how much something costs when it is delivering a service or infrastructure to taxpayers - something the LNP is not well known for doing.

          Edit: I'm sure the submarines were also cancelled, to give Labor a nice gift of $5b in debt to deal with, as a secondary motive

            @SwarleyAUS: The NBN should never have been built. Full stop. End of story.

            Remember that whole thing was cooked up by those dolts Rudd and Conroy on a napkin at a restaurant.

            The biggest mistake the LNP made was not scrapping the damned thing the moment they got back into office.

            • ThithLord on 13/04/2022 - 09:02

              @Seraphin7: What the absolute bucket of fug is your reasoning for this?

              Are… are you Rupert Murdoch? I just cannot fathom someone shilling that hard for Rupey.

              @Seraphin7: So you agree 'over funding' projects is not inherent only to the ALP.

              Also: Do you WFH? Good luck without NBN. Do you stream Netflix? Good luck without NBN. The NBN, and even more so the non-watered down NBN, offers many benefits that cannot immediately be realised: https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/au/Documents/…

                @SwarleyAUS: I simply state that the NBN should never have been built.

                I do work from home, as does my wife.

                I do stream Netflix along with many other services, as does my whole family.

                All works perfectly without the NBN (and in fact works better than on the NBN).

                So yeah, the NBN is not needed when the private sector was and is more than adequately providing services that are frankly vastly superior.

    It's more of a concern that he thinks government debt is too high and wants to reduce it. He needs to understand that it is actually too low and should spend more in targeted areas

      Yeah, a trillion dollars in Federal government debt is far too low.

      We need to find more projects to throw good money after bad at invest for the future in so that even more people can leach off the government to create outstanding funding opportunities for feel good, but ultimately useless any number of worthy causes.

      Well at least there is bipartisan support for lowering debt… now who first espoused that high debt was a bad thing… surely it wouldn't be the LNP would it? </sarcasm>

    News Corp headlines bordering on Liberal propaganda are worrying. John Howard did the same thing years ago and it was a non issue - wonder what the difference was..

      Howard came out in support of Albo on Monday, then someone must have whispered in his ear and he's changed his tune today.

    If he was Biden we would say it's his dementia catching up. The truth is most of our politicians are just simple humans who want to be liked or like to be in charge. They rely on advisors and experts to guide them and their policies and their advisors rely on the politicians to convince the voters that what is done is for the overall good. Politicians are the middle men and they are not the experts. This is why some election promises are reneged because politicians are eventuality convinced by the science (advisors/experts).

    Day 2 of the campaign (not including the months Scotty has already campaigned on our dollar) and the gutter press think this will lose Albanese the election.
    Though reading this post I can see why they pushed it all day yesterday. Getting your knickers in a knot over a couple of forgotten numbers says more about you than him.
